Shuddup Nerd !

Good deal dadman. I been wanting one of those for a long time. I used them on the ranch a lot. VERY strong and versatile. Some scumbucket stole both of them out of the tool shed on the ranch a few years back.

I call them a "come along" as they will winch you out of some tight spots.
We used four once to raise up a single car garage and let it down on a flat bed trailer..
Never leave home with one.
That new attachment looks like the berries .

OWL....u know me, I will never 'shut up'.....even in the best of times.:rofl:

A Hi-Lift jack--or better yet a pair--, is one of the most useful and versatile tools for ranching and off-road driving. We have a pair of them that we have used for more than 15 years, with no problems whatsoever. They are great for pulling fence posts, tightening fence wire, freeing 4WDs from "high center" situations, you name it.

OBTW, Hi-Lift makes a little spare parts kit. Be sure to get one of those.

I dun furgots.

In my area, TSC(Tractor Supply Co.) carries the rebuild kit, bumper attach hook and other goodies.
The jack itself goes for about $50. They also carry a cheaper China jack.
The 60" Hi-lift has a lower load rating once you get past the 48" range, and the red/cast is better than the black with some stamped pieces.

The JackMate is a stronger replacement for the jack supplied top hook.
