Lever Arm Lifter, 12 Inch Labor Saving Arm Jack, Drywall Hand Jack Lift Tool for Wall Tile and Positioning Aid, Cabinet Jack and Board Lift, Door Lifter Tool, Man's Tool Gift (2PCS)

This is like having a third hand that do the hard work for you, specially I’m a 68 years old man. Actually I’m still strong enough to lift up the furniture but what is the risk injuring your back by holding the file cabinet with one hand and insert a sliding pad with the other hand? Is it not worthed. I said perfect for women and retirees but actually I would recommend to everybody to use this product, a few squeezes of the handle will jack up a refrigerator effortlessly, the good part is you just need 1/8” of clearance to insert the tool under the object, you don’t need 2 hands to squeeze the handles ,the release tab is just a light push and it will bring theobject down incrementally, the lifting height is 6.5”. I’m retired and I’m glad that I invest on this inexpensive tool because I don’t want to live the rest of my life with a walker due from back injury which is very common problem for lots of people in this country. You can be smart and strong but a simple mistake will make you regret for the rest of your life. I’m very grateful to whoever that invent this gadget , back in the old time you need at least 2 peoples to do the work, now you can tackle the job yourself. The tools are sturdy and the material is strong and durable, come in a nice thick cardboard box for storage. Definitely an essential tool in your garage.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this - I took a chance that they would work "as advertised" and they do indeed. Many times when trying to lift something bulky and massive I'v resorted to a lever of sorts - a block of wood with a smaller block under it acting as the fulcrum for the lever. Those can work really well, but here's the problem: for something quite heavy it becomes difficult to step on the lever arm AND try to be in a position to do whatever it is you're trying to do / the ting you're trying to get at. Consequently the lever approach often makes jobs a two-person event - someone has to push down on the lever while the other person does what they need to under the thing being lifted.This is a clever design in that the handle ratchets such that the lift is done in small sections (and naturally, the device relies upon a lever to lift things). Thus you squeeze a number of time while the lift moves upward in small steps, carrying whatever on top of it.The padding on the handles makes it easy on your hands as well, so including those was a good call in the design. A simple design that is well engineered and does exactly what it claims to do. Brilliant.

I'd rate these things as very dangerous. probably because the lifting forks are too short/soft and angled downward slightly. Secondly because the feet have no grip at all. And thirdly because there is nothing solid to keep the distance between the lifts the same. First I tried lifting a 100 pound oven to test the lift capabilities. Once I got the oven around 5-6 inches off the ground one of the lifts on the opposite side from where I was tilted out of position and caused the oven to suddenly fall on one side. I figured it was my fault for jacking more 2 hand pumps at a time instead of 1. I also realized how important it is to have wood under whatever you're lifting so if it falls it won't have far to fall. Also it won't tilt as much so there's less chance it will topple over. Next I tried lifting a 300+ pound appliance with tons of safety wood beneath it. When I got it around 8 inches high one of the lifts stopped working. It would only "lift" if I held the appliance up while pumping the jack with no weight on it. Again a jack tilted out of position suddenly and the appliance fell. Luckily it only fell maybe 1-2 inches because of the backup wood.What I ended up doing was using these lifts just to get my appliance 7 inches off the ground (with the safety wood beneath as mentioned). Then I rolled a car floor jack with a long piece of 3/4 inch wood running perpendicular to the lift handle under the appliance. Took a lot of trial and error to find the best position of wood & lift point so the appliance was mostly balanced. Also had a strap around the side of the appliance I could hold onto to help balance it. Then a friend pumped the jack handle. Was able to get the appliance up to 14 inches and set it on a temporary table. From there it was easy to lift it by hand the last 2 inches i needed.

Honestly I saw a similar product advertised on IG and thought hmmm I bet Amazon will have this for much less. Not only was it more affordable, I can trust the distributor knowing Amazon honors any product issues. So far I’ve used these to elevate our new fridge which is quite a large Stainless Steel & heavy upgrade. I was able to easily place only 1 of the 2 jacks under this heavy fridge and prop up the front so I could even put the legs. It requires hardly any hand strength. Within 2 minutes my fridge was propped, leveled & I placed the awesome new gadgets back in their box for the next project. I plan on using these to straighten out some doors in the house as well. I’m very handy but doors are always a nightmare when trying to level without a cool tool like this. Super happy with this new tool and would say it’s my new favorite!

We used it on heavy dressers, appliances, an armoire, heavy couch. Used 2 to jack up one side and hold to apply felt pads under. It cranked fine, held fine with no damage, and had covers for the feet to prevent floor damage. As other reviews said, it’s not buffered when you push the down button. It shoots all the way down hard, no gradual release or soft landing. Knowing this, we had one jack cranked to half height to catch the furniture (with humans around to prevent tipping). With that we could stair-step it down. Good tool, very useful. 1 star deduction for the unbuffered down function.
