I've had this thing for at least 10 years and it has never let me down, unless that's the direction I want it to go. Back when I bought mine they were about half the current price.

First the bad: 1, the base plate it way too loose and lets the jack rock front to back way too easily 2, the clamp jaw or lack there of. The little metal tab is great for attaching a chain for use as a winch but this thing has ZERO clamping ability with it. Try to use it as a clamp and the tap just rotates.

The good: I have used this thing for everything from winching (when a come-a-long isn't strong enough) to pulling fence posts, used it to set heavy machinery in a plant, break the bead on tires and save a ton of money changing tractor, motorcycle and truck tires at home without beating up the rim, level storage buildings, lift heavy tires like 38's and 44's (try changing a 44 by yourself without one of these. This is almost as versatile as duct tape.

Now that they cost as much as a Hi-Lift brand I wouldn't buy another one though. If you're going to spend this much money might as well buy one made in the USA.

thanks

Hello Amazon and thanks for the Follow Up. The Larin (LFJ-48) 48" Utility Jack is AWESOME.
