Is it basically same as the 3-ton aluminum jack at Harbor Freight typically for under $200? Anybody have experience with both to offer a comparison?

The reason I didn't buy the harbor freight one is because a buddy had a 3 ton aluminum from them and it buckled while holding his gas burning 3/4 ton. I've lifted my 2007 diesel 1 ton with this one and it worked great. In this case, I really think you get what you pay for.

I bought the one at Harbor Freight and its ok as with most of there stuff but this jack is by far much nicer. Rolls smooth, jacks well and seems to be built a lot better.

Similar, but not the same. Harbor freight one is a good jack, and a good buy.Arcan isn't cheap, but a really great jack.

I buy a lot of tools and other equipment from Harbor Freight and even though I no longer live near enough to a store to check out their jack, I can't imagine that theirs is as nice as this one. I'm really happy with my Arcan and recommend it if you are buying a "keeper" that is going to get used more than just once in a while.

The quality if this compressor is much higher than anything I've ever seen from Harbor Freight.

When I bought this jack almost 3 years ago, I bought because of the specs...Didn't know what it was and didn't care about the warranty...The product was more than what I had really expected and turnedout to be the best floor jack I've ever owned in the 45+ years I have been workingon automobiles...I use this jack nearly every day outside in the dirt, but mind you I keep it cleanand lubricated...bottom line...Don't worry about the warranty on this jack, It will outlive it by far.

It is 151# If you have a Harbor Freight near you, they have what looks to be the identical trailer for $229 until 3/1

I too was debating over the 500lb or 750lb model for my Husqvarna, so I called MoJack and was told to figure 1/3rd of the total weight as these jacks are designed to lift only the front wheels, not the complete mowing unit. I was able to go with the 500lb unit as my mower is just under 900lbs total. And this jack works like a charm. Great investment.

definitely not a harbor freight model. used it to butcher my last deer. worked great. if you have it shipped, make sure you open the box and check the unit inside. the Styrofoam is lacking thickness on the motor(heavy) end. it took me two units to make one good one. the table rolls on bearings....really smooth.the fluid management is a removeable drip tray under blade wheel inside motor cabinet.

These types of jacks are more for supporting an object's weight, as opposed to lifting. A pair would support 7000 pounds, but I doubt you could lift that weight without destroying the jack.

The jack has really good control for lowering vehicle. I really like this jack... I have a Allied 3-Ton I don't even use anymore.

I don't recall the details, but this is a Harbor Freight product, so you might check their website. I'm sure they must sell the same tool there. I'm guessing there's some warranty but it's probably limited. Almost everything Harbor freight sells is imported and this tool is no exception. It's made in Taiwan. Most of the items from Taiwan are certainly good enough for the price, but it's not a top-of-the-line product as might be expected by the "Pittsburgh" name which is a bit misleading. I like the one I have, but I use it very, very infrequently.

I believe the size is called SD.it definitely doesn`t take all sizes.Check out harbor freight they have the different sizes and a jack like this butmo re expensive.

It is the bigger one of the bunch. 3/4 hose I guess as I ground mine down & made it fit another project as they were cheaply made as the hole was out of round-not forged correctly, so I ended up getting a 3 set at Harbor Freight-small-med-large. They have Pittsburgh and they were much better quality and I never did think much of their tools either as I was a Mac and Snap on guy before I retired so quality was and still is my thing. Tekton told me they'd send me another but didn't happen. Pittsburgh - Item#37909 is for the 3 set from Harbor for $14.99 + 6.99 freight. Sometimes it is free. 3/8 in., 1/2 in., 3/4 in. are the three sizes and are 11-1/4 in. reach. I hope this helps it is all true.

Sorry, Joe - don't know the gauge but I can tell you the same sized heavy-duty tool box was about $100 cheaper at Home Depot, which surprised me. I can also tell you that the amount and weight of tools we put into the box is incredible. Wherever you purchase the box, be sure to buy 4 casters for it. Once loaded, it ain't gonna move without a fork lift!!!

China: But still a good jack it lefts my 2500 Ram Diesel without any problems where other 3 ton jacks could not.

I'm not an engineer, so I can't directly answer that question. My travel trailer is between 3000 and 3500 # (depending on the load) and the jack lifts and supports the wheel. If I need to lift it several inches it can take a while to crank it by hand, but it does a fine job getting the trailer level. I have recently tried using an impact drill to raise the jack (because this type of drill does not twist your wrist) but there were some problems with that approach. The jack-screw started to show signs of metel shavings which might mean I am near the limit of the jack's weight load. That said - I would buy another one of these if this one breaks. If you get one you might also want to buy a large pizza-delivery bag to store it in. Works perfect.

WellHi. Well, I have never weighed it, but it's obviously not as light as an aluminum jack. The only time I've lifted it was when I moved it to my shop. I'm guessing it's probably around 80 lbs. My old 35 year old one was much beefier and that one weighed 122 lbs. So, 80 lbs, maybe a little more is my best guess. Been a good jack so far, though. Lifts the back end of my Case 1840 Skidsteer. Good luck!!

I do not know. Sorry. Great jack for the price. Not sure if you can find one cheaper and it works great.

Two jacks in the package and a real good jack crank.The quality was much better than the jack that came with my camper ...Joe
