    I've had that jack for a few years now and love it. I've never had to bleed it either. I also have the large aluminum jack and have to bleed it all the time....I wish it were as reliable as the small one.

    I just cashed in my coupon for the jack and got some other small stuff. I went ahead and got the 2 yr warranty on the jack because it will be used outside 99.9% of the time.

    I've got my eye on the compressor too but it will have to wait until next paycheck...and I haven't even figured out what to use the 20% coupon on yet.

    I think I'll break the new offen the jack by using it to put on my new C1Ms on my Miata.

    I picked up one of the jacks as well. Special bonus - the warranty was only $9.99 instead of $19.99 with the coupon, and it's an in-store replacement. Seals go out? Pick up a new jack. And it's still the same price with warranty as the American Rifleman coupon without warranty

    I picked up the creeper, but two Harbor Freights so far have not had the jack in stock I have the rainchecks to prove it, I will persevere

    If you pre-shop on the web site, print out he items you want or make note of the prices.

    I had 3 things on my list that were lower on the web than in the store. The cashier asked if I had a printout but didn't make any fuss over lowering the prices and I just had a list of P/N, description and price. It saved me about $7.

    I went to Harbor Freight yesterday and the coupon did exactly what it was supposed to do: I bought the jack, plus a bunch of other stuff, as well.

    I didn't feel too good about myself, though. I felt like I was actually shopping in China. In fact, I would have bought a small anvil (or an ASO) as I've always wanted one, but they had "CHINA" cast into the front in inch high letters.

    Yeah, I sprung for the warranty too. I had a virtually identical jack go out in January after only about 5 weeks of use. Figured it was cheap insurance.

    Harbor Freight is targeting ME. I subscribe to 3 magazines: GRM, American Rifleman and Shotgun News. There's a friggin' HF coupon ad in ALL OF THEM!!!! AHHHH, I can't stand it... They're after me!!!

    I did use a 20% coupon on my generator 200 amp transfer switch box. I'd a bought it even without the coupon, as HF is still about half what you can find the things for anywhere else.

    Harbor freight is like a toy store for motorheads like myself who are cheap Never been but seeing the ad made me go check it out... I like it. Didn't buy the jack yet but i'm moving in two weeks and don't wanna drag any more E36 M3.

    Having to prove an internet price at Harbor Freight was finally an excuse to use my web capable phone! Ended up proving a price for another customer in line as well.
