Does anyone have the JEGS racing jack?

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/752655/10002/-1

They have this one on sale for $119.00. I looked at the $79.00 H.F. aluminum jack and it looked like a toy to me. The H.F. rapid lift aluminum jack looked much better, but it is $134.00. I am interested in the Jegs racing jack but it doesn't list the dimensions.

we have used two of the $139 HF jacks for years
and they have worked fine for us.

I am on the 3000 HF bangwagon...put jack oil in it once since they first came out....great product and right weight for an old man.

The Harbor Freight(134.00) and the Jegs jacks appear ro be the same as far as weight, lift height, The Jegs has an "exclusive 4 pump lift" vrs 6 for harbor freight plus it is on sale not sure how much freight might add to cost for either jack. unless you have an HF store near you. TW

I have a Jegs aluminum 1-1/2 ton, I think I paid $179 for it and I LOVE it! It's about 2+ years old now and it is so light I carry it around most the time instead of dragging it.
There have been numerous threads about jacks on here and the sandbox and the general consensus is that the $ears crapsman is $hit. I agree, had one,(not aluminum) it died. The HF is hit and miss, some last years.

EDIT: at $119 the Jegs would be a steal

Got one of the Jegs "On Sale" jacks. put it next to our HF jack and the Jegs seems to be a better jack (IMHO) frame seems stronger 4 pumps to full extend, the lift pad is is square and seems to be more stable The handle is larger diamater and its colorfull. They list a 2 ton but that is 189. for a 40 bucks more you can have 2 of the "on Sale ones" The Harbor Freight has served well for 4 years the only failure was the lower part of handle that turns the Valve rounded out so replaced that for 30.00 took 8 weeks to get but was off season so didn't matter. We will be at Pocono this weekend so if you like stop by and compare the 2 side by side. Should be in Garage 22 or 23. T Weaver

Stay away from the Torin/Big Red 1.5 ton aluminum racing jack. They come in red or blue and are the biggest POS. I have gone through 2 and neither one lasted more than a year. It won't even pump anymore, just like the last one.

They look like this [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Torin-Aluminum-Race-Single-Piston/dp/B0007XRFD0[/ame]

I had gotten mine at PepBoys.

[andrew240z]

just bought this jack at HF on sale for $149.99

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92782

extra 20% off for buying the extended warranty, 3 year full warranty for 150.00 not a bad deal. normally would never buy the warranty but I think its a good move on one of these. if it fails they will give me a new one....
