My jack broke today and I need to get another. Someone posted a pic of a very low profile hydraulic jack and I like to take a look at it.

Oh, pic and prices if possible...
TIA

Default Have you used a jack from Harbor Freight?

Do they work well? How is the build quality?

Default I have one

Works great. I did have to go over a couple bolts with some loctite as they loosened up after a few weeks. Otherwise it's been rock solid.

Default The jacks

The AC is much heaiver, ard 60 lbs I think and the barbour frieght one is ard 37ish

The AC is much better made...I use the AC one for home use. And now the HB one is reserved for track days. AC feels more firm, rolls ard smoother...the Alu wheels and dollys on the HB aint great.

For 200 bucks, I cant complain about the HB. Though I dont know if I would keep using it...

Another point...if you like to go far deep.
I use the rear diff to jack my track car. The centre of the AC is much lower than the HB one. Just a point if you like to go deeper than jacking points...<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/fong/carsusasingapore/tools_and_such/">http://public.fotki.com/fong/carsusasingapore/tools_and_such/</a</li></ul>

Default i have it. actually used it tonight. works great

and heed the 3000 lbs. capacity warning, ie. don't try to jack up a GMC yukon with it and you'll be fine.
