Yes. I had another jack fail (not HF) and needed one quickly so went with HF (was close to my house.) I generally use it 2-3x year when I am switching out winter tires and then just the odd use. If I start doing regular track days or more work at home on the car, I would certainly get something far more durable and well designed.
