I'll let you guys know when mine gets here, it was shipped yesterday ground. Might take it a few days, but I will do a comparison and you'll all laugh at the teeny tiny jack I have now....

I have the original HF aluminum jack that is branded US General. It is at least 15 years old and still works great.

A sign with VERY BIG letters. I love it. Have been over priced on all their stuff for as long as I can recall. Some names brand stuff is worth the price, - SK has been doin it for me at a fair price and better quality IMO.

Floor jacks, - as long as you acquire at the very least a 2.5T, you can't go wrong at harbor freight (solely referring to FJ's lol). I have a big orange heavy and slow 3T and a much older 2.5T from HF. I think both only do 19.5" (?)..might go higher can't recall. I can make it go much higher when I feel the need lol.

Anyway, yea they have some great FJ's for the price.

My HF has outlasted my old Larin by quite a spell. That Larin needed jack oil damn near every time I used it. It was always wobbly... and I paid about the same price as I did my HF jack. Another thing you can't go wrong with is HF's jack stands. They are really solid. I have a set of 3 ton, and a set of 6 ton.

Same here on the stands, - all I use is the 4 6T's anymore. For everything lol. Smaller set is, I think they are buried under parts in the shed out back lol.

I have the old style 3T that I wouldn't attempt to lift off the ground. The largest steel wheels I've seen on their FJ's yet. But man, that's one heavy jack! Wish I could use the height it offers..truck tops out on the garage door opener before it arrives. It goes high enough I guess, but who doesn't want to get higher. My back has a voice, - keep cranking! Higher Higher!
