Tools We Like: Hi-Lift Jack

When we picked up the project skiff to bring it back to the shop, the boat and trailer had been sitting outside for about four years. The trailer axle was completely buried in the sand, so we broke out the Hi-Lift Jack with the optional lift-mate. We used the Jack to pick it up, put air in the tires and moved it out where we could work on it. The trailer tongue-jack was also broken on this trailer, and we used the Hi-Lift to pick up the trailer tongue to hook onto the truck. The Hi-Lift Jack is a very versatile tool that can also be used to recover a boat that's come off the trailer accidentally. Taking the Hi-Lift Jack with us when we’re trailering has helped us out of a jam several times. It's a single tool that takes the place of three or four others.
