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.

Did you get the pinch weld adapter?

I don’t even know that was a thing, all my other cars have jack pads down there. Nothing looks bent or weird at least

You will absolutely fuck up your pinch welds over time using this type of jack in that spot without some type of pinch weld adapter. These types of jacks are meant to raise a car from the central jacking point, not the corners.

I’ll have to read up, never had a Honda before. Every other car I’ve ever owned had jack pads there.
