Vestil FJB-150 Basement Floor Jack, 54" - 150" Height Range, Maximum Height Capacity (lbs.) 2588, Minimum Height Capacity (lbs.) 11200

Best money I've spent. I have a second story deck so I needed something to extend over 12+ feet. (my other supports only extended to 8'). The deck is approaching 20 years old and in great shape, but being a 35' long by 12 wide deck 14 feet off of the ground and over a lower deck the same size, keeping an eye on the 8x8 supports is a yearly thing to be safe. Still "dead on level" after all of these years, 1 of my 8x8's on the corner has some minor splitting but also had a slight "bow to it" (the other supports don't get the weather as much as the exposed end support). I purchased 2 of these to support the corner on each side of the existing post to replace the corner 8x8. For safety, I did actually pour 2 piers below grade so they had a good base to support the deck while I removed and replaced the 14' tall corner support (and added a second one). These stayed in place prior to the replacement for months and did a fantastic job.

Has all the design features that make this a solid and easy to use jackpots. Much better than other models.

I looked at many different product options and this one seemed to be the best. After I received it and installed it, I can say this is a great support to use for problems with sagging beams. It is substantially heavy duty and you can easily fine tune the lift. The hardware is inside the tubes for shipping security. You will have confidence using this support.

Works and if you can get it on sale cheaper than a box store, then you don't have to even carry it to your house if you get free shipping, as it's long and heavy. . I also want to add that the people complaining about the box being ripped is ridiculous. Yeah, a perfect box would be nice in a perfect world, but this is the reality. . The pins are packed inside the tubes, so it would be hard to lose them even if the box were ripped in shipping. . Complaining about the tubes being loose is pointless because if they were tighter you would have a problem extending it, and it's meant to take vertical loads not horizonal loads so how lose a tube fits is a moot point. Also once enough force is placed on the tube, nothing moves around.

This is a very sturdy floor jack with a great adjustment range, making it useful for potentially many different projects. The ends tend to "walk" around the top and bottom surfaces when you attempt to tighten the big length adjustment screw, so plan on fastening the jack ends to both surfaces with 3/8" bolts. Holes are provided just for that purpose. I deduct one star because, as others have stated, the height setting pins fall out easily while you are trying to set the initial height (before pressure is applied). The 3/4" diameter hitch pins recommended by another reviewer DO NOT FIT THIS PRODUCT. I have ordered some 5/8" by 4+1/4" hitch pins (#014973159542) instead. Ideally, pins which cannot fall out would have been included with this product.
