Massca Viking Arm Hand Lifting Tool Jack - Hand Jack Lift Tool for Installing Cabinets, Flooring & Windows, Heavy-Duty Arm Lifting Guide for Frameworks Stainless Steel 330 lb Weight Capacity

Product was NOT as described, Poor quality. Doesn't appear to be original Viking Arm The first 2 photo's are what was delivered broken at the base (poor weld quality). Not the same as images advertised , and appears to be a copy of the Viking Arm(images 3 & 4).

I needed to be able to easily move my console piano from time to time across hardwood floor. (piano has 2 of those little metal wheels that are useless!) We can use furniture pads - but have to lift the piano and place them in the right place. With this I can put it to the side of piano and easily lift one side just enough to position pad and take all the time I need to do so. Then it has a button to GENTLY lower it in very small increments and repeat for other end of piano. The 'fit and finish' of this thing is as close to perfect as I've ever seen on a tool. nothing to snag or scratch. The parts are obviously strong, well designed, well made. I've 'heard' there are less expensive ones, but I've also heard complaints about their robustness. And some I looked at had the 'down feature' but not the 'jack down gently' feature. This is built to do it's job and probably then some. Given my primary purpose was to move a valuable musical instrument, I didn't want rough action that might drop, detune, or otherwise not be as gentle as I needed. This is perfect for the job and I expect it will last a lifetime. I don't regret spending the money and getting top quality at all.

These are the real ones they are not the cheap imitation or copied ones !!I have been thinking about buying these for a few years and final broke down and bite the bullet. I don’t know why I waited so long. I’m a cabinet maker and installer and these make you life easier and save you time and money and use the to install pocket doors that are 4 feet wide and 2 1/4 thick and 8 feet 6 inches tall and weigh about 150 plus pounds all solid wood doors we made . The Vikings lifted them like nothing and easy to lower them down with the slow lowing button that lowers down less than a 1/16 at a time. I also use them to install heavy wall panels on one of my jobs and working perfectly and them Panels hang on a French cleat . They are worth every penny!!!

Absolute garbage! This is NOT Viking Arm! Complete lies!!! The product arrived broken and is very poor quality! Would not even use it to lift a tissue box!!!

This product is worth every penny it cost. Don't be fooled by the junk from China that claims to be a viking, they are not. They are made from cheap stamped metal and have no place in my tool collection. The Viking is beautifully made and operates super smoothly, both up and down. I used it immediately to quickly lift one side of my large bed platform to allow me to remove a heavy build up of dust that accumulated of the past few years. Also used it to lift one side of my large tread mill to finally clean under the platform, and to reposition the floor pads under the feet very accurately. Really worked great and using the left lever to slowly lower this heavy machine precisely while placing foot pads. Plan on using this when changing garbage disposals for friends, it is always a hassle to get under the sink and try to lift a large 1 HP disposal. With the Viking Arm this will be super easy letting the Viking do the heavy lifting. Viking Arm can also easily lift my woodworking equipment including one end of 500 pound workbench to turn castors so they don't stick out and get kicked. Just a few uses in first day of owning the Viking, and plan on using it to hang cabinets and installing cabinet draws. Great product that will last a life time and then some.
