Having issues with my jack and have been shopping somewhat.
Was looking at Harbor Freight, even went in the store but came out empty handed.
Any of you guys using one from them, any input?

Thanks James.

I have 3 of the smaller aluminum "Racing Jacks" and have used them for years with no issues. They are light enough to throw in the trunk or back of the truck to avoid having to dig out the factory wimpy jack if you have a flat. I paid $59.99 on sale (when are they not on sale?).

I have two from Harbor Freight. A small one and a big one. Owning them has been uneventful, which is what it should be.

They are comparable in quality, in my opinion, to the rest of the relatively inexpensive house brand floor jacks,from the major retailers. All of them are just a bit in the crude side.

I always try to buy high quality tools, MAC, Matco and Snap On - but some of the Harbor Freight items are SO inexpensive in comparison. These jacks just seem to work fine and the lack of high end quality isn’t a problem, as the feel of a quality wrench vs a cheapie might be.

That was my two cents worth on a Friday afternoon
