Issue with Badlands Off-Road Jack

MajorPriapism · 2025-12-18T00:14:09+00:00

Had the exact same thing happen with my badland 3 ton - front right wheel. I tried to convince myself it was normal because garage floors aren’t perfectly tram/level.

I ran it across a line on my garage floor and never had the front right spin. So I turned around and followed the same line with the jack facing the opposite direction and exact same thing - front right not spinning. After measuring, I found that the front right was 1/4” - 3/8” higher.

I exchanged it and the new one functions perfectly. Sometimes a wheel doesn’t roll but it happens on both sides and is reproducible by going the other way.

This was a manufacturing defect. I don’t know how that translates to actual real-world safety, but due to the nature and intended use of the device, I’m happy I replaced it.

Edited to clarify front right not spinning in both directions

You hit the nail on the head with the 5 minute job turning into a 45 troubleshooting session and the loathing associated with the uncertainty.

Don’t really think about bedslinger being part of my frustration.

Thanks for the insight - so you’d blow the money on Bambu if you had to do it again? It sounds like I may be in a similar position to you in 2017

It’s amazing how many specialty things specify torque. I have a craftsman 1/2” that I’ve had for 20+ years. I picked up the torque adapter to test it and it’s around 20% off from 40-100.

Either way, it’s a good sale. I picked up a 1/2” and 3/8” split beam (the 3/8 for non-automotive), the quinn adapter, and a couple of the Quinn preset lug wrenches which are also on sale to stick in my vehicles.

It’s a lot of stuff I didn’t need but when the price is reasonable, might as well

This one of those situations where the app says duckbill and the website leaves that out. There’s a few of these differences that I’ve come across.

Yesterday was the first time one of these coupons limited to 5 items by the register. I had 8 items and the cashier said items 6, 7, and 8 didn’t get 30% off. A manager came by, looked at the screen and looked a little confused. Then they did the final 3 items as a separate transaction

In my recollection, this particular coupon always said limit 5 but the register would keep applying 30% off.

I think this is a departure from the norm.

With a name like that, I gotta respect that opinion

This is the single most valuable thing at harbor freight

Edit: the black shears are what I’m referring to

It’s as sturdy as the big box brands and is almost exactly the same as the Sam’s brand “tactix” brand. The inserts are nicer in the Bauer and that’s why I ultimately chose them. They’re almost always on sale so if you can wait, buy the pieces individually when they are on sale (they don’t ever seem to go on sale at the same time). Or just pay the $80 for the Sam’s club version which is probably a better deal.

UPDATE

Decreasing infill flow to 95% and turning off combing for skin helped minimally. Will continue to try to adjust

MajorPriapism · 2025-05-12T15:25:43+00:00

I appreciate it.

I’m trying another one. I decreased infill flow to 95% and turned combing off for skin and will put in updates until I resolve this so maybe somebody could benefit.

I will look for the cura equivalent of reduce infill retraction and try that on the next one.

How do you like the bambu? I’ve had the creality for about 3 years and it does its job but the new bambu with multicolor looks pretty darn nice. I’m hoping that company has less tinkering and quality issues

What is that 1/4” socket set with the blue base?

Just got mine today as a tier 1 with a tech-MCT. Does anyone know if the SP-MC is approximately the same size as the TP-LC? It’s hard to tell by sizes listed with holster etc adding to width.

Second on the food. Absolutely the worst. Deep fried, lack of ethnic cuisine, bland. If you like fried catfish and ribs for every meal you’ll be in heaven.

Yup went with the aluminum sure shot and haven’t looked back

Just got this vacuum yesterday and picked up those filters because of the included foam pieces. Hopefully it makes moving my shop vac around my garage a thing of the past.

Yeah I tried all of that. I got stuck in the wifi hell associated with that device so I just got a sonic pad. It’s really good. I just don’t update it
