Ratings & Reviews for Akron 56-in Adjustable Jack Post

Quality product, good price

I bought one of these stanchions to test it in application, one person could get the job done, but easier and faster with two people. When extended around the 6.5 to 7 foot range only one hole for cross bolt will line up. Otherwise to get full capacity you will have to drill extra holes once you know your required setting. When applying the jack post (stanchion) it is easier to have the adjustment screw on the bottom near the floor, although I see in photos where it is applied both ways. I read ...

So easy!

I installed this in my cellar, under my living room. The living room floor had a slight "bounce" to it when we walked across the center of the room. I installed this myself with only a wrench and a step ladder. It took all of 5 minutes from start to finish. The parts were well made and the instructions were simple. It's was so easy! And the living room floor is very sturdy now.

Simple

My hubby and I are no handymen, but it was easy to use this to prop up our old house. 10 minutes to go from box to beam. Now our bedroom doors close. Should have done this ages ago.

decent quality, but the price has doubled, in the

i actually returned these, as i had some in the cellar. the price was still on them, and it was half what they are going for now...i do not see them being twice as good, as a matter of fact, they are the same.... they do the job, but i am looking for a less expensive alternitive

Easy to use Floor Jack

It is easy to use and works well. I applied a lot of force to the floor joist yet the jack held up.

Easy to use.

I used four steel post jacks on my front porch, because I needed to replace seven rotted wooden posts And replace the railings With PVC. I jacked up the roof very easily and safely.

Steel Floor Jack

Product well made, easy to adjust, easy to install.

Plates are very flimsy. There's not enough to grab when tightening.

great product

I used this to level a floor by jacking up sagging floor joists. It worked like a charm.

Holds up my house!

Used these jacks to level a sinking bathroom floor in my 30+ year-old home. The previous owner had installed a new toilet and, for some unknown reason, had cut right through a floor joist to run the plumbing. I could not replace the joist without replacing all the plumbing, so I used 2 of these jacks to raise the floor after blocking the neighboring joists together. They worked great and the floor is super-sturdy now. A little cumbersome to put together but a very sturdy, solid product!

good value for lightweight product

This product would be better if the top and bottom were able to be fixed to the jack. Each time I had to move it, the top and/or bottom would come off. Overall I was satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it except in the case of someone needing a more permanent application.

Perfect solution for additional support

The floor jacks were the perfect solution for the additional support I need to use the attic of my workshop for storage. A simple 2X8 beam with these floor jacks greatly increased the load bearing capacity of my attic.

Unimpressed

The product package was undamaged yet the outer tube had been damaged before packaging. It was significantly ovaled to the point that the inner tube would not slip inside it. Fortunately I was able to reshape the tube in a vise. Additionally, the jackscrew threads were damaged which required reforming to allow the jack to operate smoothly.
