Horbor Freight Aluminum Jack
 

FYI

I just received an email advert from HF. THE jack is on sale for $79.99, then a $5 coupon.

I might dust the copwebs off the wallet and finally get one of these babies.

I bought one. I would rate it a B- at best. I have two other floor jacks. One is Sears 1 1/2 ton I bought in 1975 or so. It works great. The other a WalMart $15.00 special. Both work better than the Harbor Freight jack. :shock: :roll:

I just bought SUV jack at Sears. On sale pretty cheap.
I used it and like it. 2 pumps to get it up to the frame and it goes 3-4" higher than most of the other cheapo jacks. It's not that much heavier.

Haven't tried yet, but it might get the A$$ end up high enough for a drop.
If not in 1 step at least in 2 steps instead of 3-4.

Which jack Chris? Both are 3000 lb but one is a rapid pump and larger while the other is not and smaller.

The smaller one has been $79.99 for awhile now and the larger one $129.99.

I recently bought the smaller one as I will use it next season for DE's ... it will replace the $30 jack I bought from Sears a few years ago. So far around the garage it has been fine so you can call me a satisifed customer.

Have the “little one” for the track, no equal :D Use the other around the shop, very nice too. Have several of the SUV jacks for real heavy (lifting the truck, side of the shed) use :shock: Like screwdrivers & coffee cubs, always nice to have a choice :!:

Jeeze Dave, what are Coffee Cubs? ;)

The primary good thing about the HF jack is weight. I have a 3 ton jack that I think weights about 3 tons. I would not event think to hual it to the track. I don't think the HF jack would hold up like the heavy one in day to day use.

Easy big guy coffee “cubs” are those round containers w/an opening on the top, closed on the bottom, handle on the side. I only have the 2 thumbs but they are always in the way :!:

:lol:
I have the HF aluminum racing jack, the blingy orangish gold colored one.
I bought mine for $89.99 when I got it a year ago. It's not the best jack out there but I like it because it's easy to transport and it does the job.

No kidding. I have an all steel 3 ton jack and the thought of taking it to the track is giving my a hernia. At this point, do we have enough jacks in Dorkiville for track weekends? Is it time to start looking into other must haves like a portable compressor and air tools?

I have a good 2HP piston compressor on a pancake tank that I used to take it to the track but with air for tires available at each track and not using air tools at the track stopped carting it around. If someone wants to do the moving I will be glad to designate it the Dorki track compressor.
