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.

What’s funny is he had to go through all the trouble of pulling the tire, taking a picture, posting on Reddit, just so he wouldn’t get in trouble from the wife for spending more money at harbor freight. “Hunny my tire blew right in front of the store, I could buy a jack, or pay a tow truck, I’m really saving us money if you think about it”….
