Sears racing jack is better quality and effort to lift.

Default i also thought it was quite a bit more.

i already have a small cheap jack, i was just looking to get another one.
i do remember seeing the one you're talking about when i was at SEARS looking at tools the other week. i'll swing by there on my way to harbor freight and look at it again.

Default It is a better jack for sure but it takes about the same amount...

of jacking effort as the HF one. I also had to add jack oil to it even though it was brand new.

Default so is the HF one that bad? everyone was jonesin about it back in the day!

WTF!?
and of course, i'd much rather spend $90 on a jack vs $200

just to make sure, you are talking about <a href="http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?vertical=TOOL&pid=00950239000&bidsite=& BV_UseBVCookie=Yes">this</a> jack from sears, right?
i was going to head over there anyway to buy some tools. the 10% off ends tomorrow.
