[s-cars] Racing jack

[qshipq at aol.com]

 your FLAPS should carry them too.  I have both the HF and AC Delco version of these LW aluminum jacks - both ran me about 65 bucks on respective sale.  The AC Delco is much better built, and has three nice features lacking in the HF jack:  The AC Delco has:
Quick release push button spring pin holding the two halves of the handle
'Return to vertical' handle spring.  
Roller bearing on the handle-hinge>pump piston

The HF model uses a cheap hardware bolt you don't want to lose, no return to vertical spring action (read: "bonk"), and a higher effort lever action on the handle.  

HTH and my .02

i dont own the HF jack, but most of the Pittsburgh professional stuff i have is 

very good quality. Not quite SK or SO,but better than most.



I have seen others' racing jacks get low on fluid. That's maint. Which, unlike 

my old war hose, is apparently needed.
