Before buying this, just to see if anyone is using this to get some feedback..
@_@ I really want to own a low-profile jack so I don't have to borrow my friend's one everytime I work on my car

Just want to see anyone's comment on that jack..

I just got a HF jack as a gift, the low profile one that goes for around 80$. best jack i have had so far

Weirdly enough, HF > Craftsman here. The Craftsman jack really does suck.

I too was gifted with a HF jack. its pretty nice!

no wonder why sears is selling for $50 for a low-profile jack

We have used and abused a HF jack for 4 years now (one jack, multi-car team, 10+ race weekends a year) and it has never let us down.

I know a racer who had his craftsman break the first time he used it, as well as a few others who used to own craftsman jacks.

Harbor freight just had a 20% off coupon in Honda Tuning magazine too...save a few bucks

Those coupons appear in all the automotive magazines.

Cool, wasn't aware of that

I have a low profile steel HF jack (not the nice aluminum silver and blue one) its a bitch to carry around to auto x events and such but so far its never let me down.

I've been too lazy to return the piece of **** craftsman, I was using my buddy's HF and need to get one

You can buy the Princess Auto aluminum low profile jack in Canada $130

edit: you don't need a low profile jack just to work on your car just use some pieces of wood to drive onto

Stinkycheezmonky

Driving up onto wood sucks, IMO. So much easier to just have the right tool, especially when its not that expensive (HF = $60 after coupon).

essex

That's true I was just reading his post and he makes it sound like he HAS to borrow a low profile jack to work on his car.

I bought something from them once and took the extended warranty. I think it was a grinder or something. Registered online and had to give an email address.
Now they send me coupons all the time.

Post links to exact jack + coupon. Time to ask for a christmas present

Stinkycheezmonky

Here's the jack: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91039

But I already deleted the email with the coupon If I get another one (I tend to get one per day) I'll post it up.

Edit: You can try digging through these links too:

i've barely used my craftsman and it leaks oil

Just a warning on the harbor freight jack:

DO NOT raise the jack all the way up to the highest level. Doing so will push one of the piston o-rings into the internal threads on the hydraulic cylinder. After a while, that o-ring will get scratched up and leak.

Stinkycheezmonky

I haven't had that problem with mine, and its definitely been all the way up a lot There are a few different HF models/"brands" over the years though.

Stinkycheezmonky

$10 off a $69.99+ order at HF: use code 143-097-563, lasts through 12/6/09. Best I can do for now

As suggested earlier, the current issue of Car & Driver has an HF ad with coupons at the back. One of the coupons is for this jack for only $59.99!! The expiration date on the coupon is 4/1/10. That is a killer deal!

Thank you for the suggestion!
