[s-cars] Jack

[LL - NY]

I have the Harbor Freight jack and so far it has worked okay, however I did
need to top up and bleed the hydraulics on purchase, and it appears I do
need to do so again. Also, although the head casting hasn't broken, the
rubber pad has disintegrated and fallen off, so I again resort to the hockey
puck. It is used
constantly all summer for wheel changes for autocrosses, and it hasn't
failed me in two years of operation.
As with the Sears unit, it has a somewhat higher handle "load" so I don't
know if that is what Bob needs, but it IS considerably lighter than similar
size, rated steel jacks, and it's fairly wide and low so it's stable and
fits neatly even under the lowered UrS. And yes, it's made in China too.

HTH,
