Default Anybody have any experience with this?

Saw this jack advertised on ebay. Anyone have any experience with this? Price seems right, almost too good. Wouldn't want to drop my Iron Mistress.

It looks like the one I have from sears. If so the price is to high and the shipping is nuts. Also if you have a Harbour Freight look there. I have no problem with mine.

Looks ok but a bit over priced.
Out of all the jack threads I've seen in here, the Harbor Freight jack seems to get the most praise:

Other than the color, looks just like mine from Harbor Freight, usually on sale for about $80, no shipping required. I really don't understand the fear that some people have about these discount jacks. If used properly, like by engaging the mechanical lock, your bike could sit on one of these securely for an indefinate time. The only one I would consider spending the extra for has a closed height of 2.5", compared to the cheapies at about 4.5"

I was going to post the same link but IAMSWUTIAMS beat me to it. I think if you call Northern tool and request a catalog you may get a coupon code or discount on your first purchase...may be worth checking into.
