The nearest Harbour Freight is 100 miles. Do they take orders over the net? Or do you have to go to the store for this to be valid?

Where did you find this coupon, so I can print it out? I looked on harbor freights website, and it shows it for $79.99. Thanks Jason

This is the jack that has caused so many injuries. Looks like harbor freight is getting rid of their inventoryon this item. I was specifiaclly told to stay away from this jack by a friend that works for Harbor freight. This jack has had many quailty issues. Ive seen post about the saddle cracking, valves leaking etc.

Well, there's a lifetime warranty with it, so if anything happens, just take it back! When I jack a car up, I always put blocks under the middle of the frame, just in case the jack gives away! You just never know, whether it being a $600 jack or a $60 jack!

It always good to take precautions, but why buy something that you already know is defective - just to save a buck?
Dam I got a real good low profile jack for $110 dollars. I figure the jack will last about 20 years so that is what $5.50 per year. this jack will last about 10 years so that is $8.00 per year.
Now don't get me wrong if I can get a good deal on something that is equal in quality dam well I will buy it. I dont care about names just quality and reliablity.
just my .02

I agree wicked weasel! Just because it has a name brand doesn't mean it's the best! Most of the time you are paying for the name! I however, had not heard any bad news of this jack as of right now, not that they are great, but I always take safety precautions no matter the expense!
Maybe we can get some feedback of the ones who have this jack. Jason

go in the store and compare these jacks, they have several models of aluminum jacks and I thought this one was built very cheap.
I passed on it.
IMO Better to spend a little more.

That a great price, but sounds like this jack may have problems. I'll stick with my Craftsman jack for now.
