Agreed, HB has helped the budget minded, if your careful what you buy. I have a retail store 10 minutes away (lucky me) so shipping costs for stuff not stocked isn't an issue either.

The problem with this jack is the lift height...IMHO we are better off paying the extra hundred bucks and getting the extension we need to put the car on jack stands, plus the cool colors. :+)

I have this jack at my home, and we have 4 more of them here at the dealership I work at. For the price it works great, it fit under my race Miata, and my lowered Mustang without issues.

+986 on this jack. I have three of them. One at home in the garage, one in my shop and a third under the rear seat of my truck.

Well worth the money. They'll slide underneath my Boxsters and they'll easily lift my 3/4 ton 4x4 Chevy 2500HD.
