Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
After reading all the comments about Hi-Lifts it is no more dangerous that
anything else we use in off-roading. Any tool is dangerous when it is
misused or used for a purpose it was not intended for.
My father still has the hi-lift he used when farming. I remember it
collapsing when he tried to use it on a tractor axle. He never maintained
it - he only squirted some grease on it from time to time and never cleaned
it.

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
I always wondered, till yesterday, why anyone would need a hi-lift, I hear
people always talking about moving thier jeep over with it. Well as of
yesterday I can see the need, we were out for a weenie roast up in the bush,
there was this nice little outcropping of rock that only a narrow track,
like mine, could get to between the trees, so off I go to try, around one
tree, between 2 others with about 8" on either side, lots of room, ya right,
as soon as I passed the trees and my front wheels got up on the mossy rock,
I slid sideways in the rear and was stuck, hard top up against one of the
two trees I had just passed, and slipping on the mossy rock to go forward.
Tried everything for about 10 minutes, rocks under wheels, shot out on
moss, tried to get guys to push me as I spun, no way, fortunately there was
just enough room on the trail beside me for my daughter to get on sideways
and pull my rear end. If the trail wasn't beside me or wide enough, I would
of been sending her into to town to buy a hi-lift, or pick up my chain saw

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
No Bill, it scared him (He's 87 now and this happened in the early 60's) and
he scolded me for standing so close. My point is that his jack was not
maintained. He has tried to give it to me, but I don't want it.
