No,but I'm looking at the same lift. My shop should be built by monday. A shopping spree at Harbor freight is in the plans.

Modest shop of 14 by 24 with room to add on.

A shop warming party is planned. No gifts, just bring empty belly for beer and food.

I know HArbor Frieght's hand tools (power) aren't worth the dynamite it would take to blow them to hell. But I had a buddy get a trialor from there and it held up. I think this ramp would hold up.

Two sides to every tool. I know Snap on addicts who shop there.



Also know guys who do not know their way around a wrench swear the stuff is junk.


Just have too remember their stuff is meant for the weekend warrior. Will not hold up to the oilfield salt encrusted bolts, impact set at warp speed.

I agree, the tools I bought would have been fine for a weekend here and there. But at the time I was working the tools day to day. I will take a pair of Milwalkie (however you spell it) metal shears over harber frieght anyday. My milwalkie one's went under salt water when RIta hit, and the fookers still work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have their tire changer. It is a bit crude in terms of design but it is ruggedly built and ain't gonna break.

I bought the 1500 lb model, and it has worked fine the few times I have used it to lift my 600 lb Polaris 4-wheeler.

Brian I'd just go to HF and put your hands on it... some of their stuff feels solid and some just feels cheezy... you can usually tell beforehand... (grab the thing and shake it a bit see how sturdy it is... if it feels flimsy RUN!!)

Hey Juice, I was in H.F. on Sherwood yesterday afternoon. They have that lift on display in the back right hand corner of the store. It looked pretty well buillt. I am going to pick me one up. I would have bought it yesterday if I would have been in my truck.
