About how long do these jacks last?

I don't have any more than 7 mos. experience with this specific jack, but my previous 3-ton jack was very similar and lasted a little over 4 yrs. and was also made in China. I inherited it from my neighbor used (5 yrs. old) and he regularly serviced 4 cars & a light truck with it. I had heard that China made jacks could be short lived, so having a 2 yr. warranty from a longtime & reputable company like OTC is comforting. I plan to take good care of my jack and anticipate it lasting a long time.

I dont know, I returned it after testing because there was rusted and peeled off a big junk of metal piece where the handle insert, the reinforcement bars were misaligned, it has terrible welding. I think it is too dangerous to lift vehicle, I dont know when it is going to fall apart. I dont want to kill myself one day.

Have had one of these for about 8 years or longer now but I also don't use it everyday. Maybe once a week sometimes and then might not use it for a month. And it doesn't have any leaks on it like I have seen on some others after a few years maybe because of my limited use though. And I am not trying to lift 1 ton Chevy either usually only work on import cars.

We have only had this jack for a couple of months. I can only tell you that it has worked well so far.

no longer have it, it broke. purchased it many years ago, probably 5 years ago. I don't remember if I had a jack as I gave it as a gift.

they were worth it for me. of course they are cheaply made, and will die eventually, but every set that I had lasted me a few months before something went wrong with them. if youre looking to just have a steady supply of headphones then id go ahead. but if you're looking for quality, then look at another product lol

When I went to the barker site and downloaded the brochure on the power jack it listed a 1 year warranty, so I think that is correct. It sounds like you saw a 2 year warranty elsewhere on the site, though, so I recommend contacting Barker about the discrepancy. Just as an update, I've had the jack for about a year now and have been extremely pleased with it.

this happened to me, too- cord rot and they quit working altogether about two months later. By the time i got around to finding my receipt, it was a month out of warranty. Bummer. Mine did last just about 2 years though (E2C), and i use them for exercising every day, over the ear. Great earphones. I miss them, and the Klipsch S4 i bought as replacements don't sound nearly as good (high end is missing). I may just by the S115 Shures since they are a "dynamic" earphone as well.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

Sorry I can't answer your question as the jack was bought as a gift for a friend.

I wear mine for about an hour each day, listening to audiobooks on my commute or while I putter around the house. The first pair lasted a year before the sound in one ear cut out. The second pair is still going strong at eleven months, but I ordered a new pair in anticipation of their demise. I think it's a fair lifespan for $10 headphones, and I like everything else about them.

Seems to be pretty durable. This is my second pair. I crushed the volume adjuster on the cord with a free weight bar (my fault) but I've had two pair of these for a total of ~ 2 years and I've had no issues with the cords. For perspective I use a average of 6-8 hours a week.

I've only recently got my pack of Jacks so my ball is still in tack. Hope it will last for some time yet? How long have you yours and how often have you changed it?

I put mine back into the box as soon as I unpacked them and sent them back. Very light and cheap...save your money and get a good set of stabilizing jacks.

I find them very good voice quality, if a little short on duration. The average length of time that I am able to use these headphones is between 2 and 4 hours (depending on how much I listen to music as well, in between calls).

I have had these for about 10 months and they seem to be holding up very well. The connector to my headphone jack on my laptop and to the ear buds appear the same as when I purchased them. I do not keep them in a case (just roll up and put in my purse to carry around) and use them between 2-3 days a week to listen to music while I'm at work and use 3-4 times a week to plug into a cellphone/mp3 to listen to music while running on a treadmill. My phone has fallen down while running unexpectedly and the headphones have just come unplugged with no damage to the wires at the connections.

Not enough time put into using them to tell just yet, but they have lasted just fine for the amount of time I have used them. Which for reference is maybe 40 or so hours since I got them a few months ago.TL;DR They seem pretty reliable so far.

I haven't had mine long (a few weeks) but from what I can tell they should last you a while. Mine have a few dings and a slightly bent tip from hitting a brick wall, from what I can tell they are pretty durable. I typically throw for an hour or so a day and mine are all still in great condition.

I don't know. It's a standard jack that work(ed) with my I-Pod shuffle. They didn't last super long, but I used mine for running and motocross, so they were exposed to perspiration, which I would have thought would be okay.
