Not that same jack, but an aluminum HF jack.
Operates fine, lowering control is good.
Some bolts did vibrate out and had to be reinstalled and properly tightened.
Has to be bled periodically or will not pump to max height.
Makes creaking, groaning noises when lifting heavy cars.

For the price, I can live with the problems.

Anyone have any experience with this jack that is on sale at HF.

Quality, operation, control, etc.
