Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[bigtiller]

I have a HF low profile racing jack 2T that had served me well for a decade. Took the wheels off and mounted it on a skid plate for better off road usability. It survived thousands of miles and many uses on off road trips. Recently had some issues. Will repair it if/when I get the time. Went to buy a replacement and discovered that what HF labels as a 2T Jack is what they formerly called the 1.5T. Bought what is now labeled 2.5T and it is exactly the same size as the old 2T. Won't complain if it holds up like the first one. It saw a lot of abuse. Would highly recommend skid plate for off road use. Jack works in sand or mud almost as well as on pavement. Very handy around the property as well as on trails/tracks.

That sounds like a good idea. What did you use for a skid plate?

Have yet to roast one of the Bauer 20 volt cordless tools but I've switched to the 5AH batteries as the small ones don't last very long. My only complaint is the chargers take forever to recharge a battery.

Almost necessitates an extra battery pack or 2 to keep going.

I ordered it from an off road fabrication company on the west coast. It's been a while but if I can find a link I'll share it. They made skid plates as well as quick release mechanism to attach to chase rack in truck bed.

Thanks…I can use it!
Funny how it’s called a stocking stuffer but valid Dec 17-19. Santa Claus come and leaves early in the world of new HF marketing.

At that price, that is something HF should sell for about $40
