Default Harbor Freight Aluminum Lift now 25% OFF = $131.99

Just picked up one of these lifts from Harbor Freight and used the 25% coupon I printed.
At first they said they doubted that the 25% discount coupon covered this lift, but gave it a try and all was good.

I printed a few of these coupons, and they just process each item as a separate transaction and retain the coupon.
The folks behind me asked the teller if he had coupons for them, and the answer was NO - you need to arrive with printed coupons.

You can still find coupons for the $69.99 lift - I had one of these with me, but it was a no brainer after I'd seen the aluminum one.

I hope this isn't like the rest of their tools. Use once and throw it away when it breaks.

Just bought the steal one yesterday for $59.99 with a coupon. Tried it out and seems to work fine so far.

I tried it out when I got it home, but didn't lift the bike with it - after reading your post I went out and tried it on my Night Train and it works perfectly, with a very controlled descent rate.

You need to make sure that the long tube engages the square tang of the valve, turn clockwise to close it and then jack it.

The jack works fine I just cant lift my bike with it because of the guard on the right side of the frame where the oil pan is makes it uneven. I thought maybe there was another way to do it but i see your bike is different than mine. I guess I will just have to find something to put between the jack and the bike on the left side.

keep us posted as to how durable, as some of us don't have $350.00 for a occasionally used lift.

You might need to look at these lift adapters.

You might be better off with the steel lift and modify it.
