This is a very sturdy floor jack with a great adjustment range, making it useful for potentially many different projects. The ends tend to "walk" around the top and bottom surfaces when you attempt to tighten the big length adjustment screw, so plan on fastening the jack ends to both surfaces with 3/8" bolts. Holes are provided just for that purpose. I deduct one star because, as others have stated, the height setting pins fall out easily while you are trying to set the initial height (before pressure is applied). The 3/4" diameter hitch pins recommended by another reviewer DO NOT FIT THIS PRODUCT. I have ordered some 5/8" by 4+1/4" hitch pins (#014973159542) instead. Ideally, pins which cannot fall out would have been included with this product.

I looked at many different product options and this one seemed to be the best. After I received it and installed it, I can say this is a great support to use for problems with sagging beams. It is substantially heavy duty and you can easily fine tune the lift. The hardware is inside the tubes for shipping security. You will have confidence using this support.

We have a very old home and unfortunately the weight of so many added kitchen items was causing our floor to sag, resulting in the ceiling above to crack. We have several 6’ floor jacks in place in our basement but due to us adding a new hutch/pantry to our kitchen, the weight was just too much. We ordered the jacks late on a Friday night and they were delivered on Monday. Just to let others know, the pieces that go through the pipe to hold it in place are packaged and are inside one of the pipes. So make sure to look before fretting that they’re not there. Stood the pipe up and placed it under the beam and cranked it up, placing the plate of the pipe up tight under the beam. With an extra crank or two it helped lift the kitchen floor up, which it turn lifted the kitchen ceiling. I can breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you!

I bought this floor jack but no parts such as screws and bolts are included in package.

Item is better than expected. Very robust, simple to use and like title suggests, it’s a “proper job”

Updated - The below mentioned issue with the pins was solved by purchasing the Fastener 014973159566 Swivel Hitch Pin, 3/4 x 4-1/4-Inch on Amazon. I paid $7.34 ea. and purchased eight for my two Vestil FJB-150 Floor Jacks. I have included the pics of the pins and they work and fit perfect. If you wanted to save some extra money you could also go to the local hardware and get Grade 8 3/4inch by 4 inch bolds and just drill a hole in the end and put in a R-Cotter pin.Purchased two of the Vestil FJB-150 Basement Floor Jacks and as far as the jack itself it is well made and for the price is of good quality BUT the major flaw is the pins that they supply with the jack is a joke. It is a approx. 5/8" diameter pin with a groove cut on each end. When you try to move the jack into place the pins can easily move out of the holes. It would have cost them nothing to just drill a hole in each end of the pin and supply a pair of Hitch Pins Clips or R Clip Cotter Pins to go into the holes which would keep the pins in place when moving or adjusting the jacks. Something that for a couple of cents would have made the jack a five-star item year round. Overall the jack is a good investment as long as you spend a couple of dollars to fix the pin issue that the manufacturer could not bother to do!

Works and if you can get it on sale cheaper than a box store, then you don't have to even carry it to your house if you get free shipping, as it's long and heavy.. I also want to add that the people complaining about the box being ripped is ridiculous. Yeah, a perfect box would be nice in a perfect world, but this is the reality.. The pins are packed inside the tubes, so it would be hard to lose them even if the box were ripped in shipping.. Complaining about the tubes being loose is pointless because if they were tighter you would have a problem extending it, and it's meant to take vertical loads not horizonal loads so how lose a tube fits is a moot point. Also once enough force is placed on the tube, nothing moves around.
