I have this same jack and I love it. I wish I had waited a little longer for the reduced price AND the different colors!

I paid $279 for mine from harbor freight.

Great jack.

good luck,

aj

Depends on the price. I might need something to back up my super pimp Brunnhoelzl.

If you get on their mailing list they often send out coupons for money off. You'd get at least $10 off that way. For people near a store, they'd come out better to buy it themselves... or for that matter, shipping is free on their website.

Not trying to kill your buy, but getting money off doesn't necessarily make it cheaper.

I did see the blue one in the store the other day. It's very nice looking. I almost bought it despite just buying an AC jack.

I haven't beent to the local HF store for a while, but some items are are only sold online. I wanted the valve adjustment tool and they told me to buy online only, as it was not sold in the store. I'm interested but might be cheaper for me to just use their $5 off coupon and free shipping online.

FYI, I have not had good luck with this jack.
It does not stay up, slowly seeps down and makes a lot of not-confidence inspiring creaking noises

And good luck getting them up in four pumps...

I don't have any complaints other than I can't get the six pump action. The jack raises fully after about 9 full pumps...

Elgory, if you find that article, please post in again
