Harbor Freight vs Pro Eagle

How'd ya luck out and win one?

 

Excellent navigating by @GodlessPro. I had the easy job of driving.

 

How do you get a 25% off coupon? I have only seen 20% off so far

 

Don't buy anything for a while

 

I was lucky enough to find one of these jacks a few weeks ago and have used it a few times already. Nice to finally have something that can handle the height of the truck and travel trailer frames.

I have also only seen the 20% off

 

My wife and kids bought me a Badland jack from HF for Christmas. I have a long throw Daytona with steel wheels that I love, but it is insanely loud on my rough surface driveway. If the Badland is as good as I think it will be, I may end up selling the Daytona.

 

I was able to go to HF the other day here in MA. Wasn’t sure how I was going to get it back to CA so the nice manager working at the store gave me a rain check on the 20% off that I can use when I get back to SD. Just order it and have it shipped to the store. Looking forward to it.. although it’ll be a bit heavier than my current 2T setup.

 

Stopped by HF today knowing they didn't have one in stock. The manager let me order one and use the 20% off, plus got another 5% off using my Credit Card through apple pay. I just bought the Daytona Super Duty Jack a couple months ago and didn't really need the Badlands one, but hard to pass up a good deal.

 

I don't need a jack but I did make use of the last day to use the 20% off in-store coupon

 

I thought I saw a company that was going to make a mount for the Bad Lands Jack. Does anyone know the name or have a link?

What a beauty.

 

Thanks, It is a nice mount but a little pricey.

 

I know the mounts are getting close to the jack price

 

I have a couple ideas to make my own mount or box to hold it in my truck.
Once I receive it, I will start working on it.
Possible ideas:
Add on to the box I built already - Basically add a small extension to the back of the box that would hold the jack
Place the jack in the box I built already.
Build a bigger box that will hold the jack and still have room for other gear.

 

They saved my life.

 

My HF 25% off coupon arrived today. I think I'll pick one up just to do a thorough comparison. I need another jack like I need a hole in my head but my guess is the price will soon be going up. Then maybe I can sell it w/o losing too much

 

The badlands is pretty nice. I've seen the ProEagle 3ton and the Badlands side by side, live and in person. Didn't really have a great look to compare, but from what I saw, they are indeed different jacks. It's not just HF going to the same factory and contracting for a private label run. I was looking for a country of origin on both, but couldn't find anything anywhere. I know the HF is made in China and I'm leaning on the ProEagle being made there as well. I feel like the Badlands is lighter as well, but I could be wrong.

 

Another interesting find. It's a big wheel kit for Arcan hybrid 3 ton jacks.

My local hf wouldn’t let me use my 25% off on the jack. The small print has a few exclusions… jacks being one of them. I picked it ip as a late Xmas to myself and I can say I am not disappointed, those that were able to use 25% are getting a steal!

 

Here's a mounting option for the Badland jack:

My 25% off coupon says "No Exclusions"

 

Wonder if it'll do for the Pro Eagle...

 

Diff coupon

 

I feel certain it'd work for the PE and for crawling it's probably fine but I wouldn't trust it for my "style" of driving

 

This is the one I tried to use. The small print includes jacks

 

What's everyone's thought on the cross beam?
I was thinking of picking one up with the 25% off coupon to go with the Daytona Super Duty Jack in the garage.
