I'm going to get one. With the Husky bike build and BrianRC working on Quin, I think it is a necessity.
Local HF says they have them in stock.

Nice deal, I noticed the 25% off coupon when picking up a vacuum pump at the Harbor Freight in Federal Way last weekend.

If you need any assistance getting the thing your new purchase to the Bike Cave, let me know as the Dodge Ram is always available.  Local to West Seattle might be the one in Georgetown which I think just opened.

Either way, happy to help anytime.

I called them. They said the computer showed in stock.
If you helped move it, then that would be an excuse for you to finally see the Bike Cake.
I'm all occupied Saturday but Sunday afternoon is open if they are open.
Coupon good till April 7 so following weekend might better. I could stop in on the GS and pay for it (to know it is there) then we can pick it up, if that sounds OK.

Sunday hours are from 9:00am to 6:00 am.  I called to see if they were open this Sunday, as it's Easter, and they said regular hours.  So if you'd like to pick it up this Sunday in the afternoon, I am game.

Let me know which Harbor Freight and what time and I'll be happy to meet you there.

Of course, if you have Easter plans, the following weekend would work too.

Fantastic! Sunday afternoon is fine. I'll probably go and pay for it ahead of time to be sure they have it for me.
Between 12 and 3 is best. I'll let you know after I stop in and pay for it.

Looks like Sunday the West Seattle Bike Cave will have  a lift!
Not sure what else we need for tools. Maybe someone to clean up and sort everything out?

HF said they will be open. They are reserving one for me because they don't like pre-paid with pick-up later.
BrianRC will get priority use for the first month so we can get Quin all fixed up as fast as possible. Then it will be for general use.

I have a 25% off coupon and here is what I got in email.
Can you scan that coupon so it is clean & flat? I'll take it in and they better take it!
Notice we have a different regular price?
And web site says regular price $699 on sale for $424 ($329 with on-line coupon)

And what's the difference between item 68892 and 69904?

Nothing.  It depends on the date and/or batch that was made...I shop at harbor freight all the time.

I think it relates to a batch job...you know like a bank or credit card processing.  All at once, then wait till the next batch.

That looks like the one that my dealer in Fairfield uses.  But I think his costs several thousand though.

It wouldn't stand up to dealer use. But for home use, well worth $329. I would guess a dealer one is pneumatic, automatic, and a little bigger platform. Maybe I'll upgrade if we use it a lot?
Our mod for the front wheel should make it better. Some reviews said the hydraulic pump wears out. I suspect that is from leaving it up and under pressure. There is a safety bar with 2 positions. Using that to let it rest on will take pressure off of the pump and should last a long time.
