I have owned this one (http://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-low-lift-transmission-jack-69685.html) for about 2 years. used it about 5 times and my thoughts are meh. Pros -The jack arm can swivel 360deg and pump, nice when you need to move under the car -Hand activated pressure release (as apposed to using the lift arm which allows for easier adjustments) -4 swivel casters -Adjustable arms on lift plate for different sized pans Cons -Says low profile but you will probably need at least 30" of clearance to pull that out from under a car with a trans on it. so trans needs loaded and unloaded underneath the car which fucking sucks by yourself. -Tilt and clocking adjustments work ok but there is about 4 inches of play in each adjustment so depending on where the weight is centered this can make it difficult to line up -The chain included to secure trans to lift plate is crap I replaced it with a ratchet strap -The last 2 times I used the jack it moved very little while pumping so I think I need to bleed it. I have gotten some good use out of it but am not overly impressed. It has made a few jobs easier and I would say its worth the extra 45$ over the scissor type that needs the socket wrench to lift if you think you will need it more than once. but if you want a good high quality long lasting tool, this is not it.

Hi Jackson Did you have the block magnafluxed? any pictures? what are you looking to get for it?

Hi I'm Zach 25 years old and live in Columbus. Have a passion for working on cars and other stuff. mostly self taught and with advice from other people with experience. I took 3 quarters of automotive and AMT training at cscc but thats about it. I have a 2002 Camaro rs that I will be doing a motor swap on soon once I get my garage back in order. Recently finished rebuilding the engine in my 1948 Ford 8N. Tried to get it running last year and found it had 3 seized valves so I decided to do a rebuild. my first actually Here's some pics http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062314203910_zpsroygavhi.jpg Stuck Valves http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062414221449_zpsvzb6v4iz.jpg Cylinder head http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110327_zpsjgxnop5a.jpg Cylinder 4 was pretty bad, later found a crack and a bit of missing material on the surface of the exhaust manifold on that cyl http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110411_zpsreoybch7.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110422_zpsjjj8ye9t.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/070914174619_zpswcem127m.jpg After machine shop http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214160911_zpsrtxwy0lc.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214160927_zpsntjiebra.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214161005_zpsjuo1g352.jpg New bearings and polished crank, had to get another set of bearings cause i was not careful and scratched one and didn't want to risk it http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/082414134315_zpsxicrxfan.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150120_191719_zpsbaihdaf1.jpg Made these to adjust valve lash, they hold the lifters while the adjustment screw is turned http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_192349_zps562kzzjl.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_192321_zpsdfknml1w.jpg Reattached http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_163302_zps13tdaav3.jpg This is where I am at now. Runs and drives good hydraulics are working and only 11 months later. I do have more pics of painting and sheet metal work but its a pita to get them off my phone http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150505_194505_zpsmlomfrnp.jpg fenders still need paint but the are free of rust holes and relatively flat. front wheels too but the back wheels are pretty far gone I don't really want to waste effort on trying to make them look better. still a work in progress
