Wonder if that 1.5 ton hydrolic floor jack would be worth the beans?

My friend bought one for his 3 wheeled can am spyder. It's nice, just smaller than a conventional floor jack. I have the 3 ton. It's nice.

The aluminum 1.5 ton is a great jack. I caught mine for $49 a year ago.

I already have a Craftsman 3 ton.

I think it can be worthwhile IF you are building a tool collection from scratch and don't mind waiting months to save $10-20 maybe $40 a few times during the year. Or if you support a crew of idiots who lose/destroy tools so you buy items 5 at a time. Otherwise - just use 20% coupons on everything and save a lot of aggravation waiting for the item you want to appear in the ITC list.

My next major purchase is 3 of the 44" tool cabinets as in above posts. The discount coupons are not valid for tool boxes, cabinets etc. so, hoping I might get a better deal with the ITC. They are $390 each unless a "super coupon" comes out.

Oh, current HF ITC offer is $45 for 2 years and $10 gift card.

You might ask an experienced clerk whether those tool cabinets ever appear in the ITC mailer. If they do that would make ITC very worthwhile if you aren't in a hurry.

Anyone have experience with HF Inside Track Club? Are there enough savings to be a benefit? They are offering 2 years for $44 now.

Now that there's a HF store less than 5 miles from my house, I go in often and see very good prices on ITC items on the shelves. I don't know whether these prices appear on line or not.

I think those shelf ITC prices are also shown in the ITC extra pages inside the monthly mailer, and in email.

I've had their aluminum jack for maybe five years with zero problems. It's my go-to jack. No leaks and easy to move around. I only use the steel jacks for ag equipment now. The aluminum jack is one of their better products and I'm surprised it's built so well.

I'm considering a couple of their 44" tool drawers. Anyone with good or bad experience with them?
Roller Cabinet - 44" Red Rolling Tool Cabinet w/ 13 Drawers
I'm think of installing 2-3 of them side by side, one wall of shop, with a work surface on top to time together. Remove side handles so they can be pushed together.
Something like this.
