Best poor mans winch ever made. My manger hunting partner thought we were finished when truck stuck in creek elk hunting. I pulled out 2 jackalls, hooked up a couple logging chains and told him start pumping. In 5 minutes we were out of the creek.
He was so impressed asked his wife to buy him a jackall for Christmas.

Yep. I carry a 48" with a hook on the lifter and a clevis on the top. Takes a while but works in a pinch.

I have three and have used them a lot for lifting and levelling buildings. (This lazyman’s go to jack rather than puling out my heavy hydraulic jacks.) Even used one to straighten our bridge beams.

Unfortunately possibly the best but most dangerous jack there is. I’ve bent/seized one and a couple times had them suddenly release and let the building’s weight slam down. I’ve heard that they’ve done some nasty damage to people’s heads too.

Default jackall

Kin, is correct, used improperly like lifting a vehicle then crawling under without blocking very dangerous. However extremely handy jack in the woods ( Used with care)

Jackalls got me twice- one time I had a car lifted, bent over the front of the car, handle went down, came up 400x as fast and lifted me off the ground by my chin. Worst uppercut ever.

2nd time I was moving an addition, huge jack was standing against the wall. I knelt under to move a block and the damn thing fell over, the very end of it caught me right on top of my head. I remember the ride to the hospital, buddy was driving me, someone went to pass in the right land and nearly passed out when I turned and looked at them, blood pouring down my face.

That was a bad day, 2 days before my wedding, the Dr. did his best to cover the stitches lol
