    Hey guys, I’ve been looking around a-lot lately for a good jack or jack and stands combo set. I was curious when I came across this uni-jack if anyone has this or has used it.
    Thoughts?

    I have a pair of those. They work well on my 4x4's and tractor but are a little too tall to get underneath my 2wd truck. Forget using them on a car, obviously. But the adjustable height is great for taller vehicles.

    I've had them for a couple of years now and haven't had any problems with them.

    Yep, @tacoma16 turned me onto this sweet jack as well. Once I realized my stock jack would not get my 33's off the ground I needed something else

    Store up right to avoid leaking :thumbsup:

    Great on the trail, it can jack my truck up on 35’s no problem. It’s small and compact for what it is. Safe to use for repairs or General maintenance. Did my brakes with it. Super easy.

    I don't think so. The Dale Earnhardt edition comes with a bunch of scratches and dents on the right side.

    I’ve been using 3 ton Craftsman (the yellow and black), forever but will be upgrading this summer. The lift requires the jacks to be mostly all the way up, so it’s time for jacks with wider footing that don’t need raised as high.

    I had a set of Alltrade tools several years ago. Broke a few sockets and never went back. Not sure I would trust their jacks but that's a different item and a different time.
    I have a Craftsman 3 ton floor jack and Harbor Freight 12 ton jack stands. I won't buy much from Harbor Freight but I have no concerns being under the truck with these stands supporting it. Very heavy duty and fully welded. Tall enough to support lifted truck.
    For trail, Hi-lift extreme. I have sliders for lifting and have the Hi-lift wheel lift point attachment if needed.
    The bottle jack is, generally speaking, a much safer tool for lifting than a Hi-Lift. Always something to consider. Know your tools and how to safely use them.

    I was thinking about getting one of those when I picked up a 6 ton from tractor supply. I like the 6 ton so I can fit it in the stock location.

    I like that one just for the jackstand not having notches. I hate setting the height on jack stands for some reason. Lol

    I think price inflation since I bought mine a few years back for $39. Tractor supply is where I bought mine and they usually have better prices on this 3 ton jack.

    I have one.... still in the box it was shipped in.

    Bought it mostly for the boat trailer, if I catch a flat tire.

    Anybody using those exhaust/inflatable bag jacks? Low weight and easy to store. Reviews are fairly good from what I am seeing.
