�
�
This is a notice to all you racer folks out there who need a good light-weight low saddle height race jack for a good deal. A lot of people bring these to autox, track events, etc since they are so easily portable. some of you may remember that this item used to sell over $200 when they first debutted, however over time they have some down significantly. Well, Harbor Freight is having a blowout sale at $89.99, which when used with an online coupon brings the price down to $84.99.

Enter item number:
91039-1ada
Add it to you cart along with anything else you want. Since orders over $40 have free shipping, standard shipping is free. Its not very expediant shipping, but it will eventually arrive. ;) Then, at checkout, there is a coupon button.
enter in coupon number:
#421-712-578
This coupon will give an additional $5.00 off, a free cheapo knife set (yay! :lol: ) and guranteed free shipping. However, HF likes to charge about $5.00 "handling" fee, so this coupon will sort of cancel out that fee. Thats all.
Some specs:
3000 LB. CAPACITY LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM RACING JACK
High performance aluminum racing jack lifts 3000 lbs. to a maximum height of 15-1/8''. Requires only 1/2 turn to release. Constructed for professional racing teams out of precision-machined, high strength, aircraft aluminum billet. Specially designed 4-5/8'' wide, low profile, single front roller wheel for quick and accurate placement where you need it. Low profile 3'' minimum saddle height comes with 360� rotating rubber pad to prevent marring
Minimum saddle height: 3''
Maximum saddle height: 15-1/8''
Handle overall length: 23''
Two piece knurled aluminum handle prevents slipping
Overall dimensions: 20-1/2" L x 9-3/8" W x 8" H

Never trust your life to a Harbor Freight tool. They're cheap for a reason. Aluminum race jacks they've sold in the past have been prone to having casters fold. They change manufacturers more often than I change underwear, so that may or may not still be a concern.
Make sure you have jackstands.

That is an absolute must, regardless of wether you have a HF jack or a Lincoln. Jacks themselves are *no* substitute for jack stands--no way, no how, no where.

These jacks are great for the money, but we did find this weekend at Sno*Drift that they don't work so well below 20 degrees!

Does anyone know what the warranty on this is?
I believe these are slightly different than the original $200 aluminum jacks. (which may be a good thing)
I bought one when they were 200, and it failed in about 6 months. Now it wont support any weight, just goes back down after pumping up.

Harbor sources much in China. I have a warehouse nearby and I'll try and take a look at them this week and get back. More than likely $85 is what they are worth with H.F. making about 30% GP.

I had that problem until I bled the pump, It's been trouble free for 8 months.

The hydraulic unit is defective.

That's not the same jack that used to be $200. It's light weight, but it's not a quick-pump jack. They're selling those for around $140.

I have one of the former $200 ones, love it so far.

Screw that, they want to charge me sales tax. That runs it up to close to $100.

I've had one of these for about 10 months and its pretty good. Of course, I paid $139 for it. :furious:

I asked the same thing before, and I was told..."you aren't lifting the whole car at once, so yes it would be ok" We have this jack in our race trailer, and the only problem we had was with the detachable handle. All I did was drill it out and put a bolt in it.

Right, It is certainly not the same identical jack, however, its a perfectly acceptable substitute. Frankly, i see this jack as being *more* advantageous than the more expensive one. Its the jack that one would want to bring to the track for quick work. Really, the list of features correlates to a list of benefits:
- More compact than its counterpart.
- Extra low saddle height.
- Lower max height, but its not for heavy work and ~2 less inches won't really matter much even if using to put on stands, never mind just lifting the wheels up. (I have a 2.5 ton steel Norco for heavy garage work)
- non-rapid pump = easier to pump.
Of course, your mileage may vary. You may absolutely need that extra 2 inches lift height or the extra 3/4" roller width to justify your purchase, but for me, a jack like this with its features under $100... I couldn't pass it up! :lol:

People that have had these "type" of jacks ($700,$200, $139, $89) have found the design to be faulty and the single wheel at the jacking point rolls over causing the whole jack to roll over...please be careful if you are using this type of jack. The newer design (probably why these are being blown out) has wheels on the outside for more stability.

That happened to our one race in the Paddock once. We had it jacked up from behind, while someone was changing tires and checking brakes, when all of sudden you hear "LOOK OUT" as the car rolled off forward. No body hurt, which is good, and the race car was fine too.

SO.....this would not be a good jack in your guys opinon to use for dirt track applications like mine where the infields we go to race at are 100% dirt and have no real "stable" footing?
We use it for mulitiple uses:
Changing tires
tighting suspension bolts while under the car
And anything else we'd have to get to while in the pits
And DILLIGAF you said your tipped foward and dumped the car?

well it was on grass, and I think it rolled forward. I wouldn't say its the jacks fault, but it did happen to us.
| raventare | 02-10-2004 10:11 AM |
Take the bolt out that holds the "single" wide roller and get a longer grade 10 (metric) bolt that is long enough to bolt on some "outriggers", but they must be strong enough to withstand 4000 lbs...safety factor:D
Anyone using a jack on dirt or grass MUST put a "jacking base" under the jack...1/4" steel 2'x2' would be nice, 3/4"plywood in a pinch:banana:

Mine arrived yesterday! I opted for the rapid pump silver finish $129.99 unit.
It weighs less than half of my Sears 2 1/2 ton jack (which I can barely move it's so bloody heavy).
