Have you used this jack?

keithdog · 07-18-13, 09:07 PM

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these jacks. It looks about as simple and quick as can be to use. But things aren't always as they seem. I thought with all the boat owners in the forums, someone has to have one. I have a 12 foot jon so obviously, I don't need anything heavy duty. This I would think would fit the bill nicely. What's your opinion?

Do you mean as you drive the trailer forewards onto the jack?

I believe Bryce has one of those.

They are considered a quick jack or a quick way,notorious for falling off,takes very level ground.I use and carry a flat hydraulic jack,beats a mickey mouse any day and that, kind of like my hooves as is.More or less a gimmic.
Even level ground if you dont loosen quite enough the torque will push it off,if attempting to break a nut loose.
Useage-very carefully-hopefully with someone elses hands.

I think he means it looks really easy to go a teensy bit too far when driving up onto it, so that instead of stopping at vertical, it rolls over and the trailer falls off of it. I agree that it looks that way, but I have zero experience with them, so I may be way wrong.
