Aluminum Racing Jack worth it?

Does anyone have and use this floor jack? If so, how is it? It's $170 on Ebay. I plan on getting slicks, so I'll need to change my wheels at the track. Thanks!

Too much... $159 from Harbor Freight for colors and $149 for silver.

you can buy it at Harbor Freight for 149.. but there was a floor jack review done recently and it didnt get great marks, but it will do the job and its light...

Do you have a link?

I have the HF jack and while it is far from a $400 NASCAR jack, it is very light and seems to work just fine.

We have 4 of these jacks at my shop and in my race trailor. They work great for the money they cost and have lasted this whole racing season only bad thing is that they tip over real easy.

I have one and like it. I started to order another one but it appeared (at the time) that you can't order online at Harbor Freight anymore. Maybe go to their retail outlets?
