harbor freight aluminum jack

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

I got one of those, 

You get use to working with it,  to jack car and have stand put in, I lift
from the edge/body lines by front wheels, and stick the stand at the rear
sway bar mount point, and the rear I jack the rear beam and use similar
point to hold the car up...

Small jacks suck, this can lift you car up high enough on stands that you
can drop an engine/tranny out of the car without a problem, that tell you
how much space there is unde3r the car so there is no having a problem
fitting under the car....

I love mine.

->Back in October or so there was a discussion about aluminum 
->jacks. Several people hinted that they were planning on 
->purchasing one.
->
->Anyway, HF has one on sale ($89):

->My $15.88 wal-mart jack* just took a dump on me (the seal for 
->the master cylinder lifted right out on an up-stroke of the 
->lever, severing itself in the process) so I'm in the market 
->for something that doesn't suck quite so much.
->
->Anybody have one of these? I'm a little concerned by its 
->rather large size.. I wanna make sure that I have enough real 
->estate under the car for the jack and a couple of jackstands 
->as well as my head and whatever I'm working on.
->
->I'd be interesting in hearing any pros or cons..
->
->Thanks

->* = I know, I know. But I'm pretty broke right now. Incidentally, this
->    thing has the worst looking welds I've ever seen on any piece of
->    metal. Not surprising I guess considering that they were 
->probably done
->    by some child slave without eye protection. Viva Wal-Mart! Not.
