There is a lot of misleading information out there, so here are the facts.

Hi-Lift® Jacks are multipurpose recovery tools designed to do more than just lift. Their value is in their ability to lift, winch, spread, hoist, clamp, etc. – at prices that range from $85 – $130. No other jack on the market can do everything a Hi-Lift® can do. No other jack on the market gives you the same dependable versatility at a reasonable price.

As with any tool, it’s important to educate yourself on safe use procedures and operating instructions before using any jack, because they ALL are inherently dangerous if not operated correctly – hydraulic or mechanical.
