Harbor Freight vs Pro Eagle

That is what I ended up using, sucks knowing I could have gotten the 25% but when. It is done

 

Would you happen to have that coupon still and if I can use it for my B-day today? (Yesterday, July 7th, realistically lol) it is transferable I think since it has a barcode

 

It is annoying that they just raised the price on the jack to 319 by me. Used to be 299. Might have to just take the plunge with the 20% who knows when I will get a 25%

 

Also freaking annoying they sell a jack that needs hydraulic fluid before you can use it. Had everything all set up in the garage to work and put the jack together and it does not jack up my truck. I just bought this one because the last one failed and would not lift it. I had to move everything to get my truck out to get the fluid. Too pissed to work when I got home, finish tomorrow

 

Sucks yours came minus fluid, glad mine did. It’s just brake fluid at least.

 

Mine had fluid, I just had to bleed it. I probably should top it off though.

 

It had fluid but not full and needed to be bled. Got the fluid yesterday after I cleaned up the garage I just prepared to work in. The wife was at work and the fluid was too far out of Golf Cart range... Oh well

 

Nice 20% is good enough to not wait endlessly on a 25% coupon.

Edit. Such horseshit, they raised the price of the jack by 20 bucks

 

Well I bled the Jack today and it lifts the truck now but my wife coming running out to the garage because the dogs were at the door barking like crazy. She yelled what is wrong and I said nothing, just my squeaky new Jack. It is bad. I also have a click each time it jacks and was wondering what it was. The universal joint pops each time you Jack it so that just does not seem right to me. Here is a video. WARNING: Tired dude jacking and videoing with only 2 hands

Mine definitely doesn't sound like that.

 

Don't mess around with a piece of safety equipment. Take it back for exchange.

 

Yea go exchange for a new one, mine doesn't make that sound either.

 

I've been keeping my jack inside my husky toolbox. It definitely helped me to deal with the TWO flats I got running some trails a few weeks ago. Definitely a lot easier than using a tiny, OEM bottle jack or a high lift.

I had been using it pretty extensively in the driveway, but I can say this jack performs well on the trail now, too.

 

Nice! I got my order placed for pick up on Tuesday or Wednesday. What trail were you on for this? Looking at going this weekend after a long week shit show of work.

 

This was on coney flats, or as I now call it… “Coney Double Flats”.

 

At least the kids were entertained lol.

 

HF lets your bonus bucks stack if you don't use them:

 

I picked up a replacement jack today. That freaking squeaking is TERRIBLE and I cannot get the dogs to shut up while I use it. Then the popping universal joint when jacking was making the experience not worth it.

I will try this one more time and see if it is better

 

I just picked up the jack today. Coupon is good through tomorrow 9/17

 

You got updates? I'm curious if the QC was any better your 2nd pick up

 

I went to a different store because the store that asked me where my jack was when I gave them the receipt found out "after" i drug it into the store that they had none on hand. The other store had 8 and the manager asked what the problem was. I told them I could demonstrate so I did and they tested the jack I was getting before I took it. I took the third one, the first two squeaked like mine did

 

Yeah sounded like a QC issue. Hopefully they can get in touch with the manufacturer and send defective units back

 

$299 was the original price before the increase to $319 lol.

I used a 15% off coupon to nab it for around $250.

 

Yep..I snagged mine at 20 or 25%.....I can't remember due to old age lol.

 

Due to the popularity, I doubt we ever see another one of those puppies again

 

Apparently I lucked out when I used my 25% off coupon when it was still $299. . That was several months ago...

 

Anyone have their Badland leak? One of mine leaked onto the garage floor. I put some cardboard under it but I still need to see where it was coming from.

 

My Daytona 3 ton long reach low profile leaks out of the cylinders under the handle, I made the mistake of lending it to a friend and it’s leaked ever since

from a teardown video I’ve watched it’s just an o-ring in that spring/cylinder and should be replaceable which *should* stop my leak

 

great thread ..... Picking one up as soon as I get a kupuon......
