Post by LGM »

Just throwing this out there... TSC has their Torin Big Red 48" (7000lb) farm jack on sale. I know it isn't a hi-lift but it does the same thing right?

Reg price $99.99, 50% off. $49.99

The 60" is on for $64.99

I don't know man, the farm jacks are the lowest end of the spectrum I suppose in "jack" talk. Typically the finish is not a nice and the mechanisms although similar have a higher tendency towards jamming. That being said, I have been using my Masdaam Jack all with minimal issues. For 50 bucks....and periodic use, I just may go get one for a back up, and use in the trailer........If you are going to be using it alot for off roading et al, I would probably save your bucks until you can pick up a Hi-lift extreme or something.....inho of course :teeth:

:agree: Sliders would be sweet.

I couldn't find any reviews oddly enough on these Torins big red jacks. But if the difference between the two brands is only a few bucks for quality, then disregard this post lol.
