My neighbor said to buy the cheap HF floor jack, and I should have listened

He told me last year to just get the $90 Pittsburgh 3-ton from Harbor Freight for my home garage. I thought I was smarter and spent over $300 on a 'pro-sumer' brand online. The expensive one started leaking after about 8 months of light use. His cheap one is still going strong, and he uses it way more than I do. I was wrong to think more money always means better gear. Has anyone else had a basic tool outlast a fancy one you bought?

Ever think it's just luck of the draw, like caseyw12 said? My buddy's cheap jack is fine, but another guy's broke right away. Maybe we just hear more about the ones that last.

Sometimes the cheap stuff just gets made right that day.
