FYI on the subject, I've got the craftsman floor jack, 24" I believe??  The highest one they got, for SUVs and such.  It only has a 1 year warranty, and it started leaking after 1 year, ofcourse.  Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it needs to be pumped a bunch.  I wouldn't recommend it.

You can replace the seals in those cheap. Take the hydraulic cylinder apart grab the seals and go play the match the seal game at the hardware store. carefull not to scratch and dent the cylinder rod too much, it will cause leaks.

Sears should be able to get you the seals you need.  I went there 2 weeks ago to look for a safety switch key for a tablesaw thats over 20 years old, they had them on the shelf in stock.
