100% identical to mine down to the color. Mine is faded paint though from sitting outside. Kinda looks a little more pink now. :

this one aint goin anywhere im always needing to pick crap up around here and it all folds up and dont take up much room at all.

Yeah, I mainly sold mine due to space constraints. I hope to pick another one up later on when I get a place with more space

You shouldn't have turned around and you'd still have it !!!


I've had mine for over 15 years. The jack finally petered out last month. I got a new jack at HF for $49.99, but used a 20% off coupon so it was fairly cheap. I also stepped up to the 8 ton jack instead of the 3 ton. So instead of the 1 ton rating, it now has a 2 ton rating.

Its not on sale now. Bummer !!! But here it is. If you ever need a jack. http://www.harborfreight.com/8-ton-super-heavy-duty-long-ram-hydraulic-round-bottom-jack-36397.html

Nawww, giving you **** !!! And its working too I see.

I know what you mean about space. That's why mine sat outside in the backyard and now turned a pinkish gay looking color.

Worst that could have happened in a flood is got water in the jack and rusted the ram. Go to HF and just get a new jack.

You wanna buy mine??? Its kinda cute and pink???

And BTW, not trying to muddy up the thread, but staying on topic of hoists at hand for the moment, but I have used my hoist for so many things, I can't be wo one now. I use it to load and lift beds off trucks and cabs, rear ends from CL buys or sells, ATV jack, seperated a tractor once with the rear hanging from the hoist, and the front on a floor jack to install a dual clutch, I even used it to pull out broken fence posts in concrete. It sucks digging out broken fence posts in concrete. So the trick is, use a chain around the concrete portion with very little digging, then lift straight up choking the concrete with the hoist and you have a nice clean hole (shutup Retro) to put your fence post and new concrete in without having to rebury the dirt. I won't be without one, ever, even if it does have to sit in the backyard, WITH THE RAM fully inside the bottle with oil so it don't rust. Always be sure to lower the jack to lowest possible height for storage purpose, especially outside.

It can be pink and purple...As long as it functions.

Apparently mine was carried off and hit a tree.

Ahh I get it. So you no longer actually one or its badly damaged. I tell you what, mine has been backed over, and fallen out of of he back of the truck at 30mph on a sharp curve, and its still tickin !!! Of course I think the fall out of the truck is what did the jack in, cuz it the ram was totally fully pulled to its limits, and I am sure it was the plastic base or packing in the cylinder that kept it from comming all the way out.
