Joined the Harbor Freight bandwagon
After reading all the posts about the HF lift table I decided to get one myself and life just got so much easier. I realize they are made in China,they pump up manually and they are narrow but here's the kicker. $370.00 total investment and it does everything I need it to do but I didn't pay 5 times as much. If I had the money some of you guys have,yes I would have spent more to get the quality product. I am a working man with a truck payment and a mortgage and live alone. This lift will be used about a dozen times a year and it can easily be moved. Best of all,I don't need to drag out the old piece of cardboard to lay on the floor and work on my back anymore. IMO,the best deal out there by far and I trust it completely to hold my machine up in the air. I thank the members for their input and advice on this product.

BE SURE!!!! you bleed your lift and add jack hydraulic fluid to it... i did not know this till about 3 months ago when mine started to not go all the way to the top... i called HF and spoke to them as the others we have work out great, then explained that all new lifts need filled and bled, sure enough every one of the lifts we have from them was about 1/4 of the way low, and even our direct lift was...
to do this remove the inspection cover on the rear part of the lift (same one you do for rear tire changes) you will see a rubber cap on the side of the jack, pull that out, from here feed in JACK hydraulic fluid (i used an oil can like seen below) once it reaches the top, pump the jack up about 10 or so times, drop it back down and repeat till it is flowing out... wipe it up and replace that cap... my lifts have never worked better!

Interesting, I have had mine for almost 7 years and have never had a problem with the jack.
