Question:
Is this jack and its electric motor weatherproof?
asked by: JR
Expert Reply:
No, it is not JR. The Performance Tool Electric Car Jack item # PTW1609 is not weather proof. You're definitely not going to want to submerge it or use the electrical functions if it's pouring down rain.
If you're wanting a reliable jack that you can use in any type of weather, I recommend the Powerbuilt Bottle Jack item # ALL640405. It has the same 2-ton capacity and will give you a lift range of 6-3/16" to 12-1/16".
Are you needing a jack that can get wet or just want to have one you can use in an emergency no matter what the conditions?
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
