Pittsburg (Harbor Freight) vs Pro Eagle Jacks
« on: January 01, 2019, 01:45:38 PM »
To me, the Pro Eagle is made by Pittsburg that harbor freight carries. I have had the 3 ton Aluminum Pittsburg for 4 to 5 years with no issues and I would buy another.

 Pro Eagle is expensive but with those big wheels it rolls real nice. If you never tried to move a rig with a floor jack it's not that easy. Pro eagle has a bottom skid and the extension. I cannot tell you how many times I havd stacked 2x4 to get something high enough. A lot times I put jack stands under the frame and let the axle fall out to do things. To get them high enough I stacked 2x4's. Same thing for the sxs.

Pictures to compare.

So I guess with the Pro Eagle you can’t turn it once weight is on it since it doesn’t have swivel casters in the rear like a regular jack. Interesting. Trade off I guess for smooth rolling.

That would have made it perfect but the wheels would have to a lot smaller unless some high arch was built to hold the wheel.

I was studying the ProEagle this past week & had wondered at similarity to HF jack ; thanks for the side by side + good timing ( for me) of it.

Sure beats stacking 2x4's.
