          not bad for the price even if it fails a month out of warranty...then again how often did you use it?

            Is there even a Harbor Freight around here? I wonder if it'd fit under my girlfriend's Beetle....

              I have two harbor freight jacks and one craftsman. All are aluminum. The C-man jack sucks. Needs to be bled all the time or it won't pump up. The HF jacks rule!

                    I have the one in the OP and it just gave out after the warranty was up. Started leaking fluid everywhere. I'm kinda pissed, as I don't use the jack that often, so this was the 10th use or so.

                      As far as I can remember, this happened to ours as well. It was a long time ago but as far as I can remember we just replaced and o-ring and it was good to go. Hope that helps!

                          looks just like my ex boyfriends. Worked great used it all the time on our cars. The only thing weird was that instead of saying Warning it said Warnig which made it seam a little cheap.

                            This one?
                            http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47246

                            I was looking at that one and it's 3.5" minimum. I was thinking about getting

                            http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=67022

                            It goes lower and holds more weight, but with that price it makes me think it might be shitty quality.

                            Edit: D'oh, I just realized that one is not aluminum. Not sure I really need one though.

                            And to answer my own question, I found out there IS a Harbor Freight in Sacramento.

                            Or maybe it was a message about the wars in Africa?

                              I have the AC Hydraulics DK20Q, with a height of only 80mm, it fit under my slammed E30 effortlessly. Sometimes i had to put it up on a 2x4, depending on work surface.



                              Capacity is 4400 pounds i believe....

                              And I also have 2 sets of these:

                                I have a huge jack i got from costco. They did not have any aluminum ones so the one i got weighs 80-90lbs. Thinking about getting the HF jack just so i don't have to lug mine around.
