I bought it a week ago and it's nice. The blue anodized aluminum looks cool too. It's much stronger and safer than my other floor jack. I thought the compact floor jack was going to break when I tried using it.

Those considering this jack

I have a version of that one as well, I think the aluminum Craftsman version they have now is better made quality-wise, IMHO.

No, they have two versions...I bought one for my dad and it was almost two 'c' notes (it was the pricier one of the two) on sale - Wait for Christmas though to purchase.

I was going to say.... the craftsman one is around 200 if i remember correctly. I always crack up how people buy "quality" tools when they only use them 5 times a year. If you make a living using the tools then by all means buy matco, snap-on, etc. The stuff I don't beat to death I buy from HF. THe stuff I need quality on due to repeat usage, then I spend the money. For example, I spent 400 dollars on a dewault drill with extra batteries etc.... I beat the crap out of that thing on practically every project..... it still works like new. But, my sanders, mider saw, etc, I buy from HF because I use them on sparse projects.

BTW... my HF jack has worked fine for past few years...... I think i got my money's worth out of it. I got mine for 49.99 back then.......
