Those aluminum jacks all came out of China about the same time for about
the same money from mostly I think the same plants, no matter who sells
them. Some look a little different.

I have a 25+ year old orange Taiwanese floor jack, was one of the first
things I ever bought at Price Club back in the pre-Costco days. It's
survived massive abuse over the years, it came with a seal kit that's
still around here somewhere. The handle-return spring just broke about
a year ago (the impetus for buying the big AC Hydraulics jack) but aside
from that it still works fine.

John.

is contaminated with melamine....;-)
