Use that jack long enough and their appreciation will show in your smile.



Always remember to keep your lips over your teeth when using idiotically dangerous tools like the slip-off-omatic, handle-kickback-omatic HighLift.

It would probably be better to keep them uncovered so you didn't get your lip all cut up when the tooth (if not more) gets knocked out.

I keep clear away from that handle when using one, it would just take one slip though...

My hi-lift has proved to be worth its weight, as well as all the chain i haul around with me for when i get stuck (made the winch set up for it). too bad it hates working it dirty, gotta keep a can of wd40 with the jack at all times or it might just get stuck in the up position..... again.

Yeah, I have 2 of them. I'm not a hater. I have a 48 and a 60. They are a dangerous but neccesary device. i wasn't joking about keeping your lips over your teeth. Use it enough and you will get a kick-back. Also, the truck goes up in an arc and pulls itself away from the jack. You have to be on your toes. I've used mine for everyything from a winch to alift on my dump trailer. I know what I'm talking about, not just making fun. A High-Lift is useful, but it's also dangerous.

Yeah, a steady stream of WD40 goes a long way toward making the thing actually ratchet up and down.
