The Hi-Lift is one tool that any off-roader should always keep in their arsenal. I never leave home without one! I cannot tell you how many times that I have used one, and how many times that I will need one in the future!

Thanks for the kind words. We appreciate your testimonial.

Here in Alaska they are very common and I would never be without one in my truck.

I grew up hearing the old name used by almost everyone ( the Handyman Jack ) in fact you can still walk into the local hardware store and ask for a Handyman jack and they will point to the Hi-Lift jacks ....

today I found a hi-lift jack and I would like to know from what year it is. It looks pretty old to me... Is there any way I can tell how old it is? Probably with some numbers that are on the hi-lift? It has red paint on it and I think it's about 50 inches tall. Thanks for making this great product, it looks really well build :) Greetings from Holland
