I am very hesitant to get under anything that is being held up by a harbor freight product. I had a 1 ton Ford almost land on me after a harbor freight jack failed.

How do you like that lift? I was a HF the other day and almost pulled the trigger on it for $99.99, but wasn't sure how reliable it was under loading.

I bought it used from a buddy and the cylinder needs purged because its a foot pump and takes a few pumps to get it as high as I have it in the pic.
I just got it so I cant say much about it other than when the time comes it sure will make it nice working on my brakes and tires and just about anything other than changing oil.
I get flyers from HB every week and the last one I have shows it to normally cost 349 dollars where they have it on sale right now for 269 dollars.
This is the 1000lb capacity lift and if you can get one for 100 bux, Id snap it up!

I'm a pretty strong old man and I just tip it upsidedown and pour the oil out of the fill hole.
