Harbor freight for the win. Might as well take advantage of cheap chinese labor while it lasts before we become the cheap labor.

There is nothing wrong with Harbor Freight or China.Comment

Actually, garage journal has some semi-decent reviews of their compressors. I think they're hecho in mexico. Check out garage-journal's comprehensive harbor freight pass/fail thread.Originally posted by george graves View PostComment

I found if you buy the HF "racing" jack, Take the side bolts out one at a time and put a few dabs of blue loctite on each bolt your problems will be minimal!!
Remember cross threading is the only thing stronger than loctite!!Chris Leone

I was on the fence about the compressors but for the price, I gave one a try. I got the 21 gallon a few months back and seems to be worth it.Originally posted by george graves View Post
I did buy a jack there in the beginning of the year (the one with the LED lights on the pad) and the lights crapped out. I had the wnt and brought it back for exchange...that one crapped out the first time used. Not worth the hassle but it jacks up fine. I dont care who makes the jack, a stand will always be used...or at least the best use for a bcap anyway.Comment

HF rocks. Save all your made in USA crap. Cheap is cheap and if it lasts any duration at all I probably need a new one anyway. Had their alum jack for 3 years now. Works fine. Metric sockets, ratchets, etc. Working fine.
That engine stand looks like a drive over there tomorrow. Thinkin on rebuilding me a M20 here soon.sigpic 1987 325isComment
