Modding Harbor Freight Jack

Just thought I would post this to help anyone who was the harbor freight jack. I don't have one, and so I haven't done this mod. So if you have any questions you should ask the guy who posted the video. Enjoy.

I'll be doing this too. I was just using the jack yesterday and my only fear is how fast it drops back down. Always hold bars when raising and lowering. Thanks.

Great idea. Good job.

I have a Harbor Freight jack, but it is totally different. In fact it has to be pumped up by handle not foot. It works fine with dyna frame adapters though.
