Sorry if this has already been mentioned...did a search.
Saw a new high-lift jack on the market, in the latest 4WD Action, and thought others might be interested. Perhaps someone has one and can comment on the differences to the usual high-lift jacks?
It doesn't really do anything special that a normal highlift can't.
It is no more stable, no less dangerous and doesn't look any stronger.
reinventing the wheel i think.

It's almost exclusively a race item - lighter and quicker than a high lift.
It's nowhere near as useful though - can't pull or clamp and there's no nice long handle than can be used as a breaker bar, to sleeve a drag link,tie rod or gazilliions of other jobs.
My Hilift handle gets used 10 times more than the jack does.
PS you own a Gwagen now Grazza - you'll be needing to sleeve the draglink any day now

I've never had a use for a conventional high lift jack so there's no way I would buy one of them aspecially for that price. They would be just as unstable and dangerous as any other high lift jack just a little easier to use.
They just made it look easy in the drive way which you could do with any jack. If I was going to jack up my 4wd in my drive way I would use my trolly jack which will lift my whole rear end or front end and more safely.
Huh? Something which someone will find useful and will probably keep in the back of the car? Sure its pricey but How is that bling?
Has the definition of bling changed recently?
It will look real bling up on the spare tyre carrier compared to the chassis black cast hilift.
I think it's geared more towards the bling trucks in general. With that much lift on a hummer, the stock bottle jack doesn't cut it. It would be a practical jack for a road going bling trucks.
The worst part about being told you have Alzheimer's, is that it doesn't just happen once.
I hate high lift jacks, they jamb and come down all at once, wiegh a ton and sqash your fingers. But I saw one of these in use not long ago and would seriously think about hanging one off my rig. You never know when you are going to belly out or need to extend your foxys right out to regas them.
i have one of these got it for my 21st ..... very easy to use.. i think it is safer than the coventional hi-lift as they are smooth no jerky movements... if u can afford it .. GET IT
I can see the appeal of them. If only just for the weight saving. High lifts are a pain in the arse to use and where I have mine mounted under the tray it's very cumbersome to remove but I wouldn't want to mount it any higher. But I don't think I'll be lashing out the big bucks they are asking for one of those any time soon.
