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

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.



Hmmm, Hi-Lift jacks are manufactured here in my hometown of Bloomfield,
Indiana. The owners live right behind me.

Great, but that dont help the poster.

I have several Hi-Lift jacks. They are almost a MUST on farms. But they
can be a pain in the ass, and they ARE most of the time.
The pins need to be oiled on a regular basis. After that, you fight with
them repeatedly, and sometimes they actually work.....

I try to use a bottle or floor jack whenever I can, instead of a Hi
Lift.
