track jack on sale

HF has a 3 days special sale starting today. The baby AL floor jack is for $49.95 so get it while you can. It does not work well on rough concrete if you do the 2x4 trick on the side skirt.





Since I am going to get an aluminium open trailer soon I invested in one.

I have this jack and it has worked very well for several years. One of the HF "diamonds in the rough".

Just don't drag the poor toy AL casters on rough pavement or else is a ground AL beef on the rough.

I also recommend it, although at a higher cost.

Sweet, I've had my eye on this for a while, but haven't seen it below 59.99.

strong buy

I bought 2. This jack does not work well in my rough outdoor concrete driveway to jack Desire up at the side skirt. It does not walk on rough pavements because of the small diameter roller and toy casters. But I want it as a spare jack and for track use.

I gifted one to my neighbour who often lent me a hand when my pit crew is short handed. He was pleasantly surprised.
