(best Tony Montana voice) Parts,,, we don need no stinking parts...
actually I have a customer that got a new linde jack the same month they got a new EP jack (about 3 years ago now), and I got to tell you,,, in this one operation, the EP has held up better than the linde, and the price of parts for repairs on the EP has been about 1/8 of the the cost the same customer has spent on parts for their Toyota jack. (I don't take care of the Toyota, the local Toyota dealer takes care of that one, I just see the bills when they ask me if 'that can be right' what they got billed for, mainly wheels and bearings).
