The best deal is to get the $19.99 Fry's branded 802.11g router and flash the D-link 802.11n firmware onto it.
It will also probably be running DD-WRT in a few weeks. Open-WRT Kamikaze is already working. Now I just need a few N adapters for $10...

Oh, that's pretty crazy to sell the hardware capable of N but not enable it. Guess it's got to the point where it doesn't actually cost more to produce N hardware or something.
Yah, I should have bought more than 1. I still haven't upgraded my network to N yet though. I really need to stop playing video games and do that. But it's almost like, because I got such cheap hardware, I'm not as motivated to use it. Hope nothing was DOA.

No, I won't work on your car. F* your car

I bought that jack once. Picked up one side of a 2800 pound car with it, one time. Never worked again... Not even worth the $60, but I'm picky...

I have it too. The first one started leaking the first time I used it but I think it's because I jacked it up to high. My previous jack would just stop raising but you could keep jacking it up without issue. This one seems to reach a hard stop and if you try to go any higher, it blows the seal. Fortunately it broke within the 90 day warranty so HF gave me a new one and with coupons that the cashier offered me, I added a 2 year extended warranty for free or something like that. I've used it to raise the car a few dozen times since and haven't had an issue, but I'm still cautious with it.

I've got the larger version of that HF jack. Been using it for about 7 years now IIRC, never had an issue. Then again, I installed the self-bleeder nut on day 1, which may prevent that seal blowout. Or perhaps the larger $120 (or whatever it cost) model might just be a lot better. A bunch of people I know have complaints about that cheaper one that's periodically on sale.

I've had 3 of these since 2002. Don't remember what happened to the 1st one, the 2nd one was used to attempt to move a car that lost its wheel off the autox course, and broke, and the 3rd one has been fine -- especially since Dean showed me that you have to replenish the jack oil reservoir occasionally .

I have had that jack for probably 5 years. It has always worked well for me. I just recently jacked up the entire side of my car after I saw Cory do it(instead of corner by corner) and the jack didn't really like that too much.

My buddy's been through a few of the $60 HF jacks - keeps blowing them jacking up with his 1300 lb race bug. I have an aluminum jack from Costco, things a frickin monster. Light and solid. Lifted up the front of my pop's dodge with ease. just sayin, for $120 you can get a more solid aluminum jack that the HF premium model.

I miss the jack that I got as a package with creeper+rolling stool deal from Summit Racing. I don't remember for sure, but it was a great deal...definitely under $100. It was the one I had before the HF one that you could keep jacking forever and it wouldn't blow a seal. Alas, somebody ganked it from my garage.

I have the slightly larger version that goes on sale often for $120 or so that has lasted 10 years of track events and garage work. Just clean it, top off the oil and air bleed now and again. You should never push any jack all the way to the end of the throw. Yes, they have a bypasses, but that doesn't mean you won't hurt the seals. It is just like cranking your steering all the way to lock and holding it against the stop. Not good for any of the power steering components really.
I regularly jack up one end of my cars or the other and sides occasionally with it. Jack up the front and put jack stands at front side jack points and then jack the rear diff and all 4 are off so you can diagonal or whatever rotate you want. It will even lift the front of my F-150 with only a little strain and changed tires on my enclosed trailer with a car in it!

Since this has turned into Seņor Cheap Bastard and other's Deal-O-Rama of the day thread, I thought I'd throw this in...
Sam's Club has a free Guest membership with no up-charge until 1/25. If you sign up for a membership, you get a $10 or $25(plus) gift cards and a coupon for free cookies and muffins. Stop by the membership counter to get your card and get it back from the cashier. they are used to keeping them as they are usually 1 day cards. Memberships are Individual=$40, Business=$35, "Plus"=$100 Plus gets you a bunch of stuff I haven't gone through yet but will and I think up to 2% back. All let you buy gas for $.05/gal cheaper than the masses. That is the same as the Costco price as of today. I did some comparison shopping vs. Costco today, well because I had nothing better to do. Kind of interesting actually. Was thinking about going into Walmart as well but didn't. No critiques of what I choose. And no, i won't tell you who has the better deal on ensure or depends cause I don't know or need to. Sam's/Costco Bold = better deal Red=Temp deal Cheap Car battery group 58: 57.82 / 53.99 (sorry, forgot what group Subarus are...) Compact Florescent light bulbs. Costco by a mile because they have an instant rebate bringing 4x23w=2.29 or 4x13w=2.99 for pretty much the full year according to the sign. Bounce 250 7.98 / 7.99 (SC would have won, but there is a coupon this month at Costco for $1.50 off) Tide 180 load 26.10 / 25.09 plus another $2.50 off with coupon this month!!! Smuckers Strawberry jam 2x32oz 5.42 / 6.89 Applesauce 4X47.25oz 7.27 / 7.79 Kraft Mac & Cheese 12/$7.80 / 15/9.99 Raisins 4lb 6.98 / Organic 6.89 Craisins 48oz 6.83 / 6.99 Coupon this month for $3 off or so makes this the temp BIG winner. Baking Soda 13.5lb 5.98 / 5.99 Vanilla 16oz name brand 6.88 / Kirkland 6.79 Bread: Costco on Milton's or Oroweat, probably others as well. Oroweat mix & match 2X1.5lb=4.54 / 2x2lb=5.69 Take & bake pizza Cheese or Peperoni, tie. Other multi meet or combos, Costco by a ton. Peanuts oil roasted, cocktail: 52oz/5.78 / 40oz/7.39 Costo's are really good XXL and fried till crunchy but not worth that much more!!! Pineapples 2.97 / 2.99 and both are the same size and way bigger than the ones I have seen in grocery stores for $3+ Nonfat Milk gal. 1/1.94 / 2/2.04 I can't believe it's not butter 3.75/5.58 / 5/7.49 Mexican blend cheese shredded Kraft 2x1lb/5.04 / Kirkland 1x2lb/5.99 Mild Cheddar No Name 5lb. block 9.82 / 10.89 Eggs XL 18/2.24 / 24/2.79 Real Bacon bits 20oz Hormel $6.98 / Kirkland 9.99 This is a crush on a better quality product. And they both suck at anything that goes on sale at grocery stores like Soda, meats, produce, poultry, etc...

Sam's Club thin crust take and bake is pretty damn good. Less than 1/2 the crust bulk of Costco which improved its value so winner depends on what you like.
