Would you trust a Harbor Freight jack?

I would use jackstands even with a 900 dollar jack.

Absolutely. One lifts the car with a jack and supports it with jack stands.

I would look for a real jack used on CL. In a pinch HF is fine.

[slow e30]

i would trust it as much as a crapsman.

The only thing you should have to trust a jack for is to hold a car up long enough for you to put jack stands under it. I'm sure a harbor freight jack would work just fine.

[mattdk318i]

same here, I always use jackstands just in case. but overall the jack works well.

It's not like you lay under the car with the jack supporting it. *Shifty eyes*

I have one, I like it. Take it to Auto-x's everytime even.

Either of those should be okay. Floor jacks rarely suddenly fail when under load. Instead the seals leak and won't allow the jack to lift the car or it will slowly settle. You never support a car with a floor jack (that's what jack stands are for) so neither of the usual failures are anything to worry about.

My HF jack is a piece of shit, but it works.
