Ive had amazing luck with harbor freight jacks as well. Used the same one for about 10 years and have never even needed too put oil in it.

Definitely would not use this one again... I had it and it lasted about 2 lifts on my camaro, before it started spilling its guts out and reseambling the tower of pisa.

Good thing that Harbor Freight tools does stand behind their products, hence why upgraded to the 3 ton super low profile steel jack. Thing is a monster, has been a great jack for the money.

I am honestly floored (no pun intended) that these HF jacks are holding up. Will keep in mind for the future!

As anything you buy at HF you run the risk of the 50/50 clause.
Sometimes you get good and others you get squawdoosh!

I have had bad luck with the jacks at HF. However I have had good luck with their grinders and cut off tools.

HF will stand behind everything they sell though, and that in itself might be worth a looky lou
