Yeah, I want one of those lifts due to a bad back. I went on Harbor Freight's website a week and a half ago and now it's not even shown or listed anymore! Anyone know if they stopped selling them???

Last time I was in one of the stores they had both for the floor jacks still for sale. You might just need to go into the store and look.

They still sell them. Hell, there's a coupon right now for the little yellow one for $59.

No, I am after the full-size platform lift that they normally sold for $499, but usually always a coupon somewhere in the cycle mags for $299. I checked their website again today and it's still not there.

I think this is what you are looking for they just don't have a picture of it.

I use an J&S stand for both jack and stand. Best $$ spent.

Well, looks like that answers it. Looks like they have discontinued their $499.00 lift and replaced it with a new lower-rated one for $599.00! The old one was rated higher at 1,500 lbs.!

Northern Tools carries some lifts too but they are priced well over what you would pay at Harbor. Problem is you get what you pay for. A friend had one of the Harbor lifts and said it was ok but had to make some upgrades to it for it to be safe to his liking.
