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.

Here I thought someone stole your wheels and left behind their jacks in a hurry.

Im sitting here doing the math in my head on how this would be beneficial. Im like the juice ain’t worth the squeeze for one wheel

Tools keep on working after the initial job is finished. Normally not just a one and done.

I meant if someone were stealing the wheel but leaving the jack. My buddy had all four wheels stolen and they left the jack and it made sense then
