HF Pittsburgh 2 Ton Compact Trolly Jack

Does any one have any experience with these or know if they’re any good?

Looks like the same trolley jack you get at Autozone, WalMart, etc. I bought one to support the lower control arms when I replaced them on my Grand Prix. It worked okay for that.

Jacks like that won't last long lifting 2 tons. Buy at least 2x the jack you expect to need, and it may last. So, don't lift more than 1000# with that one, and you'll be happier.

You ask if it's any good - that's a workable jack for an occasional weekend warrior, but if you're frequently fixing cars or trucks, it won't last and the short handle will get annoying.

I keep a jack like that in the car. The short handle isn't ideal but it sure beats a scissor jack at midnight when you have a flat tire. I wouldn't use one as my general shop jack though. Step up to a larger, more stable platform if that's your intended use.

i had one , DON'T buy this one. HF makes better jacks than this. With the proper coupon you can get a MUCH better jack for not that much more.

Disposable jack. I have kept one in every car for years. ( up to four at one time)

I care so little about them they usually go with the car.
