Thank you for comment, Gregory :)

So true!

Thank you for your comment Frank. You are right. The real Viking Arm is a tool for professionals, making a huge difference in their way of working. Simplifying difficult and annoying task, and being a huge timesaver, money saver - and back saver. For most DYIers, they are often too expensive, unless they are into larger building/renovation projects. A tool just laying in the garage is a waste. The difference between the cheap (illegal) copies and the real original one are two different worlds. The cheap (and illegal) copies can be compared to the Viking Arm inventors initials tests of making inexpensive versions, before they found out they were dangerous, had limited lifespan and limited usefulness. They opted instead for making the ultimate tool they would have loved to have themselves.

Thanks again for your input Frank.

100% agree

Bench didn’t form itself buddy. Probably the same reason why these guys are killing it and you’re writing comments on RUclips 🤡 If you watched it till the end it work btw 😆

You don't use it together with the kit. The lifting pad is kind of a bonus. You use it on its' own to protect surface of the objects you lift, e.g. glass panels, tiles, dry wall, etc.

When you only need the Viking Arm to lift but still want rubber padding to protect what you are lifting. Slide the smallest padding over the Viking Arm "hips" and let the padding plate rest on the two lifting forks in the middle.

No greed. The inventors started out trying to make them cheap. But cheap is not quality (test the cheap copies vs. the real Viking Arm). Tests showed that making cheap versions with inferior material (like you often see now), would make the tool suddenly break/stop working, have limited lifespan and limited usefulness. Instead of following that route, the inventors opted for making the most useful tool they could make, and it became a tool for professionals. They just made their own dream tool. Compact and strong with a lot of safety margins due to extreme quality. You may say that one of our worries is that the real Viking Arm is of high quality if you look at it from a business perspective.

For that use, I could not justify the purchase either. It is a tool for professionals. Carpenters, construction workers, and installers of all kind. They usually earn back the investment in a day or a few weeks. Then you see it also is used in many many other areas. Like the film industry by set-builders, dolly-operators, museums that needs to lift heavy priceless object, in factories to lift heavy products they are making etc. The uses are endlessly. But expensive tool if it mostly left on a shelve.

Yes, it fits Wurth Viking Arm STRONG perfectly. Viking Arm STRONG is produced by Viking Arm company.

Your other hand, the Viking Arm(s), the doorframe, the hinges.... Hopefully, you are not planning to lean the door over a lot. You are trying to keep it straight so you hit the upper and lower hinges.

No greed. Quality just cost. The high quality makes it extremely versatile and able to solve an infinite number of tasks and challenges. Lower quality = Less useful and will break after some use (we have spent countless of hours testing material combinations). The initial price of a tool should not be your focus point, but what the investment will give you back in return. We have professionals and companies telling us they earned it back in everything from a day to a few weeks. Being a timesaver, manpower saver, back saver and problem solver.

Unfortunately, we don't have a distributor in Vietnam. You can order from one of the online stores www.vikingarm.com/where-to-buy/#international

Hi, have you bought and tested "the new designs"? Have you ever held the original Viking Arm in your hands?We would like to hear about your experience. Today we are delivering our tools to thousands of customers in 36 countries on 4 continents. It is definitely not a joke. P.S. Here are some "new designs all in metal" : ruclips.net/user/shortsTcGhCFM6-nE

@@viking_arm i have held the Viking arm in my hands. I have used it. I am not denying the quality of the tool. What i am critical of is the outrageous price. The tool is no joke, the price unequivocally IS! I can see $100 each, but when I am choosing between a Viking Arm and a high quality drill or saving for a planer, table saw or miter saw something is wrong there. Henry Ford said it best when he spoke of building them so EVERYONE could afford them.

@@Blingem14 Benjamin Franklin said "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten". The high quality makes the Viking Arm extremely versatile, precise and durable. There are a lot of testing behind the Viking Arm,. Cheaper combination of material makes it less versatile and also last for a shorter time, in addition to be prone to breakdowns (and both potential dangerous situations and need for repurchase). Yes, you can get cheap illegal copies" that can't do a fraction compared to the real Viking Arm. Note, it is not the price that are most important when it comes to investments, but what it gives you in return. Hence Benjamin Franklin's clever words. Please note that we are not pushing you to buy anything. We have all different needs.

@@viking_arm appreciate the conversation but the leading copy does what the Viking arm does. It has the incremental lowering. It is only rated for 260lb but that is more than needed for a tool of this nature.

What would be a fair price?

@@MadLadsAnonymous $100-125… still places a single Viking arm above the cost of any set of 2 of any competitors by far. Its effectively a slim jaw clamp mechanically. Even the highest end clamps are less than $100 each.

@@MadLadsAnonymous my hope is Bessey, Jorgensen, Dewalt or one of the other manufacturers come out with competition for this. This is an outrageous cost even for a well made tool.

I'm with you on it being overpriced.

Good tools are not cheap, often cheap tools are not good. I got a pair, I have a lot of Festool products, as a profesional that depnds on quality tools I understand that top quality and value are often similar.

Unfortunately, we don't have a distributor in China. You can order Cabinet Installation Kit from one of the online stores www.vikingarm.com/where-to-buy/#international

Thanks for your great feedback

🤣 Just as Benjamin Franklin said: ""The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten". Good luck and hope to see you on social media with the tool in use :)

@@viking_arm haha absolutely what a Stellar quote. It will definitely be on the list for some content. But they look so damn good I don’t want to use them.

Hi @AJolly. Let's fix this. 1. We use fine mineral oil of high quality. Like the special oil from Würth for compressed air tools. Art.nr 08930505 038 1. Similar mineral oil should be fine. Please DO NOT use oil with silicone or Teflon. We do not have experience with PTFE and would not recommend it. 2. DO NOT SAND off anything on the shaft. It may severely impact the functionality. The marks have probably no effect on the functionality, but impossible to be sure without testing. 3. Viking Arm DROPPING is usually due to excessive use of oil, wrong oil (containing silicon/teflon), or problem with the lock. Please make a short video of the Viking Arm from the side while operating and showing what goes wrong. Please mail the video to support@vikingarm.com and we will solve this.

Thank you for your sharing your experience, thoughts and insight Dave. Yes, the Viking Arm is expensive for a reason. High quality cost, and high quality makes it a lot more versatile, durable and with extra safety margins. The inventors made themselves their dream tool. It is an investment that will you save time, hassle and money if you are a professional or an avid DYIer.

The inventors had to choose between making a mediocre tool with limited uses and lifespan, or go for the dream tool they would have wanted themselves. Thankfully, they went for the high quality dream tool with unlimited number of uses, are safer, stronger, more accurate and will last for a long time. It's an investment that quickly save professional carpenters, installers and others a LOT of time, hassle, manpower, and their back. We hear that sometimes it has payed itself off in just one day, but more often in a couple of weeks. It all depends on what kind of work you do. To quote Benjamin Franklin "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten".

It is expensive because we wanted to make the ultimate versatile and durable tool. The cost of a tool is weighed up against what it can help you with, and how much time and manpower you save. This tool may not be for your kind of work, but professionals using it tells us the investment may be saved in from anywhere between a day and a few weeks. It is and investment, not a cheap use and throw tool. And believe us. If we could have made it a lot cheaper with the same quality, we would have been filthy rich.

Check out www.dargantools.com/ They are distributors of Viking Arm in Ireland. The "Extender" will be launched in September.

Hi. Würth and dargantools.com sells Viking Arm in Ireland. ITS sells in GB. The extender for cabinet installation is expected launched in the last part of 2022. Due to high interest, we expect the first production batch to become sold out “immediately”, but we will produce them as fast as we can.
