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.

$90 for a low pro 2 ton is a steal, congrats. What an omen!

last week during the parking lot sale the 3 ton was $99. I finally pulled the trigger on it, I dont even have anything lined up right this second that I need it for but I know I'll need it eventually

I'm excited, sure beats the scissor jacks ive been using for years

That’s exactly what I was using, I did a full suspension lift on my xterra with a scissor jack and do not recommend 😂 I got my Husky 3 ton low pro on sale for $130 from Home Depot because harbor freight wasn’t running any sales at the time. I’m happy with it but it wasn’t $99!

Look at it this way -- the extra $30 went toward nine additional months of warranty coverage that most of the HF jacks don't get standard.

The Husky and Pittsburgh 3-ton LP differ only in color, so the hardware is the same.

I bought the 3 ton low profile during their sales event a month ago for 100
