This is a new harbor freight 2 ton floor jack, normally costs 30 bucks. Ok for lifting sedans, not anything taller.

Put the jack under the lower A-arm from the front of the vehicle and it should lift it quite nicely. Then use a jack stand under the point your were originally lifting from for safety. The same thing goes for lifting the rear. Hope this helps! Take care, G.

I've seen these in the UK (re-badged China 2 ton) for £13 -£17 at the least. This vid made me curious. I've got a better old one I've had for years but, I was wondering they should be fine for motorcycles should anyone need one for little jobs like chain adjustments, to get the rear wheel off the ground. For that would make a decent spare. I would get an axle stand underneath it as fast as possible though on that SUV!

I think the downvotes are the clickbait title and the shaky camera. But actually this is very good information for youngsters (or anyone) looking to buy their first diy garage tools. Sure I know now, but I once bought larger jack stands thinking only that they'd be safer - only to find that the jack I already owned wouldn't lift the car high enough to even slide the new stands under. So when you're just starting out these things might not be so obvious. As you say these jacks can still have their uses.

If having to remove a tire, most often you should lift the vehicle under the control arm ( I own 4x4 trucks and so the jack goes under the rear or front axle) so the tire almost instantly starts to raise off of the ground once you started pumping the jack. If you lift the vehicle under it's body, this will most often just lift the body up while the suspension/axle/tire will just keep relaxing down thus doesn't lift off of the ground or will only lift very little off of the ground

The jack is OK, while it works, ... you just need to buy one that goes up enough for the height of the vehicle you plan to used it on. The piece of wood would do the job for around a 2" extra lift. Regardless the above, beware: I had this same jack and used it about 10 times. Worked fine until the last time, when one of the metal supports (arms) that hold it up just twisted and the car dropped! So, I am sad to say that this item is quite dangerous.

You want to return it and buy a bottle jack?

You're probably better off buying a 3 ton floor jack with a larger lift range, or buying that bottle jack in addition to this trolley jack.

I know the average weight of a 6 cyl pickup is about 3k pounds. At 4k pounds (prob actually around 3800 max) it seems like a 2 ton jack would be able to lift most rears or fronts of most pick ups / SUVS. I'm wondering how these cheaper jacks hold up against older manufactured japanese or american jacks. Have these cheaper jacks from harbor freight broken down on you after 10 or more uses?

@@Aziz-wl1xf >Though it's too small to lift the entire front of my car without 4in of wood. Found this out the hard way. And it's not necessarily the jack's fault. I shopped around and I question just how many budget jacks have enough max height to get the tires off the ground when lifting the car from the front. Sure, some go up a bit higher, but it'd have to be at least 2in higher (this jack goes up to 13in). I'm also reading around that it's generally good practice to use a block of wood so the weight is distributed and it's more stable, along with the fact that it reduces scraping the metal on both the vehicle and the jack. With that said, finding a 1ft 4x4 piece of wood, when you need it, sucks ass. If you don't have the block of wood, an electric saw (or even a hand saw), expect to pay $20.
@Aziz-wl1xf
@Aziz-wl1xf 5 күн бұрын
@@AlexTechie I came up with a good solution over time. The main reason I was lifting from the front was to put jack stands under the lateral jack points. What I later discovered was that I can jack up the car by the subframe bolts and still have plenty of room to place jack stands under the pinch welds. The added benefit is that the subframe bolt is lower relative to the pinch weld on my car so I can jack it up quite high. Prior to this, I was using 2 half-foot 2in blocks stacked on top of each other, they were easy to find at HomeDepot where they even cut it for you for free. As far as alternative jacks, there are plenty that lift much higher than this one, for example Harbor Freight's "DAYTONA 3 Ton Long-Reach Low-Profile Professional Floor Jack with RAPID PUMP", which lifts up to 24.25in. There are also cheaper ones that lift up to about 18in. I'd buy one without thinking twice if I had space to store it. Sure, they are all in the $150-300 range vs. the measly $35, but you get what you pay for and that's really not a big amount compared to what you save doing your own work.

hey buddy! thanks for watching. I still have this jack and use it quite frequently, it's been perfect. Anyway, I don't own any real SUVs or trucks. All my cars weight less than 2 tons. Plus when you jack up the car you're not lifting the entire weight, at most you're putting up 25% of the jacks capacity anyway.

hey man, you could be correct, I was on the safe side. BTW I still own this jack and it has not broken at all, I use it a few times a year. I've learned that on a taller car/truck you need to jack up under the suspension arm, then it works fine. thanks!

$100 buys you a 2 ton jack of 3 feet long having a lever of another 3 feet. With an arm that raises your wheels half a meter up in the air. Why use a tiny $15 2 ton jack?

I just bought the exact same thing here in Canada, only rebranded Husky. Exactly the same in all aspects including the really low price. If you look on Amazon, there are a dozen different brands selling exactly the same thing in different colors for $40. All these are made at the same place in China. Tell you something: your spare jack that come inside you car trunk, is safer that all these utter horrible floor jacks. Never use one of these $40 floor jacks other than for the occasional flat tire on the side of the road and even then - never get any body part under a car supported by these absolute and dangerous junks. It's not a problem with the Pittsburgh brand - they have other amazing floor jacks and tools, it's the problem with the industry how is putting on the market these very very low cost products. If you ever buy car parts (suspension, bushings, tie rods, etc) you already know that the market is flooded with $5 car parts that last from a few days to at best 2 months. That's what's happening with the market today: all companies are selling very very low quality parts at incredible low prices that have absolutely no durability and quality to them - why ? - simply because unfortunately there are buyers for these, so who says buyers says profits.

For better operation, it's suggested you always bleed it so there won't be any air inside it and it'll lift easier. Those trolley jacks are mostly meant for smaller and lower cars, I don't know why they claimed it can tow light trucks. I have this trolley jack on my small car and the 3 ton heavy duty on the trucks and works great.
