The only real difference in them is the one from Harbor Freight doesn't have a removable hand.

Meh, only a minor importance :-) All you need to do is strap the handle back, or ziptie it or something =)

A highlift isnt that expensize to start with. The top of the line highlift is like 60-80 dollars. I would just spend the extra 30 dollars or so for a nice highlift.

do some hunting, I got my highlift for 30 used. :) The removable handle has come in handy as a make shift breaker bar more than once. I know a few guys who have used HF ones with some success too though.

I got my Hi-Lift 2 years ago at Sportsmans Warehouse for $45. I'd say spend the extra money and get the real deal. Nothing against Harbor Freight, it's just I've had bad experiences with cheap jacks.
