Harbor Freight electric tongue jack.......
Does anyone have any experience with the electric tongue jack sold at Harbor Freight? It seems like such a cheap price so I wonder about the quality. Thanks

I have a HF belt sander in my rod shop that has been in use since 1995, runs almost daily and never a problem. We also bought several air tools and a automatic paint gun cleaner. Only thing that ever failed was the gun cleaner and they replaced the whole unit free. I have never had problems other than that one and we are hard on tools.rhagfo wrote:
I use Harbor Freight for tools that I may need once or a couple times. Their hydraulic jacks are no better or worse than others, not sure about the tongue jack, worst that could happen is would quit working.
x2. I will not buy anything from HF that is powered or has moving parts that I want to use more than once. Their handtools/wrenches/screwdrivers are good enough to put in the truck tool box or to put together a tool box for occasional use.- 2 Years with my refurb Ultrafab 3502. Love it!

No, but you can purchase an UltraFab 3500 factory reconditioned jack for about $100 on e bay with a factory warranty and the company stands behind their product as good as any other long after the warranty expires.
How long have you had yours? Thanks- I use one that I bought at a friends recommendation, so far so good on my 3K trailer. His failed pretty quickly on his 8k trailer. Draw your own conclusions but I do suggest buying the warranty if you decide to buy one.
