Harbor Freight - $1349.99 W/Coupon

[joey1320]

Not sure if this should be in this subforum but I would like the most amount of members to see it. If you're looking for a scissor lift, with the current 25% off coupon, you can get the Central Hydraulics one for $1349.99 as opposed to $1799.99. This is before tax and shipping but still a phenomenal deal.

I've owned this lift for over 8 years and it has been great. Don't have any complaints about it.

Can a moderator change the title to "Harbor Freight Scissor Lift - $1349.99 W/Coupon"?
Not sure how I missed it.

I was fortunate to have bought it when it was $1,499 regular price 8 years ago and was able to use the 25% coupon then. Great little lift.

This is funny, I was just wondering to myself the other day whether or not HF still sells this lift.

I too have had this lift for 6 years and have used it a bunch. It's really, really beefy.

I have had two problems with it:

1) The hydraulic fluid tank randomly developed a crack and leaked fluid all over the garage floor out of the blue. I fixed the tank with a plastic welder but even that was sort of annoying to have to do. You can order a new one from HF but it was something absolutely ridiculous as far as a shipping time, something like four or five months if I remember correctly.

2) The actual switch started to get finicky eventually and I replaced it with one from HD.

I figured this thing would be a bit cheaper still. When I bought, I think it was right at $1200 (Christmas sale). Then I was able to double up with a coupon, AND at the time my Discover card was doing some promo with Harbor Freight (cash back) so I got this thing for something like ~$800 all said and done - just an incredible deal.

Building ramps for it is pretty much a given though unless you're only dealing with trucks/SUVs/etc.

Nice price with the coupon. Has anyone used it with an air-cooled classic beetle/bug? It would make my life a lot easier with the 67 beetle.

Well ****, that's exactly what I use it for.

Currently a 1984 Puma GTC is sitting on it. Just got done with an engine reseal on a '66 Bug. My '71 Super spent last summer on it

It works perfectly for them, specially with the engine in the back.

I use my Chinese no-name lift (7 years now) for Classic Minis - they only weigh 1300lbs so I figure that's a big safety margin!

I have had the wife's Allroad on there too and it works a treat!

This was one of the best things I ever bought for my shop.....saves my back every day I use it.

Cool! thanks!

I forgot HF has a credit card now. Wonder if they offer 0% for a limited amount of time.

They give you an additional 10% off your first purchase, ENTIRE purchase, when you open the CC.

So doing that would bring this down to $1,170

Been looking at this also for VW and other cars. Just can’t believe there’s two Pumas in Ohio

Ohhhhh now I'm intrigued.
Do you own one or know of someone else who does?

Looks like it could tip over on a windy day

Pics of some VW-based cars I've collected. None should strain that lift.

I thought about that mid rise lift a lot for my 67. I ended up not buying it. I think I will get a 4 post that I can just raise up, park the 67 underneath normally and not have to deal with any clearance issues.
