I'm just getting started with off-roading and I figured a hi-lift jack would be a good idea. I was at Princess Auto where the 48" hi-Lift is $99. They also have a 48" Power Fist jack that is coming on sale this Tuesday for $49. I like to believe you get what you pay for but can there be that much difference in a jack. Does anyone have any experience with either of these products?

Hi Lift is the one to buy this is not the place you want to cheap out

There is no comparison. the price is all in the quality of the product.

I saw the casting snap on a Power Fist jack, scary stuff. The shear pin did not shear when it should have. I would stick to Hi-Lift, they also go on sale time to time.

Thanks for the advice. I picked up the Hi-Lift this afternoon.

Hi-Lift or Jackall brand, avoid the others.
