    The HB Go-Jack knockoffs get decent reviews, but looking at them up close they don't look like they're a long-lasting design. Too many cheap looking, lightweight elements on them. They wouldn't hold up to regular use IMHO.
    Even Go-Jack makes some lightweight models that don't look that durable. The higher grade models are north of $200.00 each. I guess if you need them, you need them, but Damn.

    HB? Limit use I have garage to store in, single doors need to angle it in and it's just to tight. It is in until spring but I need to get something so I can get it back out lol

    I have used the Harbor freight ones for 6 years.
    The bearings in the caster are dry when new, oil them up and they are smooth as glass. Back in 2011 I bought a pair that had been returned for $48.
    They work great after oiling/greasing, every time my boat goes in the garage I have to use them.
    Matter of fact the boat sits on them all the time.

    Spending 5 minutes of maintenance over 6 years saved me $200+.

    I had no issue with my harbor freight ones but I was disappointed on how far the handles/lever arm sticks out. Found I could back in the boat the same distance from the wall as the jack would move before hitting.

    I have the ones from Harbor Freight $89.00 each and they have worked great for 3 years without a complaint. I have a 20'9" boat and a 20'x 20' garage and these make it simple to fit into the garage.
