Default I completely forgot about that post!

When I saw the "sale ad" on harbor freight, it didn't even ring a bell that Frank had posted about that earlier. My memory is fading... :-(

Default Yes.

I don't feel like lugging a 60 pound jack around at track events all the time. I've got enough crap to cart with me as it is.

Default AWE uses those exact jacks and they are pretty damn sweet.

You would be so surprised how easy it is to swing that lighter jack around. Also is has a lower profile to get it under a lowered car easier. How many times have you had to get someone to lift you car so you can get a jack under it? Also the jack has handles on the sides of the main body so you can position it while you are on the ground. I give it 4 stars.
