This is the one I've had for the last 2 years. No problems(knock on wood) and lightweight. Definitely recommend to anyone. I did get it on sale for around $90.

its just like the one you posted but bits a little smaller and its 2.5 tons. i looked at the one you posted in the store and its rather large. this one is perfect and its low pro


Hey that looks like a good one. Cheaper, smaller, and rated higher than the one I linked. I think I'll go with that one and 4 jack stands. Thanks guys.

Oh anybody have any coupon codes? The only one I found still valid is a 20% off one but it doesn't apply on jacks.

I have the larger low profile HF jack and love it. Works great!
As for coupons I think that all the HF coupons are invalid for jacks. Pretty much any slightly more expensive item the coupons are not valid on. Sucks!

I have this also. Works great and weighs half as much as a normal jack.

I have had this one for a few years as well. Had to bleed it a few times when new, but works great. Hard to beat for the price.

I own a Harbor Freight Jack as well. Blue though, and I have not yet had a problem. I love it

Just picked up an HF jack today. Good prices, they are having a 25% sale for Easter Sunday and gave me the discount early so I was able to get it cheaper.

I like it, pretty heavy compared to an aluminum one, but it just stays in my garage so not a big deal. Also, it has a slightly lower clearance than the aluminum ones.

you can get this from Costco...about 90bucks +tax........if you dont satisfied....simply return to costoc, no question ask. I dont recommended get the jacks from harbor freight, those are some cheapy jack, period.

Seems that there are many here that are happy with the HF jacks. I understand being leery of their products, but the jacks are winners.

I would not be at all surprised if your Costco jack is the exact same as a HF jack.

I've got this one from TireRack. The combo was $219 with 2 jack stands.



Definitely not as inexpensive as the ones from HF, but I saw some not so good reviews on theirs and got this instead. Glad to see the HF jacks are holding up, it would've been nice to save some money versus the TireRack one.
