I made a T-post puller for my hi-lift jack. ...

My youthful experiences with bumper jacks convinced me to raise

a hi lift jack do better besides ride in the pickup bed?

They are handy as hell for a lot of things. But they are simply ONE
tool..they dont replace all of your tools.

Ive used them for everything from pulling fence posts to changing
tires to bucking out buckled body work to lifting machinery so I could
put skates under them. Very handy for many things but not the sole
tool in your lifting kit.
