Leaving it outside in the elements causes the jack shafts to rust, the rust wore out your seals. If you leave the new one out you will have the same issue.
But you can see the ram piston is not rusted. The ram piston is normally retracted and protected inside the outer cylinder. Seals wear out, or deliberately made to fail. I have a 1.25 ton similar style but different brand jack. Right out of the box, the seals were not properly installed resulting in failure of the small pumping piston after a few uses. The ram piston seals failed after a few years of very light use. These were easily repaired using some common o-rings. The reason for the poor factory instillation is to get people to buy a new jack as happened in this video. The jack design is perfectly fine and would not fail if properly fitted. My replacement o-rings haven't failed. For my jack, out of the box, only 1 o-ring on pump piston where 2 were needed. On ram piston, 2 o-rings and 2 nylon spacers were needed. But there was only one spacer.
Just replace the bleed screw and fill hole O-Rings with Floor Jack oil\sealer....As the O-rings on the top leak over time....You can flush the old fluid out through the fill hole in the rear..While you have the air bleed screw out...
I just brought this 2.5 jack today , it’s price at 199.99 now compared to when you made your purchase! These jacks is steady increasing because they can’t stay in stock and they high in demand..
Had mine for many years and have not had an issue. Glad you bought another one. Worth the dollars

@@escueme Damn! Inflation!!
I didn’t get the 1 year warranty ? should I go back and get it, I only have 90 days left?
Question: do you need pliers to get rid of the lock?
Benny - how is the jack holding up? Thinking about getting one myself.
Holding up well with no issues as of today.
Does it still work?
Do you still recommend this Jack after a year later?
Yes I do. Still work as when I first bought it no issues.
Yo, 1 month later, does it still work?
Yes it is.
Is it lighter than a steel one?
yes
Do you like this one better than Daytona?
I like the Daytona because you can use it with low cars. Only reason I got this jack is because its light when taking it to the track.
U need to show how fast it is under load.
Next time ask LeBron James to stop the dribbling drill .
you let your tape measure snap back like that - the end will break off
