The Blackhawk B6350. Its 3.5-ton capacity and 22-inch lift height give more headroom for heavier trucks and lifted suspensions. The BIG RED tops out at 20-7/8 inches and 3 tons.

Which jack is easier to store?

The BIG RED. Its frame is 24.7 x 11.3 inches, smaller than the Blackhawk's 30.13 x 15.75 inches. The Blackhawk also weighs about 85 lbs, so it is harder to move around.

Which one lasts longer?

Both are steel hydraulic jacks with built-in safety valves, and neither listing gives a service life. The Blackhawk's higher capacity means it runs further from its limit on heavy vehicles, which can reduce strain.

Does either jack have a swivel saddle?

The Blackhawk does, with 360° rotation to help line up the lift point. The BIG RED listing does not mention a swivel saddle.
