I didn't order the gold jack, but it's what Harbor Freight sent.

Default Don't work under that jack

We've had a few fail on us here. They are prettu much worthless imho. I know others have had zero issues. use it for jacking up only. If you need to work under the car make sure you use jack stands.

Default That pretty much goes for any jack.

With these in particular, what sort of failures have you seen? I've seen many complain about the mount pad cracking, and others have suggested centering the weight through the center of the pad to avoid cracking that surface.

Default If anyone figures out a way to use that jack to lift the front and fit a stand under the car

without interfering with the jack please let me know. The thing is just too big. I can't figure out how to do it.
