My flat top two ton Walmart Hyper Tough trolley jack conversion

Over the past 20 years, I have owned ad replaced three Harbor Freight 1.5 ton aluminum racing jacks.

The first one weighed 23 pounds, the second; 29 pounds, and the last; 33 pounds. It seems that over the years more parts were replaced with steel.

All were bulky and even with the side handle, awkward to carry around.

None lasted more than 3-5 years.

I finally had enough and purchased cheap Walmart steel Hyper Tough two ton steel trolley jacks in the $30-$42 range. Amazingly, they way only 18 pound each and had an extra 1/2 ton rated capacity.

The top one hand carrying handle made them easy to carry around.

The only issue with these jacks is the small swivel cup saddle.

Finally, I had enough and converted them to a flat top saddle, by removing the saddle and cutting and grinding the cup flat.

To which, I machined and added a flat top aluminum adapter showing in the following pictures;
