I have gone to Home Gods with my wife more times than I can actually sleep through.  But today, she came with me to Harbor Freight in Manchester, NH.  She's amazing.  She was more interested in that than I was in HG.  So now, we call HF the Home Goods for Guys.  
Thing is, my floor jack died.  I did fix it by bleeding the hydraulics, but it was an excuse to realize it never fit under the cross member or differential of my TR3A.  Found a Pittsburgh low-profile jack (that I haven't tried yet, but measurements are positive).  So excited!
I've previously had to use a scrapped Toyota's scissor jack to hand-screw up enough to accommodate a floor jack, then re-jack with a floor jack.  Reverse the procedure to get the car back onto the floor.  Oh, I cannot wait!

So question.  HB Pittsburgh floor jacks seem "okay" for the price.  Thoughts?
