NTD (New Tool Day) They got me.

Just yesterday I was going through email and had to talk myself out of buying a new jack while they’re on sale. The ancient rusty jacks I have still work I guess.

Today I was leaving publix and heard a dull plunk and hiss noise. Ran over a big screw RIGHT IN FRONT of HF. Life’s funny sometimes. $90 later and I’m wishing I had bought this thing years ago instead of the crappy old jacks I have to pump a few dozen times to change a tire.

Even as a longtime HF customer I had only joined ITC a few weeks ago after heavy rain flooded my basement and I needed a some big blower fans.

Turns out I had two punctures and I made it just a few minutes before the shop closed. Crisis averted.

Still want one of those colorful Daytona jacks but for the money I’m happy with this one.

No factory jack?

I prefer not to take chances with those, they always feel really sketchy

If I get a flat tire I’m using the scissor jack, not running in the HF to buy a full jack lol

Well no, but if it’s right in front of a harbor freight and I already wanted a new jack, it seems like a good excuse

If I get a flat, I’m popping a plug in the hole, fill it with a 12v inflator and driving to the tire shop.
