Viking Arm Handheld Jack Bar Clamp Labor Saving Tool Lift Up to 330 lbs (150 kg)

Other than price the Viking Arm was flawless and functioned as advertised 100%. Used to install 25 8’ solid core, wood, fire rated commercial doors. Jacked up with one hand and set top reveal with my thumb. As expected it still looks and operates like it did out of the box.You definitely get what you pay for very well designed and constructed. Not hard to imagine or assume the issues you would have with the other knock offs for 1/4 of the price.

As others have noted this tool is over priced, but not horribly overpriced as some have complained. This is a quality and precision tool that is much better quality than the $40 - $100 models that are out there. I purchased two different models of the cheaper variety and there is no comparison with regard to quality of materials and construction. It also has a ratchet down feature that none of the other products I've seen support. That is very handy when you need to lower a load that is close to the lift limit.I do agree that the manufacturer could charge less and still make good money on the product, but compared to the price of other products out there, this one is worth allot more than the $100 units.I highly recommend this product.

The Viking Arm, while it seems pricey is fully worth it if you are a DIY person. It is VERY sturdy and works easily. From helping to level appliances, cabinets, or just holding a sheet of drywall while you fasten, it is that extra set of lift hands you need and often don’t have.

There are a lot of copies, but the real thing is very nice.

As a one man band professional house painter I move a lot of furniture. The heaviest furniture is easily moved around with furniture sliders. The trick is being able to lift the furniture onto the sliders. 99% of the time it's not an issue. Sometimes with fully loaded entertainment centers or large pieces, the weight can be too much for one person. I've been looking at these Viking Arm lifters for awhile, on the fence because of the cost. Finally broke down and bought one after facing a crazy heavy bedroom set. 100% glad I did. The Viking arm out of the box felt solid and first thing I did was lift a heavy piece of furniture in my own house. Eureka, it did the trick! Easily. For me, paying $200 for a way to avoid an injury and losing time from work is worth it.

Great product

Don't buy the Chinese knock-offs. This one works.In addition, think about how you'd use it. If you think you'll be able to fine-adjust the knock-offs, think again. There is no incremental down button on these. It's either pump up, or down all the way. The Viking jack has an incremental down button.I bought one to see how well it works. I'll be ordering a second later today.

This is a bit pricy, But this will last a lifetime. It has the best micro adjustments. I've tried several other jacksand this is absolutely the best! I install cabinets for a living and if your looking into this tool as a professional purpose, its a must. I can not ever go back to installing with out this tool!!
