Anyone Have A Costco Membership?

[JamesK]

So I assume most of you know Costco is selling these jacks for around $165ish, I don't really want to spend $60 on a membership and was wondering if anyone has one so I can get one of these little guys?

[htial]

I've got a membership... ...Well... ...Yuka does... ...But I don't know where my card is or if it's still valid... ...How long is the sale on for because I might get one for myself too...

[kaitoukid]

I've got the exact one .

Unfortunately I don't have a costco membership though, mate grabbed it for me.

@htial, I think $165 mentioned is normal price, so shouldn't change any time soon afaik...

Haha it's not a sale, it's just the price, I've been meaning to get one over the last 2 years just never gotten around to doing it, it started at $150! Although you have to be careful, apparently some ass goes in and buys pretty much all the stock and sells them on eBay for $240+ it's a bit hit and miss with the stock

EDIT: Let me know if your going PLEASE!

not sure if I would be trusting a costco jack...

i've bought a few things there..quality is not their best point..cheap is..

I've got a membership, and I've got the jack.. The jack is great, hasn't failed.. And they've got a 3 year warranty on em so if it ever f**ks up u don't need a receipt or the box, just bring the jack back and they replace or refund, no questions

Will they replace your car though lol

That warranty only applies IF you keep your membership current for the whole time tho yeah?

I really should get one too... what should be 5 minute jobs on the car take me ages due to the old scissor jack!

[blah_blah]

Yeah I need to get one too...

Busted my old one and using scissor jack is a pain in the butt

why would you not have stands when jacking up a car.. common sense to have stands and not to rely on a jack only..

not sure about that one. but yeh i think 5 pumps and its at full height, which is fkn HIGH!

i think its a pretty good jack, gf's dad has had one for about 2 years now with no issues at all.

[Birds]

Cause you kind of have to jack up a car before you can put the stands under it...

[Sunkist]

and you also have wheels to take off after the cars jacked up...if the jack fails while you're lifting the car its only going to land on its wheels.. if you take the wheels off before using stands, then its your own fault.

and if you take the wheels off before lifting, i'd like to see a video.

[Birds]

Dunno about you but my car wouldn't survive a 30cm drop, even with wheels on.

Don't take out your white retardedness on me, Aaron.

Honestly I barely drive the car around anymore, I'm not jacking it up all that much these days I can justify buying a more expensive one, I'm just tired of my little POS. I have several Jack stands and service ramps so yea this is just a little cheap alternative which would be nice to have around. I'm not really looking for quality on this but a 7 page thread on JDM has prooved that this is good for just the once-in-awhile user. I ride my motorcycle more often now since summer is coming around and it's 100% fixed now (those that know me know I have been in a few....incidents....)

SCISSOR JACK? Hahah at least get an el cheap-o piston jack from scamco, crap-o-barn, or supershitauto. Although in saying that my friend has a modded scissor jack that works with his power drill....it's freaking awesome
