BIG RED Torin Hydraulic Welded Bottle Jack

Beware of storage leakage. I thought this was a nice jack...bought it, read up on the use and then stored it away in the truck tool box which is sealed. One year, three months later I go to pull the unit from the tool box and mind you, it has been stored unused since new. I open up the case and what a mess. All the oil has leaked out of the top shaft seal. So I cleaned up the mess, re-filled the jack with hydraulic jack oil and re-inserted the oil plug. Now it sits waiting for me to monitor and see how long it takes to leak again. Useless junk. I have had a lot of bottle jacks in my work on the farm and never had one do this. No trust in this brand so looking to spend more for reliable use.
