“Hi-lift jacks are dangerous”  

They’re only dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing😂

The handle should be up to begin with.

If you gotta hit with a hammer, its time to get a hi lift rebuild kit. The load bearing pin bends over time and the climbing pins and springs wear down. Swap those out and use lithium grease or WD40 to lubricate

They aren't toys. A skill saw is dangerous too.

I wanna know more about that blender bottle 😂

Could just use it properly.

I carry one (can jack off sliders, front steel winch bumper, or rear steel swing out bumper) but try to use it as a last resort. Definitely some situations where it is advantageous but I try to use my heavy duty bottle jack if at all possible. I love seeing pretty much stock rigs with them even though they have no where to actually place it to use it lol. At this point they've sorta become the standard "off-road look" accessory for a lot of people.

You should play with chain snap binders in the rain or middle of winter

Almost all tools are dangerous when you don’t know how to use them properly and you don’t know how.

Me who watched a video on how to use one 😮 so-many others should too.

Mostly dangerous in the hands of the wrong person using it lol

know multiple people who have had their jaws broken by these

Youre not supossed to leave the bar in that position, soooo.

I've shot the handle through a windshield doing that exact same thing...

It says it on the instructions itself “don’t recommend using”

Used hi lift a long time. In alot of sketchy places doing sketchy things. Never felt scared about the equipment as I always maintenance it properly. Pmcs your equipment and know how to use it. Have a basic understanding of physics and know the limitations of this jack. If you dont respect it. You will find out why they are called widow makers. I would never use a "farm jack" hi-lift brand only. Also the safe jack attachment is great.

Out at the favorite mudhole years back and watched a fellow new to the sport break his jaw with a high lift. Was lowering and he didn't know to hold on tight...it snapped up caught him in the jaw and ripped him open to his chin. What a nasty mess.

The bar was trying to ask a question.

You know what im talking about like like the BLUNDER BOTTLES like forget to uhhhh

Amazing how life is worth nothing because You cant use spray lube

If you need to hit it with a hammer it hasn't been properly maintained.

Yeah so are cars , guns , people...we'll almost everything.

If you used it properly the. You won’t have that problem

Hi lift jacks hurt people like spoons make people fat. The title of this video should be “I should never own a jack”

Oh hey Patch! Gotta love a sticky Hi-Lift! 🤦‍♂️

This is why I came up with the #TaulerJack

11 stitches later😊

Was in the 80s also don't use it or have someone show you how to use it

Can you imagine if your testicles are in the way of that handle 😢

Watched my dad get his thumb crushed when I was a kid😑

Dump some oil on that thing good as new

Id argue most things are dangerous if you are dumb. That car for instance moves at highway speed and weighs 2 tons. Not knowing how to use the jack isn't a knock on the jack.

Hey pud, use the palm of your hand to smack the release. You need practice.

🤦‍♂️

Maybe you should watch a video or two

This guy is clueless!

Yeah if you don't use common sense!...
