My neighbor's comment about his old floor jack made me check my own gear

He was telling me he had his 3-ton jack from the 80s fail last month, and it was just sitting there with a slow leak he never noticed. I went out and looked at my own jack, which I bought used about five years back, and sure enough the seal looks a bit rough. It's one of those things you just assume works until it doesn't. How often do you guys check your basic safety gear like that?

Good point from @piper_green about the release valve. Guess we all need a yearly gear check, right?
