This is off that corner carver website:

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr...w=Yes

This Craftsman jack is at full height in 2 pumps and has the same full-height/minimum-height/capacity as the harbor freight jack but it's a bit more money.

Then again.. it's craftsman... and there's always a sears where I am. I'd rather take something back (1 yr warranty) then ship it back.

2 Pumps gets that "saddle" to the chasis....

I think it will still take 7 pumps to be at full height

Look at the comparison on Corner Carvers w/ pics. Looks pretty impressive to me.

I never mail order from HF. It takes 2-3 weeks to get there, not everything shows up, and you are never notified of things that are backordered/discontinued/out of stock that wont be shipped.

Go to the store - but bring a printout of the online price. They'll match it for you, but wont verify the price if you just say "i saw it online for.... "

I have the craftsman jack, I love it.. It will reach full height in 2 pumps if there is no load on it.. Once it hits the jack point though, it pumps like a normal jack, which is fine with me.. It rolls great, pumps great, easy to carry, parts are close if I ever need them.. Worth the extra 100 IMO.. I have seen to many cheap jacks crap out..

Another option from Summit Racing (I saw it in the catalog but there's no on-line pic).

SUM-G1034 Floor Jack, Light-Weight Racing Style, Aluminum Tomorrow $169.95

I ordered three things from Harbor Freight, they arrived yesterday, exactly 14 days after ordering. The Harbor Freight in Cleveland didn't have one of the items I was looking for so I had to go the online ordering route.

I was looking through a Northern Tool catalog and saw "light weight racing jacks" for $20, then I realized they were mini-jacks, capable of only lifting 200 lbs. What the hell are those for, R/C cars?

Ha, that reminds me of the old A.J. Foyt Craftsman commercial. "If it breaks, you can take it back, because you done know where it come from"
