High lifts

<< < (5/5)

freeagent:
I had a Jackall, which was in my old 110 when it was stolen... I bought a genuine high-lift to replace it but I prefered the Jackall... If i had a spare £40 i'd bin the high-lift and get another Jackall...

As both Jackall and High-Lift can be bought brand new from Paddocks for about £40 is it realy worth messing about with either crap Chinese copies or second-hand stuff...
these tools have the ability to seriously injure you if they fail, so I wouldn't risk a cheapie...

Range Rover Blues:
Try using it, if it's a Jakall it will probably still work.  I had a couple of knock-off copies and the lifting pins in the mechanism were just roll-pins which quickly bent.  On the Jakall they are steel pins, so the lift mechanism works smoothly even when it's been abused.

I'm not aware of any copies of the Hi-Lift :?

Colour is also a give-away.  If it's not red it's not a jakall, Hi-Lift can be red or black.

crazymac:
I've always used the "farmjack" versions, which are red!!

the only problem I had was when I needed to replace the pins in the lifting mech (12 year old and worn out) I did eventually find them, then my jack was nicked :evil:

Replaced it with one of the same!

I brought a copy off ebay branded as a Samson and they are crap. as said the pins bend and when you try to lower it. instead of a controlled lower it just let go and the 110 dropped straight to the floor. While I was holding onto the handle. :x not reccomended. if you want one buy a Hi-lift off Paddocks.
