BIGGU Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Well since i lowered my car my old jack would not fit under the car. no wonder so i took a trip to a couple of stores to find a nice jack, i ended up at Harbor Freinght and i picked up this nice jack and jack stand combo. its an aluminum jack and stand and the jack can be picked up with only one hand. its such a nice kit. the handle is made quick release and there is a foam part at the bottom so you no longer hit ur car. i payed only $129.99 and original it is $200+ its such an awsome deal. heres picturs of it the guy said he only had 4 or 5 left so i would hurry out there next time and get one http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/728000-728999/728358_96_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/728000-728999/728358_95_full.jpg if you got $130 layign around i would get these they are so nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Be careful. I've heard they fail a good bit. The jack that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 HF is on 161. And Austin, when they go bad, find the screw that says "Do not adjust" and play with it. Done that on 2, have not had a problem since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 i sure hope they dont fail. its not made by harbor freight its made by a company called u.s. general but its probably the same in one. store is located on cleveland ave and 161 where the old krogers used to be or acrost the street from roosters.

street pilot Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 In the future, you could just toss a scrap piece of wood (2x6" ideal) under each front tire then drive up onto them instead of getting a new jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 lol i was doing that for a while but it got to the point i needed a brick to make it higher. i figured i needed a new one since we got about 3-4 cars that use a jack on a almost dayly. not really of course, but lets say jon is using it and i need it i have to wait. easyer to just get another jack. plus i went with my dad and he bought it. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostedgtp Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I bought a aluminum jack from HF about 1 year ago and it failed last week. I was thinking about getting one from sears. I wonder if they carry a lifetime guarantee on there jacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
