Hey guy! Recently I found myself in need of buying a new low profile floor jack after lowering my car. In this video I provide a brief review of the jack I found along with a demonstration of the Jackpoint Jackstands which I have been using for the last couple of years. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like about them or the jack.

I like it. Harbor Freight has its purposes sometimes. The only issue I have had w their jacks in past is they loose their hydraulic seal after years. Probably due to limited use bc like you I do t use them often. Where did you get the jack stands and the Puck system. That is slick.

I just happened to run across this thread and even though it's old I thought I'd answer. The problem I've had with my floor jacks has been solved with bleeding and/or adding hydraulic fluid (or changing it completely). I have a couple of Pittsburgh Racing (Harbor Freight) Low-Profile jacks that I've brought back to 100% using the maint notes below.Pcarnut wrote: Thu Nov 17, 2022 7:18 pm I like it.

Also, the jack stands mentioned in the post you asked about are Jackpoint Jackstands:

Guess it might have been easier and smarter for me to just include the owner's manual for the Pittsburgh floor jacks...
