My (real) Hi-Lift jack is still on the factory lube and has yet to give
me any trouble. I used it once to move a 40' shipping container (empty
and close to 10,000# tare wt.) about 60' over rough terrain and then
level it on concrete blocks (solid), so it's seen some heavy use.

I bought a Hi-Lift jack about a month ago and it seems to be f*cked

any obvious reason why it's binding, might be the pin holding the handle,
but I don't think so.

If I can find the bill I guess I'll replace it. But I'm wondering what
other
peoples experiences have been? I don't think a new one will last much
better.

A real Hi-Lift, or a Chinese knock off? If it's a knock off you're
probably SOL. For a real Hi-Lift you have to keep the climbing pins
clean and lubed, but tons of people abuse the heck out of those jacks
without any problems. You can get a rebuild kit for like $10-12 at
places like Tractor Supply. Check the Hi-Lift site
(http://www.hi-lift.com/) for more info and warrantee stuff.
