Jack:
I'll add my vote to the "worked fine for me" camp.
I bought mine from Harbor Freight about 3 years ago and it has performed
very well under a lot of hard use/abuse.
I use mine in the shop, out in the dirt and it also gets thrown in the
race car trailer whenever I use it, as the trailer jack will not retract
far enough to swing to park position when the trailer is hooked to my
truck.
The one problem I have had is that the side pins that restrict the lever
movement fell out from vibration on a long tow, also some of the wheel
bolts backed out. I'd suggest making sure all the fasteners get some
locktite if you do use the jack on the road, as a bit of prep work sure
beats having to crawl around looking for the bits. BTDT

Subject: [FOT] aluminum jacks
I see that harbor Freight has the price for aluminum floor jacks down
to $69.95 on an internet special sale. I have one of those jacks that
I purchased four years ago for $230. I have been pleased with it but
it does have a leakage problem under certain conditions.
If anybody has purchased one of these in the last year or so, have
you had any quality issues?
