All,

Good afternoon. I have a question - why would I spend all that money on a H-Lift jack when I can get a knock-off at Tractor Supply for $33? Thanks in advance.

Shoot, those are knock offs? haha, I thought they were kind of cheap in price. I don't know about the quality.

You often get what you pay for and when was the last time you were upset about buying the best?

hell, why go buy an HD DVD movie for $25.... when you can go to chinatown and get a camera recorded version for $2

mostly because of what john said, you get what you pay for

Heck, why not listen to more music and read a book. Spend the money to see all the new movies in IMAX with the wife.

Ronnie, I've seen a lot more of that cheap Iron shatter than the more expensive stuff.

You gotta remember, the Chinese are our enemies and they intend to kill us. :shock:

I've used cheap tools and they break easily, quickly, and can put your life at risk.

Go quality on tools. Not necessarily do you have to get the top of the line, but definitely not the bottom or near bottom either.
