HF gave me $21.57 back and I bought a new pair from Walmart, +/- $30. They look identical. They also look like another pair that I have had for +/-30 years. All of them are made in China.
+1 on the Liftbars. I bought a pair a couple of years ago and still glad I did. As much as I like Esco's, you need the yoke of the HF style for the Liftbars to work. They feel very solid in use. Like the Esco's, it takes some back and forth to get it up to full height.
My take away is to check the yoke cast pieces for quality. They should look like a sharp saw blade. If the edges are damaged or look like a poor casting, replace them. Also check the cog that they catch on. It should swing freely and have a sharp edge to it also. I also keep my jack, wheels, stacks of wood under the car as back up.
