Cool Thanks

 

Nice, and that 20% off coupon. They have a store near me, I might go and pick this up.

 

^ +1 there's a harbor freight near where i'm staying for the holidays. good lookin' out mike

 

nice

 

good call. good prices. lifetime warranty.

 

and price match for a year! thats unheard of... I doubt that jack will ever be cheaper anywhere though...

I hope theres still a jack left by the time I get over there

 

price match for a year?? whats this price matching? I didn't see anything about that.

 

its on the bottom of their print ad: "We will beat any competitors price within 1 year of purchase"

Most places do that for 30 days - they pay you back the difference (sometimes plus 10% of the difference).

 

oh, word...I didnt read to the bottom of the ad

 

I'm not sure if its on the internet ad... but its on the Westways (AAA mag) print ad

 

I have this jack.
It gets the job done, low profile, light weight, doesnt take up much room, but squeaks with a sound of uncertain strength, as if it were to give out. Plus it doesnt raise the car that high. I would have to use wood blocks ontop of the lift pad to get cars up high enough to work under them comfortably. Thus i had to upgraded to a http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1020/. Harbor freight jack is kewww for here and there, but not for frequent uses.

 

i have the summit racing floor jack you linked...its the bees knees

 

there are boatloads of better jacks than the one on sale at Harbor Freight, but not for $60. The Summit one listed ids over three time more.

Church Automotive uses one similar (possibly exact) as the Harbor Freight one... and I can guarantee with 100% certainty that they lift cars more often than any of us - however, they do go through a lot of 'em, so if you need one for that kind of use, this might not be the best choice.

For my uses the HF one will be good - especially if I don't have to use the OEM jack just to get the floor jack under it (like I do now with sh!tty Craftsman jack).

 

I normally just drive onto a brick and it gives me enough clearance to get under my car with a jack.
