Sebupar Wall Jack, Portable Wall Jacks for Framing, Use with 1-1/2 X 3-1/2 in Fir Poles Or 1 in Od Steel Pipe, Malleable Casting Iron Wall Jack for Lifting Wall Beams, Capacity of Lifting 1,000 lbs

The media could not be loaded. I picked up this wall jack to help with a framing project in my basement, and let me tell ya - it's a sturdy little beast! The casting iron construction feels solid and durable, like it could withstand a lifetime of heavy lifting. Which is good, because this thing is rated to hoist up to 1,000 lbs. That's a lot of wall! Using it is pretty straightforward, but it does take some setup. You'll need to have a 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch fir pole and a 1 inch steel pipe on hand (heads up - those aren't included). Once you've got your pole mounted and a kickplate in place to keep it steady, it's just a matter of pumping the handle up and down to lift your wall. Simple, but definitely a workout! Now, the manufacturer recommends using two of these jacks for larger walls, and I can see why. Trying to lift a big ol' wall solo with just one of these is doable, but it's not for the faint of heart (or weak of arm). I definitely broke a sweat getting my 8-foot wall up, even with a buddy on the other end. One thing I really appreciate is that this jack is weather-resistant. I accidentally left it outside overnight after a long day of framing, and it was none the worse for wear in the morning. Rust? What rust? The only real downside I've found is that the handle can get a bit sticky sometimes. I had to really put my back into it a few times to get it moving smoothly. A little WD-40 helped, but it was still a bit of a nuisance. All in all, this wall jack is a solid choice for DIY framing projects. It's built like a tank, does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't mind a little rough weather. Just be prepared to put in some manual labor - this isn't a "set it and forget it" kinda tool. Oh, and maybe hit the gym before tackling any monster walls solo - your biceps will thank you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Works good

The media could not be loaded. Before building our backyard tool shed, we watched a lot of videos and saw the wall jack tool recommended by others. It's really practical and made from ver sturdy material. The tool is a little bit heavy, and if you’re like me and haven’t used it before, you might find it confusing at first. I recommend watching some online videos about it. Once you do, you’ll see that it’s easy to use and super handy.When we were lifting frames, this tool was indispensable. Otherwise, we would have needed additional help for that step. To use it, insert a lever through the wall jack, lock it to hold the frame in place, then insert a rod into the side hole and press down to lift the frame. The entire process can be done by one person without much effort, and it holds the frame very steadily. So far, we've used it to lift frames, and it’s been handy. It’s a good helper for DIY projects.

Building a tree house by myself and could not lift the walls. Building out in a rural area, I also didn't have a bunch of neighbors to come help me lift it. I tried calling 6 different equipment rental companies in Sonoma County, California and none of them offered wall jacks. These showed up from Amazon next day and let me continue to make progress. Very easy to use after watching some youtube examples. Our tree house is almost done!To prevent the walls from sliding away as they were raised, I used leftover building material metal strapping nailed into the subfloor and into the bottom plate which held the bottom plate in place but allowed it to rotate as the wall stood up.
