How many ways can you use a Hi-Lift Jack
« on: May 28, 2008, 02:14:37 PM »

Lets hear em how many different things are Hi-Lift Jacks good for.
So far the ones I know off the top of my head are

1.) A Jack
2.) A winch
3.) The handle as a tie rod
4.) The Jack body can be used as a control arm or track bar
5.) The handle can be a cheater bar.
6.) I used the handel for a shifter this weekend
7.) Jaws of life

I don't know what you'd call it but, when you use the high-lift under the back/front of the truck to hoick the vehicle out of ruts or whatever they're stuck in.

Am I the only one who knows about the beer bottle opener? You must have seen it. That open slot under the jaw. Don't all rush and try it at once...
























...and don't drink and drive.

Forgot a couple!

Engine hoist. -  (Only when push REALLY is shove, but it works - just make sure it's all well oiled or lowering the block can be a dastard).
Agricultural type sash clamp.
Engine support. Used on little cars when changing clutch plates and/or cam belts when you have to take an engine mount off i.e. Honda Civic.
(Hope those last two words don't rate me as an imposter - I got a Jeep. Honest Officer!)
