Thats a good price, though I'd imagine shipping for me would be a killer!

i went to HF a few wks ago to look at this jack. it's seriously inferior to the craftsman alumi/steel jack.. also inferior to the $100 alumi jack sold @ Cotsco.. caveat emptor man..

but the price sure is right!

I own this jack.
One of the rear wheel assemblies came apart a few months after I purchased it.
Another S owner I know has the same jack and had the same problem.
Then Harbor Freight sold me the wrong replacement wheel.
It's cheap and light. It's NOT durable.

Racing Jack... Hmmm...

Are they designed for straight line acceleration or autocross?




I wonder how they are in the rain?
