Just a PSA if anyone is interested. One of the select items at harbor freight worth getting is the 1-1/2 ton jack. And it's currently on sale for $60 with coupon.

Thank you,
Nabíl

PSA part 2: If you're going to Harbor Freight, check out the free coupons for stuff like the free multi-meters. Yes they're a piece of junk, but we can use them for classes and other projects, i.e. you can use one for a volt meter.

PSA part 3: Jacks are for lifting not holding. Harbor Freight jacks do a good job of lifting but don't trust your life to any jack for holding. I would take some recommendations on good stands for holding.

Yes, always use jack stands.

I have a set of jack stands I was going to donate to the space for the garage area.

We can also make some blocks out of the PLA beams they sell at lumber yards. I wanted some for myself anyway.
