Nice find! Tip: Even though they might be called "high speed" drill bits, drilling steel is always better when the bit is turning much slower. "High speed" when cutting steel is measured in inches per minute. The bits will stay sharp longer, too. Most any machinist will tell you likewise.

@jamesotisjr2322 4 года назад

if you drill correctly - low RPM, high pressure - you get spirals. if you get chips you are over revving the drill. around here they fix the streets by adding a layer of pavement, but do not fill the notch where drainage happens. intersections become wheel chocks. that thing would snag and bend the triancle the jack bolts to.

2 words "Step Bit". Really slick on thin steel with a pilot hole.

@SkylarHillShop 6 лет назад

Looks slick especially if you're unhooking in different locations frequently. My trailers only get unhooked when parked at home. So the old scrap of 6X6 works for me. Thanks for sharing!!

It would be great to have a second slip pin or toggle to lock unit straight up and down to prevent collapsing on a hill . Great invention ,it took some thought .

@dlc2724 2 года назад

I was thinking the same. Looks like it would fold under if trailer gets bumped forward

@jedclampett6466 2 года назад

That's what wheel chocks are for.

@jaywilliams415 2 года назад

Save your $35! One major thing missing here is the FlipJack being used while hitched to the truck's hitch (Note that this demonstration is done while the trailer is being supported by a tall wood post and not on a truck)! I bought one of these a few months ago and it makes a dandy shelf decoration since it actually will not work unless you have a serious lift on your truck!

@timanderson725 3 года назад

WARNING... I purchase one of these for my camper and breaking down one day, it folded in. Luckily no one got hurt and nothing broke but it was very scary to think what might have happened if someone was standing near the tung of the trailer when this happened. When I contacted the company to let them know about the design issue, I was told "you need to use wheel chocks with our product". What I did was to drill hole through the device so I could add a pin through it when it is in the down position. This way, it can not fold up if it rocks. This has resolved my issue and I am very pleased with the product now.

@uhmgawa6533 2 года назад

Just noticed the regrettable choice of that Big Defex trailer. They are slapped together hastily with self drilling deck screws into the frame cross members which sloppily land at random locations. For those you can't free from rust seizing, you'll need to grind off and drill adjacent holes in the already skimpy frame member. Those which you manage to eek out will require pilot drilling from below and for all that effort you'll retain the drunken assembly motif. Otherwise it is more holes in the creaky frame to seat carriage bolts. I believe the primary engineering goal of those horrible trailers was disposal over maintaining. And repeat sales of the thing to those who haven't wised up after the first dose.

@Kerry70 4 года назад

Drill slower when drilling metal and use some lubricant to help from overheating.the drill bit.

@SuperDeeredriver 4 года назад

Mild steel doesn't need lube if drilled at a lower speed, if the drill bit is sharp enough 85% of the heat should come out in the chips

@thomasme9676 4 года назад

@@SuperDeeredriver You know what your talking about. The other problem is the pilot bit size too big for 1/2.

@dennis8445 6 лет назад

I just cut the handle off and welded on a 3/4 nut. I lower and raise the trailer with my drill.

@jeffthomas6242 3 года назад

Dennis I kinda did the same thing to mine about 5 yrs ago, but because I don’t have a welder I used a fender washer and a cotter pin through the same hole the handle used and use my drill. Your way is better because if you don’t watch it when it gets to the end it will shear off the cotter pin. But I think our way is the best way of all of them.

@bmc81 6 лет назад

Thats a nice looking addition to a trailer. However, we just got back from a 5 week trip down south and east. This would have been ripped off on some of the places I had to get into. As it was I scraped chains and my post hanging down. And yes my trailer rides completely flat as we have our trike inside of it. Some of the places you have to get into do not think about trailers coming into their lots including Camping World.

I had a welder take a piece of 6" channel and welded it across the 2 main channels half way further back and then mounted my jack. This way I can lower my tailgate with plenty of room without hitting the jack.

@FranksBmwAdv 4 года назад

but does it give you any extra clearance when stowed? my trailer leg always scrapes on humps in and out of some gas stations.

I put one on our travel trailer. Less time putting the electric Jack up and down. We got the 1600lb one for the travel trailer. Very nice addition.

@kav59 6 лет назад

I used one for a year and half. You have to be careful, if you trailer rolls forward at all it will fold and drop to the ground. There’s no way to lock it when it’s folded down.

@deltabravo1257 4 года назад

DITTO. They are dangerous. I had one fold up on me when I was unhooking on level ground.

@danromeo3913 4 года назад

Looks to me If the trailer rolls forward it might be able to fold over ?

@joulemine 6 лет назад

We had one of these on the travel trailer we just sold. Super handy and makes it a little faster to hook and unhook. It's really nice on those spots tough to hitch the truck, when the normal jack wouldn't of reached. I also carried a 4x6 when it was too low that it had to bend, to stop dirt getting into the hinge. Great suggestion BTW -Thomas

@jamesmcalexander7896 2 года назад

@DragonPilot 4 года назад

If you're on, say, an upsloping parking pad and you can't extend the Flip Foot all the way, simply get those pieces of 2x4 your carry around, fold the Flip Foot at the "knee" (which is at about the half-way point), then lower the jack pipe onto the block(s) of wood. Works perfectly, and is very stable. Lower your 4-corner stabilizers and you're done!

@motorcyclemichael2182 4 года назад

Wouldn’t work on my sloped driveway as it would drag going in and out. Also looks to be bolted kinda loosely which means rattling going down the road. I’ll stick with a cheap wood block, one on my garage floor and one in my vehicle

I understand the convience of this, by not having to have a block of wood. I just wonder how sturdy this is. Makes me wonder why he didn't show it longer when all the weight of the trailer is on it. Of course, he installed it on a light weight utility trailer. I wonder how it would hold up on my 16' tandem axle cargo trailer that probably weighs out at 5000 lbs?

@blainederouen9977 3 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. Mine probably weighs out about the same. I'm sure their is a weight limit on the package.

a drop jack. had one once. loved it. now i use an aluminum harbor freight jack under my trailer jack.

@starreveiled 6 лет назад

Watching the video the Reese jack that you had swapped out previously.had the holes already drilled out for the jack foot.when you installed the Reese jack you could have turned the triangle bolt plate to where the holes on bottom faced towards the sides and not forward.it seems to have worked by watching the video. I wasn't there but it looked to have worked.

@davidschomp4328 6 лет назад

I'm wondering what would happen if the trailer tried to roll forward when it was disconnected from the truck? It kinda looks like it might not resist the forward movement very much and fold forward.

@FastwayTrailer 6 лет назад

+David Schomp, it is always a good idea to chock your trailer, whether you're using the Flip foot or not. Don't rely on your tongue jack to keep your trailer from moving. Tongue jacks themselves are designed to take a lot of vertical load, but side or lateral load will damage the jacks as well. With a properly chocked trailer, you can use the Flip on unlevel ground up to a 5% grade, which is plenty for most locations you would park a trailer.

@alanminnema6778 3 года назад

The handle needs to fold over the other side to lock the tongue jack in place. You can spin the handle to the side and then fold it all the way over the other side. I have seen these things spin and lower themselves when driving down the road.

@RH-ib7bg 6 лет назад

6x6 is free, faster and way less hassle. I got excited there for a second though.

@BigTruckBigRV 6 лет назад

How would a 6x6 be less of a hassle? You have to load and unload it, plus you trailer can slide off of it and it must be used on a level surface. The Flip automatically lowers and raises without any additional user input.

@bugatti314159 6 лет назад

This does not look safe or practical at all unless you are always on perfectly level flat surfaces. It could slide easily unless your wheels are very well chocked and may not accommodate a moderately sloped surface since there is no way to adjust the length. I'll stick with my home built modular wood blocks. They work flawlessly anywhere and are dirt cheap to make.

You will have better results using the correct technique for drilling thru metal...slow rotation, lots of pressure and a drop or two of cutting oil. Just sayin'. What about using a wheel under this gadget? I like to be able to hand roll my trailers in case I need to move em over a bit. Hmmm...back to the drawing board.

@benjaminlovato283 6 лет назад

With the original jack, why didn't you just unbolt it and turn it 60 degrees. Handle now out of the way. And the new toy seems likely to fall on a slope. A step drill bit would work better to drill through the metal. Just my opinion.
