I happen to be over at Harbor Freight getting some tools and came across this floor jack....it's the finest I have ever seen at this price. Totally high tech, and light weight, a few pumps and your 17" up.

I have no affiliation with Harbor Freight, this is just worthy of mention.


P.S. no jacking jokes

 

Yeah, the Harbor Freight jacks arent' too bad....I've had one.....and know lots of them are in use...cheap and easy to rebuild if necessary....

 

It looks like the one at CostCo.

 

I have one of theirs and have been very happy with it.

 

Exact same as what I have, it's superb, especially for getting under side skirt.

 

Looks exactly like the jack I got at Pep Boys on sale for $99. Regular price was about $130. Works great.

 

Be careful with HF jacks, they are notorious for leaking and losing pressure. Not safe without a jackstand back up. The Craftsman is much better, HF is junk IMO.

 

Ditto, great jack.

I personally wouldn't touch a chinese jack with a barge pole

 

I have the craftsman floor jack and it is identical to hf's just different color. These jacks are sold in very slight variations and different colors. great allrounder, but becareful of lateral stress as in jacking car up on slight inclines (quick inspections) tthe jack will flex

 

Price of this jack is more then reasonable and it seems like it can sneak under the lowered vehicles with ease!.. which other brands do you guys recommend?..

 

If price isn't an issue the AC jacks are hard to beat http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/sh...ACHyd1_pg1.htm
I've got one in the garage and love it. However they are expensive and heavy. For a reasonably priced, lightweight jack, the HF looks hard to beat. I ordered one for my son.....but.....if I ever catch him using it without stands I will kill him.

 

is this the one from craftsman?.. by looking at the picture, the HF seems like it can go lower then the craftsman.. unless I have the wrong model..

here's the link to craftsman, let me know if I have the right model..

actually.. after reading all the reviews for each jack made by craftsman, it seems as though everyone had the same issue - the pump leaking oil.. so maybe craftsman isn't the answer for jacks.. well at least what the reviews say...

 

Do yourself a favour and get either an AC, Compac or Blackhawk jack
