Harbor Freight floor jack
Had a fairly new 3 ton floor jack I bought at Harbor Freight for $49 with coupon. While doing my shocks several weeks a go the jack jammed up on me and I could not turn the handle to release the pressure. Front end of the truck was up in the air and I could not get the jack to lower. Luckily I had a smaller jack that I used to raise the truck a tad to get the other jack out.
Never could get the old floor jack to unjam. Even though it is most likely out of warranty (have had about a year), thought I would stop by today and see if Harbor Freight would work with me on it. They could not do a even swap (90 day warranty). But if I bought a new jack and bought the 2 year replacement plan they would then swap the old for a new. So, got a new 3 ton Rapid pump floor jack for $20.00. Cost of the replacement plan.
And now have the replacement plan in case this one quits working. The guy sort of let me in on a little secret. Lot of shops/places will buy their stuff at HF, get the replacement plan and then every 2 years bring in the old and get new.
