I had these in my wish list for three years, couldn’t pull the trigger. The price came down. Camel camel camel… I’ve used them time wise… half an hour since I’ve gotten them. LOVE! Leveled the fridge. Got a 450 lb powermatic drill press on a movable base. Did I mention that I LOVE?!
I needed a jack and debated on the "fake" ones. I'd feel stupid spending $200 on one . . . . but I'd feel dumber buying a crappy tool. I bought the real one before watching this but this video would have sealed the deal.
That’s what I thought but the difference comes in when you’re lifting something heavy and you need to lower it gradually. Lifting isn’t the issue. It’s the micro lowering that makes all the difference.
@@crownmoldingbyspectaculart941 yes I totally agree with you. For professional use I see the usefulness.. but even though I have probably thousands of £ worth of tools , 200+ is rather expensive and you need at least 2..
@@stevenrolfe1918 I agree 100%. I ended up buying a second one and it was painful to buy. I carry both in the field and I rarely use them but they’re appreciated when I need them. I bought the cheap ones hoping they would work but they were just modified caulking guns
It would have been good to see the fake try and lift something. , Still wont be buying the Viking arm as its way over priced as well as the fact that I made something similar out of car jacks 20 years ago
The benefit of the Viking arm one is the micro lowering aspect. I recently had to lift up a large credenza to place sliders under it. The furniture was loaded with China and glassware. Lifting was no problem but once it was time to lower it that’s where this thing shines. I clicked the micro lower control and like a car jack it didn’t just drop the weight uncontrollably.
I made my using a strong clamps from Irwin. These Viking arm is like a clamp instead of clamping they are pushing. My work just as good and I save at least $150.

10 x more expensive though.. for occasion use the cheap version is okay

The key to the Viking arm is the ability to lower something and adjust in micro amounts. No other clamp I’ve seen has that
