Harbor Freight vs Pro Eagle

Looks like Pro Eagle might have some serious competition especially since, IMO, HF jacks are one of their few quality items.

 

Gonna look out for some of the no restrictions coupons

 

$299 vs $599….

 

That's awesome! I bought my friend a Pro Eagle for his birthday in August because I couldn't find any wheel conversions for his HF 3 ton jack, and the Pro Eagle is honestly a POS. It's slower to jack, has no speed pump, doesn't hold pressure, etc. All I want is a Daytona floor jack with big tires, and the Pro Eagle objectively as a jack is worse in every performance metric than a Daytona for half the price. Maybe we can return the $600 pro eagle and buy two of those Badlands jacks.

 

And, the handle lock would be a nice feature.

 

Was planning on doing the DIY HF off-road jack, but the fact that this one has wheels and a skid plate makes it a done deal for me

 

Except when they were recalled that one time.

 

The jacks or the jack stands?

 

Just their jack stands. I personally wouldn’t crawl underneath a vehicle with their jack stands. But their jacks are fine for lifting the vehicle. Just don’t crawl underneath it..

 

I don’t trust any jack stands. If it is on a stand then I make sure there is a jack attached in case something goes south

 

Same here. I'm not fond of the idea of being crushed beneath my truck.

 

Get better stands

 

That's going to make it into quite a few tundra owner's Christmas list.

 

Got rake?

 

I am a rake!

 

matchy matchy

 

Great option. Some of their items are great quality like the icon tool line being one of them. No complaints on the torque wrench. I'll be getting this jack once it's available.

 

I heard you were a master in the raking arts as of recently

 

Maybe

 

I have no complaints about the General tool chests either. And, I used to buy their flap discs and cut off wheels.

 

I’ve been very happy with my HF Daytona floor jack, especially for $130. I’ll be interested to see the reviews on this one.

 

Their lift cart is up there with one of my best purchases. Makes lifting the bumper with winch a breeze and allows me to move my top toolchest without having to empty it. Slide it onto the cart, slide onto the tailgate. Also nice to be able to work on things off of the floor of the garage and be able to walk around them 360*


Edit: yeeesh, she’s sideways. But you get the point

 

ProEagle is one of the best offroad jacks around. I've used mine a ton and it's never let me down. They are also really good about handling warranty claims (on the rare occasion it is necessary to use the warranty).

That said I have a 25% off HF coupon burning a hole in my email inbox.

 

Where are you people getting 25% off coupons. I’m a member there and buy a ton a stuff, yet my email rarely gets hit with the 25% offs

 

You have to stop shopping there for a while lol

 

make them want your money....classic...

 

I love my Pro Eagle too. Until now there was nothing else truly worth carrying in the truck. That said, for $300 I was planning to get a Badland HF jack anyhow to keep in the shop. But, ended up winning another 3 ton Pro Eagle last weekend.

 

I'll buy the Pro Eagle so you'll have the money for when the HF jack comes out
