I have a harbor freight farm jack. it works ok but i would much rather have a HI lift. if you put the 2 side by side you can tell the difference. put your $30.00 towards a Hi lift if you want quality. But like said above you will hardly use it unless your in a lot of mud. and if your like me every time you need it you won't have it with you!

if it wasn't double the price sure i could justify the price difference but until hi-lift's prices come down.... made in china i stay.

-Erik <--- has also had horrible luck with made in china power tools

Now I see the temptation. I bought mine here in WI at Farm & Fleet 45.00 for the 48" flavor. At the time I was buying the HF jack was 35.00. I've used the hell out of it but only twice for the Jeep.

well...i was at tractor supply and they had both the hi-lift and a "farm" jack. the farm jack was rated at more pounds and was about half the price at 29.99....these jacks are made to lift houses and such....im pretty sure they will lift a little jeep off the ground just fine.

ive used the hell out of the HF farm jack, it has been used even more by others i ride with and/or people i pass on the trail that have broken. The handle works just as well for a tie rod as the hi-lift version.

Eriks right about the thing rusting fast though.

i use the harbor freight farm jack weekly for lifting signs out of the ground and love it. we have a sign company and one of my builers uses 4x8 signs on 4x4 posts 30" in the ground. i just throw the jack under them and jack them straight outta the ground. if i had to trust a jack to pull out my jeep or not let my jeep fall on me i would think the 30 bucks is nothing to pay for the peace of mind.(even if it is just paying for the name).
