Saturday I stopped at Harbor freight and saw they had a coupon for the 1500lb jack ($40 off so it's $59). I mentioned it to my wife (thought about getting 2 to use when washing our bikes) and she told me that I should get a more expensive "better" jack.
I was considering a J&S, (guessing I could save on shipping because I have relatives in the area) or Larin MAL2C (lowest lowered height).
I already have a lift table, so not sure how much major work I'd do on the jack.

Now I know what your thinking, why post this in the general B.S. section.
Well I caught a lot of crap for listening to my wife in the "biker name" post.
(that and jack threads are pretty much the same old B.S. anyway).

Do I listen to her this time?

 

It sounds like she has a lot to offer. You are going cheap and she tells you to get a good one. i wish my wife would offer up suggestions like that.

 

What no FLAMIN fur pj
u guys is slpin

 

She's your wife. Proceed with discrestion and hone up on your reflexes

 

If I were you,I'd do it.Keepimg them women happy is worth every bit of effort it takes.Have to say,starting out with a jack,then stepping up to a table,pretty much makes the jack a dust collector.All my washings happen with bikes on kickstand.

 

Your wife is obviously a woman of intelligence and taste. Go with the J&S and tell her "thank you."

If the money is no issue, I'd be inclined to go with a better jack.

 

If you listen and heed her advice now, she will expect you to do it from now on.. I don't think it will be worth it in the long run.. go and buy the jack you hunted down and killed at a discount and drag it home..
