Bought this as we had to pull a lot of tree stumps at our new house but have since used it for all sorts of jobs including pulling a dumper out of mud up to its axles,changing wheels on a tractor, lifting a roof beam to change a post the list goes on.Got to admit that at first although it worked ok it was a bit of a faff switching from lift to lower until I realised there was no lubrication on the pins or linkages.A squirt of oil and it was transformed switching from lift to lower with one finger.The instructions that came with it were pants but if you search "High lift jack" you'll find no end of videos and different uses for it.

This high lift jack came with a top clevis bolted on ( a lot don't even have one you have to spend another £20 to get one). The base is cast and not press steel, tack welded together so it's not going to fall apart the first time you get a landy 2' of the ground. The overall appearance of the jack is of a well made and overly strong construction well capable of handling it's 3 ton max load. I have used high lift jack for over 30 years and this one looks to be the strongest of them all at a fantastic price I might add.

Very good price compared to the prices you'll find in retail stores. I used this to jack up 3 tree stumps. This would have been a very expensive cost to hire someone to do it. Obviously you'll still need to severe large roots from the stump. But once that is done and you position the jack in the right place, jacking up the stump can be done effortlessly. Even though I'll never need to use it again in my garden, the price you pay is worth it.

Superb jack! I used it to stump eight 7m high trees that I had felled in our garden and to remove some old metal fence posts. It eventually died and now the pins keep slipping from some serious overloading but after the punishment I put it through it owed me nothing. Would highly recommend and I am happy to purchase another one to keep handy for any future garden projects.

Lifts enormous weights from very low to very high with no electronics or hydraulics, just a simple mechanical action that you can see working. Wonderful.
