How can this floor jack be so cheap?

That Jack Cross Beam looks very cool. How well does it work with a FiST?

Yeah if you want your car to Tip

That looks like Harbor Frieghts one and half tone that sells for $59 on sale. You do realize thats straight out of the Factory in China click on their contact it goes to an address in China.
All those jacks the Arcan and the Harbor Freights come out of the same factory. That is just someone backdooring the Arcan lol. It’s well known that if you don’t have strong binding contract with the Chinese they will back door the stuff they are making for you.

Thats why you have to own the factory and write strict binding contracts.
Hell my friend told me about how Siemens came to Shanghei years ago signed a loose contract with the Chinese to manufacture for them for 10 years. Then the Chinese kicked Siemens out of the factory after 10 years because the contract was too loose and started making the product themselves lol.
Its totally the wild west of manufacturing over there.

I’m curious if anyone who bought this jack back then is still using it. Has it held up over time, or did any issues come up after repeated use? I’ve been looking for a solid budget option, but I also don’t want to end up with something that fails after a few uses.

A lot of cheap jacks cut corners on materials and build quality. Some work fine for light use, but the durability and safety can be questionable. I’d double-check reviews and weight ratings.

Just because something is sold on AMAZON doesn't mean it's the low price. Two examples ..

I was looking at Video Cards a while back. From the manufacturer it was $XXX.XX but from Amazon it was 1.5 (XXX.XX)..

Last week I was looking at grow lights (for my tomatoes). At Lowe's it was $40. I double checked Amazon. Same light $84.

Same thing with Costco. Just because they sell it doesn't make it the lowest price.
