I was interested in that jack, then I picked up this jack at Costco for the same money

Reviews seem good
just be aware, you won't find any bad reviews on HF's website. This is not because all their products are gleaming examples of technological perfection, it's because they systematically moderate reviews and delete any bad ones.

I have seen a few negative responses, but not many. I always had it in my mind that they did that though.

I have left some negative reviews (as well as some good ones) and they are still on their website.

I don't have that jack, but I do however have this jack, but in the 2 ton version...

http://www.harborfreight.com/rapid-pump-15-ton-compact-aluminum-racing-jack-68053-html-7814.html


I used to have the 1.5 ton version, and it worked great as well, until I stupidly decided to jack up my blazer (Too heavy for the weight limit) on a soft asphalt driveway, the caster sank in, and broke... The jack still lifted the vehicle no problem. The only reason I replaced it after 7 years, was because it was in the trunk of my car when my car was stolen...

I got the 2 ton version for $80 on Fathers day last year (Plus a coupon)...

I race (Autocross) with alot of people, and most people that change their tires for slicks, use this jack...

Then you haven't looked at many - there are several items with a majority of crappy reviews.
What was I thinking, I'm sure HF must be as honest as the day is long. Carry on then, I'm sure you'll enjoy your Chinese technological perfection!

Their deletion of negative reviews is well known. Believe what you choose.

The pad will fit the jack just fine. I have one on the regular orange jack they sell and has held up well.

I have that jack, and I love it. I have had it for over a year, and it has never failed me. Works good on lowered cars. I prefer it any day over the craftsman jack I have. I paid like $46 or something, at the time I brought with an online ad, and they let me use the 20% off on top of that. Ben

I have the HF 3 ton floor jack / boat anchor, best jack I've ever had, but damn it's heavy/cumbersome if you need to put it in a trunk.

Only complaint I've got with it is that occasionally the gear that the handle turns (the one to let the vehicle down) will get stuck & I have to use a screwdriver & hammer to convince it to start turning again.

As far as their other jacks go... My friend has the 1.5 ton aluminum racing jack and he loves it. Super light, Super low price. Only problem with his actual one is the casters loosened up and let loose.:)
