Very convenient to use, can fit in tight spaces, saves time and effort.
First of all, I want to say that I was looking for something like this for quite some time. Too many times I was working on a home improvement project, and I needed to hold something rather heavy on a specific level while I'm drilling and nailing it in place and there was nobody around who could help me. I had to resort to putting books, blocks, shims under the thing I was trying to install to level it and it was such a waste of time. Recently I was installing two bathroom mirror cabinets and the same story occurred - I needed to hold them in place while screwing them to a wall. That was the last drop, I went back to Amazon and looked up these jacks. I was skeptical about how well these jacks actually work at first. I've read other product reviews of similar items and they weren't very positive. But nevertheless, I've ordered it. I just got them and started using these jacks today. And oh man they delivered! It took me about 5 minutes to put these mirror cabinets in place instead of an hour that I would have wasted trying to make some sort of support. I used both jacks at the same time at two corners of these cabinets and pumped up both at the same time until the desired height was reached. Then 4 screws and it's all done. Wowzer! I was pleasantly surprised and mad at myself that I did not get these jacks earlier to save me from going crazy trying to jack up other things I was installing. It's rated at 330 lb max load capacity. The cabinets I was installing were maybe 50 lb max. Just for the sake of testing this claim I decided to see if they will be able to lift ~200 lb washing machine because my next planned project was to slide under our washer and dryer two drawers, and I needed to lift both to exactly 15 inches and I couldn't figure out how to do it. As I was expecting, there was very little force needed to be applied to these jacks to lift the washer! It could lift 200 pounds like it was 10 lb! And they held up just fine. I'll be ordering two more so I can put one jack under each corner to lift the washing machine vertically. *** TL;DR *** Yes, definitely an awesome product. It's nearly perfect and I highly recommend it. If you need to lift equipment, furniture, washing machine or something heavy, this is the perfect tool for the job! Very convenient to use, can be fitted in very tight spaces, height can be precisely adjusted, holds up very well under 200 lbs load (did not test higher loads yet). All-in-all, I'm very happy with it and it works perfectly for my home projects! Solid 5 stars. +++ Pros +++ 1) Well made. 2) Very convenient to use. 3) Can be fitted in very tight spaces. 4) Height can be precisely adjusted 5) Holds up just fine under 200 lbs load. 6) Compact, easy to store between uses. --- Cons --- None I can think of.
