My Ride: 545I and a half dozen other rides
Unfortunately the $49.95 HF jack I had for 10 ten years took a dump. After doing some research I decided to get a aluminum jack....
That did not happen either.
A little harder effort wise to pump the jack up, and a lot heavier but I think the other features compensate.
longer reach
foot pump
and less than 3 inch height when down.
Lets see if it lasts 10 years.

Looks a lot easier to pull around and pump up with that handle. How much and where did you get that jack from Allen? Harbor freight also?

That looks like this one on Amazon http://www.amazon.co...m=AF8EGQ3KRZQB6. The shipping on there is ridiculous tho.

This one I got is a bit longer.

If I have a chance later I will have another side by side pic to my old HF unit. This unit has a foot pedal, a T handle, and a knob for finer control over the lowering of the jack,

I wanted to get that jack too Allen, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I ordered the larger 4 ton jack instead. It's also fast pump, and so far has worked out really well.
