HF finally has a coupon for theirs bringing it down to $130 (Still their most expensive jack)

The HF one has a foot pedal. The design are so similar, I'd say they're built in the same factory.

HF has a T-handle too, which makes dragging around the shop a lot easier. There's a knob to lower too, instead of twisting the handle.

I picked the HF over the Arcan, no regrets.

Man I'm leaning towards the HF one

Current coupon expires on Monday

What's the coupon?

I waited patiently for about 6 months for a coupon, in the end I was putting off work for the sake of $20-30 so I just bit the bullet. Seemed like they knew they had a good product and weren't willing to budge on it (despite the other 2.5-3 ton jacks being cut down to half the price of the XL low profile).

The last coupon I saw was from December 2013.

Its currently on sale for $139.99 the coupon takes it down to 129.99

I've got the old orange featureless version of that HF jack. LOVE IT! Works perfect Zero complaints.

Only initial problem was it released pressure almost instantly when you twist the handle when I first bought it, but after breaking it in, it got much much better.

I'd definitely spend extra money though for something like those with a quick pump feature.

i have the HF jack, i love it. i use it for my 95 f350 diesel dually, and my Cr-v. thing is great.. it does struggle a little with the heavy truck, but it does lift it..
