    The Harbor Freight Aluminums are good value.

    Ours has lasted for years now. Though it is mostly used for track only weekends.

    I've had my Harbor Freight jack for 6 years and never had an issue. Haul it to the track and use it at home on various vehicles. My only complaint is that it won't lift my Superduty

    +3 for Harbor Freight. My 3ton regularly lifts a 94 Suburban 4 years old and still going strong.

    I've had a Sears aluminum jack for several years and can't say enough good things about it. They are well built and on sale regularly.

    I've had two Sears Aluminum jacks, Jeff has had one, and they have all failed miserably at their intended purpose. In fact, the second POS Sears aluminum jack is still in my garage. Come and take it away, free to any home. I think they work fine if you leave them in the box. Take one for a SCCA race weekend and she's a goner.

    +whatever on the Harbour Freight ally jacks. I have one and it still kicking after six years. The Sears jacks failed within a few months.

    I just found the extra seal kit that actually came with the jack when I bought it. Now I have to figure out how to take it appart and see if that will fix it. I would still like to have a light weight aluminum jack to take to the track. This one isn't exactly light.
