Anybody got opinions about Harbor Freight 2000lb Engine Stands vs the comparable Jegs model?
Both stands look the same with different color paint. I wonder if they are made in the same factory. Is there any real difference between the HFT or the Jegs in build quality? HFT is $100-150 cheaper than jegs and I don't have to pay for terrible shipping. Then again, I'd rather not walk out to the garage and find an IDI on the ground if Jegs would have been stronger.
I will be using the stand for rebuilds and testing if possible. I already have a cherry picker (not HFT) capable of 4000lbs which I can use in conjunction with the stand when running the motors. (Let me know if you think this is a bad idea)
I know the topic of stands for an IDI has been done to death, but I could not find a thread discussing the advantages of JEGS vs HFT. If this question has already been answered already, could somebody please direct me to the correct thread?
Thanks, and Happy Tinkering!
