Default Harbor Freight 3 ton floor jack

I'm going to get this floor jack for myself and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on it that have one or have used it. Thanks.

Thanks. I've only seen good reviews on the jack.

ARicci since you work there would I get a better deal on it now or should I wait until after the holidays? Also, I see people selling a coupon for the jack that will only cost you $59 at HF on ebay. How can I get one of these coupons for free?..or are they free coupons

Don't pay for the coupons. There's always deals on those jacks all year around, but if you have a store close by stop in and sign up for their mailing list (free) and that's how you get them. Like I said though they always run sales on jacks but $80 is definitely one of the lower prices I've seen for it.

Just go on HF web page, they usually have a 20% off coupon that you can download

The fine print on the 20% off coupon is it's not valid on floor jacks.

I got the 3 ton jack for only $59.99. Here is a coupon you can print up and get it for the same price.

@matt

i have it, not the 1k lb though, i bought the cheapest (450lb?) stand, i also bought my engine crane/lift from there. they all work good expect the stand didnt come with the bolts required to support the engine, also dont expect to flip the engine over while fully assembled, i did it and couldnt get it turned back over because of the weight and friction. worked fine for the block.
