Best Hydraulic Jacks

Hydraulic jacks are one of the most critical safety tools in any garage or job site. A bad jack can bleed down, twist under load, or fail without warning. This category focuses on jacks that lift smoothly, hold pressure, and stay reliable over time.

I’ve lifted everything from rusted pickups to loaded trailers with jacks that either held strong or tried to kill me. This is the no-nonsense lineup of the best hydraulic jacks, including floor jacks, bottle jacks, and specialty designs that actually lock solid and do not leak down when you’re underneath. Thin steel, weak seals, and sketchy valves get tossed so you only see the tough ones I’d trust with my own life after 20+ years on real shop floors.
