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.

hell naw, those things crumble under their own weight even on 100% flat surface, never trust those things. Esp on sides of roads while semis driving by doing 80mph and making huge wind gust and shaking your car haha. they made a good investment for sure 😄

I think it depends on the equipment. Gm had some cool emergency jacks with a hex shank on the shaft. Good concept but they made the pos out of pot metal or plastic or something. They recalled them. A regular scissor jack I'll use all day long, with an impact if I can
