Harbor Freight tools thread.

I got my front wheels about an inch off the ground and still had room to lift. My suspension is stock though.

 

It depends. I don’t have a garage, so any time I have to work on the truck I have to carry the jack out. The grey ones are like 30lbs lighter so for me this was better.

If I had a garage and never had to lift the jack, I’d get a Daytona.

With that said, I can still work on my truck very comfortably with it. Jacking from the diff or the front skid plate it lifts it plenty high.

 

I just picked up the HF 20 Ton air/hydro bottle jack for my HF 20 Ton press so that I don’t get a major arm workout/fatigue from pumping the manual bottle jack so many times while dimpling fill plates for customers sliders. Did a set this week using it and the fill plates got dimpled soooo much quicker. 36 total holes were not fun to dimple before. Now it’s a breeze

 

Those look sexy

 

Thanks man! I apprecite it

 

I’m waiting, but those never seem to go on sale, and coupons can’t touch them!

 

@SR-71A @EatSleepTacos , I have that same one but I bought the adjustable crossbar and it gives me another 4 inches.

 

For an other $20 (plus shipping) you could get the Pro Eagle extension and adapter base pad.
Far cheaper here than directly through pro eagle BTW.

I have two floor jacks and bought a flange pad for each and one extension to use on either. Slight modification was needed to get the flange pad to fit, but otherwise works like a charm.

 

Agreed but I like the option to have two separate points to level or spread out the weight load. Its adjustable both up/down and close/far apart.

 

That's true. I actually have the aluminum HF motorcycle jack and it's invaluable for installing skid plates and sliders for that reason. Actually just used it yesterday to reinstall and align my front bumper.

 

Can I use a 20% off coupon on a Pittsburgh jack that is already marked down from $99 to $79?

 

No, in the fine print it says it can’t be used on jacks.

 

I grabbed that one last year when it was on a rare sale. Killer tool.

 

Yeah dude!! It’s so great. Makes things soooo much easier.

 

In the process of having a shop built and need to buy some cheap’ish tools.
Is this hose reel worth a shit?

 

Been going for a decade or more now in my garage.
Hose has been cracked at the working end and its replacement has also been sitting in the garage for a couple years now waiting for it to blow.

 

Replacement sounds like a mistress

 

Need a recommendation for a grease gun if HF offers one that won't leak everywhere. Time to hit the driveshaft. THX

 

Leakage has more to do with what grease you put in the gun. Theres a joke in there somewhere..

Look up the oil separation value from the manufacturer of your grease. An example below from a common manufacturer
