[@DeathTollRacing]

They are!

[@dbo52]

Wheels are designed to be thin as well for true off road use. Wheels are supposed to sink in the ground and the belly pan bottoms out giving you a very large and stable surface.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Good point!

[@AdBul_]

That desing would be horrible. Jack like that needs to move in when jacking up, so the thing you are jacking will not slide off the lifting pad.

[@denimjez]

​@@AdBul_ your absolutely correct. The lifting motion isn't straight up and down. So be jack sinking into terrain would be a horrible design, and unsafe. Why not have removable wheels if that was, in fact, how this was designed? I don't think that's the intention of the design. It's likely the OPs attempt at trying to make sense of the wheels.

[@Jank42O]

​@denimjez Have you ever jacked something up on gravel? Your jack will sink regardless & it will still work. Believe it or not, your 3ton jack is capable of pushing itself through the dirt even after the wheels sink.

[@dbo52]

@denimjez not trying to make sense of anything. I'm just quoting what the manufacturer says it's designed to do. Also yes these will slide back and forth just like a regular 3 ton jack in the mud. It's not complicated lol

[@razordu30]

In case anyone is wondering, it's $319 (as of October 20, 2023). I was searching the comments for the price and couldn't find it.

[@Joseph-wp2ry]

Thank you for finding the price. I remember when a nice craftsman jack was $99. However, from the looks of this jack, it has certainly evolved. The problem with Harbor Fake, is that much of their products are beautiful knockoffs that just don’t last. At least Craftsman had 🤷🏿‍♂️ life time warranty 🤷🏿‍♂️; which begs the question - who’s life, mine or Sears. Oops 😬. Lol 😂

[@HE-162]

@@GreenJeep1998 I recall reading an article where the son was discussing his goal of providing quality tools for the working class, and that they were purchasing factories/setting up in house production in order to have tighter control over quality. It’s not like harbor freight hasn’t been sourcing many of their tools from the same manufacturers as other brand names. Even when HF was synonymous with total junk, that wasn’t wholly deserved. They’ve always made power tools that worked pretty damn well, their hand tools have always been pretty decent, obviously there have always been a bunch of junk too, but HF tools have never been as bad as their reputation. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re spot on, and we will one day see them as the next craftsman/sears. Their icon tools are already as good as any of the tool truck brands, so it may just be a matter of shedding their past reputation.

I was in the middle of a project once and my belt sander broke. The drive belt snapped. It was going a couple of weeks before I could get a new one with shipping. So I ran out to harbor freight and picked up one for 20 bucks thinking if it breaks I don't care. As long as it lasts for the project. Well that thing is still going strong 10 years later.

There are some stands that have "feet" welded to the bottom of the legs. They were not necessarily designed initially for use in soft soil/gravel areas.

I remember 20 years ago I would regularly shatter sockets from HF and the cordless tools were a joke. They have significantly improved the tools they sell. Some stuff is still garbage, but a lot of it is pretty competitive now.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Everything there is getting better for sure.

Brother in law has this. Great jack. I was skeptical of the wheels. It was able to jack my wife's f350. He bought it for his SxS. So, it should hold up decently with any off-road vehicle. I give it 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DeathTollRacing]

Right on!

[@-16-wrx-]

Agreed. They still sell some "I'm gonna use this once" tools. But I've been impressed with their quality lately.

[@TheShockedboy]

I have a gravel driveway, so I picked this up for when not working in the shop. Has definitely performed well, no issues thus far.

[@fredjacobs]

Been using one since they came out, totally awesome! Best jack yet, works great.

[@DeathTollRacing]

I really like it. I got it for outside, but I use it on everything it’ll fit under now even inside

[@holeshot1721]

I have owned this for a year now receiving it as last years birthday present and its a beast of a jack! Rolls over all the debris ither jacks normally get stuck on! For f sake i can actually take the jack outside on a dirt driveway! Now i have all heavy duty trucks and when i first got the jack it use to seep so make sure you using your jackstands! Now the seeping has either stopped or its working properly or im not relying on it as much anymore. The extra stand that goes on the end of jack is an awsome feature. This is a very rugged and reliable jack! Very very strong 💪 i still use two 3 tons jacks to lift the front end of my diesels but it could def do one side easy and if you have to it can do it all on its own. But here is the kicker!! Its so good that when you jack it up make sure your vehicle is wheel chucked cause it will roll away if you lift the wheels that have the parking brake!! Love the jack two thumbs up

As a person who often works in the backyard, this would be very handy for me. Pushing and pulling a floor jack with the steel wheels through grass is a pain in the ass.

[@DeathTollRacing]

They are great for exactly that.

[@user-wp5xq4jm9h]

I can say that jack made short work jacking up my f350 to do wheel bearings. It's worth every penny and can be mounted in the bed of your truck. I know my stock jack can't lift my truck unless i put wooden blocks to raise it up first. It's easy to move around, lift with the handle, etc.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Awesome!

CAT and Pro Eagle both have this jack with the same composite wheels. They are not a weak spot at all. Each wheel can hold the max jack weight independently so having 4 of them makes them very stout.

[@chadconway927]

I own 2 of them, they are worth the buck. Ive had a ton of yardsale jacks over the years..id trade them all for one of these

[@nwjeepin888]

I have this jack I have lifted up 1 ton diesel on and off-road. Even can lift up my stock neon. I would buy it again no problem

[@loduke3905]

That Jack goes on sale quite often with their ITC membership. Usually 50 to 80 bucks off.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Good to know! I actually want to get another one so I don’t have remember to pack it

[@802Garage]

I have been wondering why nobody makes a jack with big rubber wheels for ages. Even for use on loose surface driveways. Glad it finally happened.

[@jaydenkeane4367]

It really depends on the brand harbor freight workers have said Daytona jack are bombproof Hercules power tools are almost never broken while Bauer comes back frequently

[@donatonigro]

I bought one to take my transmission out after my regular jack broke. It surpasses every other jack in every way. The big wheels are actually crucial because it rolls a slight bit as you lift the jack because the arm travels in an arc.. my old jack would skip on the jack point, leaving me to wonder if it was all going to come crashing down. The extended height is also a nice simple solution to what we all need for obvious reasons. The locking handle is so that it is easily wheeled around and with one arm you can lift either the front or rear wheels for quick and easy steering to get around things and into position. Best purchase I've made in a long time.. this one's not getting left outside. It's an entirely different category of jack that the others don't even compete with.. do yourselves all a favor and get one!

[@DeathTollRacing]

You forgot that it can run over a zip tie!

[@jhershy1381]

Its awesome. My brother has it. Its great. I have one of their high lift daytona jacks and gonna get this also

[@josephalfonsi8022]

I have an older jack from harbor freight and it's held up really well. And it's a fast lift . I'm happy with some of their products!

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

If you ride on 35's or bigger and offroad, this jack is a must. I also have a Dayton jack from Harbor Freight. Outstanding jacks.

[@DeathTollRacing]

Agreed

[@rsz90182]

I have the original Craftsman aluminum jack. I have used for 25 plus years.

[@BloodNuke76]

i bought one and i love it. lifted the entire front end of my dually... from one frame rail

[@DeathTollRacing]

Right on
