[Healeys] harbor freight jacks

[Richard Kahn]

I could not get the open valve to open slowly. It was closed and wide open
with just a slight twist of the valve. Check it out before you get under or
raise the car very high. Maybe they just got a bad batch but go to your local
HF and stand on it and release the valve. My new jack and my cheapy from
Kregan both allow for slow decent.
