Wall Jack, Portable Wall Jacks for Framing, Use with 1-1/2 X 3-1/2 in Fir Poles Or 1 in Od Steel Pipe, Malleable Casting Iron Wall Jack for Lifting Wall Beams, Capacity of Lifting 1,000 lbs

The media could not be loaded. I picked up this wall jack to help with a framing project in my basement, and let me tell ya - it's a sturdy little beast! The casting iron construction feels solid and durable, like it could withstand a lifetime of heavy lifting. Which is good, because this thing is rated to hoist up to 1,000 lbs. That's a lot of wall! Using it is pretty straightforward, but it does take some setup. You'll need to have a 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch fir pole and a 1 inch steel pipe on hand (heads up - those aren't included). Once you've got your pole mounted and a kickplate in place to keep it steady, it's just a matter of pumping the handle up and down to lift your wall. Simple, but definitely a workout! Now, the manufacturer recommends using two of these jacks for larger walls, and I can see why. Trying to lift a big ol' wall solo with just one of these is doable, but it's not for the faint of heart (or weak of arm). I definitely broke a sweat getting my 8-foot wall up, even with a buddy on the other end. One thing I really appreciate is that this jack is weather-resistant. I accidentally left it outside overnight after a long day of framing, and it was none the worse for wear in the morning. Rust? What rust? The only real downside I've found is that the handle can get a bit sticky sometimes. I had to really put my back into it a few times to get it moving smoothly. A little WD-40 helped, but it was still a bit of a nuisance. All in all, this wall jack is a solid choice for DIY framing projects. It's built like a tank, does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't mind a little rough weather. Just be prepared to put in some manual labor - this isn't a "set it and forget it" kinda tool. Oh, and maybe hit the gym before tackling any monster walls solo - your biceps will thank you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This thing is so amazing. I am building a fairly large building with 14 foot high walls etc. all by myself. I thought I'd have to hire a crew just for getting the walls up and in place. This wall jack saved me hundreds of dollars by letting me fairly easily get large heavy walls up and in place. It is very solid and works fairly simply.

The media could not be loaded. My husband and I built our entire house using these! Our walls are 12 feet tall! Some were twelve feet long! These jacks came in handy for the two of us! I have to say. I was a little scared a couple of times! But when you don't have people to help you out. These jacks are worth having!. Just get the correct wood that it tells you to get! The bite is what it takes for them to work! They have to bite to walk up the 2X4's. Having said this! Glad my husband came across these for us to build our house.

Works good as expected.

These work okay, with a couple caveats.•You MUST hold down on the upper part of the bracket where there is a tiny arm or they don’t bite into the 2x4 and can slide back down, a bit dangerous if you’re not aware.•They are very difficult to work back down the 2x4 at all, you have to hold down on the upper part and awkwardly push up on the lower part.They did work, but without some design changes I don’t think I would recommend them to others.

Really bad product ,we tried to lift the wall and one piece snapped by itself ,gladly the wall was 1 foot away from the floor

Very handy while framing a house.. a must have

Today, I utilized my wall jack to elevate multiple 20-foot beams onto their respective support columns. I own another jack from a different manufacturer, and this one unquestionably outshines it. Essentially, we are dealing with a wall jack - a substantial, sturdy cast iron apparatus with movable components. While the finish is quite impressive, and it functions seamlessly, my primary concern is its performance. Fortunately, this jack fulfills the requirements perfectly.
