[QUOTE="BobL, post: 1486509, member: 14206"] Yep I agree the hi-lift needs a higher degree of respect compared to other jacks. I have been hit full on the elbow by the handle and it felt like it was broken! Also the way the lift mechanism drops when the load is taken off it can be really nasty. Most people that get into trouble with these (and other jacks too) are trying to free lift things too far in the one shot. The way to do it safely is, lift a bit - provide support, lift more- provide more support, lift more- provide more support etc and don't be greedy! [/QUOTE]
