OTC 1522A Stinger Heavy-Duty Transmission Jack

The OTC 1522A Stinger is a heavy-duty, low-lift transmission jack designed specifically for Class 7 and 8 trucks, capable of supporting loads up to 2,000 lbs. Its unique low profile design allows it to fit under trucks with minimal clearance, making it particularly useful for clutch repairs and the installation of heavy transmissions like the Eaton Fuller Roadranger. However, consumer feedback highlights some notable concerns regarding the product. Users have reported issues such as a "bent POS trans jack" which raises doubts about its sturdiness and durability. Additionally, there are complaints regarding the difficulty of understanding the manual, with one user expressing frustration, noting, "You can do it on the floor, but you’re going to want a trans jack to remove and install the trans itself." Given the significant negative feedback regarding its construction and user manual, potential buyers may want to consider these factors before purchasing. While the OTC 1522A Stinger has the specifications to handle heavy tasks, the reported issues could impact its overall reliability and user satisfaction in this category.
