The ARB jack *will* *leak* *if* *stored* *sideways* and destroy your interior, ARB will not cover the damages and take weeks to process a refund. It's junk, whereabouts are you meant to keep it stored vertically in your car?
Yep I know of someone who ordered one and when it arrived all the oil hd leaked in to the packaging, And anoth youtuber has trapped his fingers with one and the Handle has since broken off of the ARB jack, It's not a good jack and it is not Australian made, I would rather a Hi-Lift any day.
My first one died in a week, used it a fair few times but something happened where wouldn't stay up like the release button was on. The replacement has been laying sideways for a year and had been used a few times and is still good. I use simple little bottle Jack's too.
Don't throw away the scissor jack, there are times when it is the only one you can get under the vehicle to begin lifting. Once it is up enough then switch to a hydraulic bottle jack. The extension jack is a great idea. That is going on my shopping list for sure.
The scissors jacks are the worst, once, the one I had, became bend under the cars. I was lucky to still have the tires on....do not even attempt to use it. The hydraulic bottle is better.
@@Salvatore-r3v I wouldn't use one for ordinary jacking but there are times when a bottle jack just won't go under, so scissor jacks can get the vehicle up enough to use a bottle jack.
@@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen yap, you are right, in fact my Honda is about 45 cm high. Most of cars wouldn't fit a bottle underneath, beside, the round top of the bottle has not the dimension to fit into the area designed for. I usually put the bottle jack where the swinging arms join the frame. Strong enough to don't brake anything.
Agogica Scissor jacks like hydraulic jacks, they too have ratings in lbs/Tons you know, they should not bend or gets damaged if you were using them according to weight of the vehicle & the lift rating specified.
Someone has already mentioned it, but that GU jack you could cut down a handle and chuck it in a cordless drill. I do the same kind of thing with my normal scissor car jacks at home, put a 1/2" socket adapter in the drill and a socket on the end, then use that to make the jack go up and down. One thing you kind of didn't factor into this video are the different situations as to why you would need to use the jack. High lift style jacks can be useful for lifting your car up if it becomes stuck, being able to hook it under a bullbar/slider/rear bar etc. Good luck trying to use a bottle/trolley jack if your vehicle is bottomed out to the chassis!
10T Bottle Jack + Roadsafe Kit is the Best, most compact and lightest. A rubber spacer block can be a good addition, as well as a block of wood with bolts to stop slippage.
I prefer the Hi-Lift, In over 40 years I have never had a near miss with one, A Hi-Lift is only dangerous if used incorrectly, master them and you will never have a problem, Once I got stuck in the Bush cross Axled towing a Trailer and I really needed a Hi-Lift because my Wheels were a metre in the Air Trouble is I never had a Hi-Lift on board Since then I have always carried one, Each to his Own Ay.
Question: The provided instructions say not to store the ARB Jack on its side or it will leak. Yet they are all shipped on their side. They also are stored on their side at the distribution warehouse and in delivery trucks. Mine arrived covered in oil because of these reasons. Further, how are we to store the Jack outside the vehicle if it comes in a storage bag that is without mounting hardware and which causes one to assume that the Jack is to be stored IN the vehicle, where it almost always can only be stored on its side, because of its height? Why isnt there mounting hardware specific to the Jack, designed/sold by ARB that is 1) meant to be mounted on exterior and that, 2) incorporates theft resistant features (e.g. lockable hardware)? I'm in the states. These are very popular here but that is changing quickly. I just returned from the Overland Expo and my question above, includes the 2 most heard complaints about this product and are the reasons why so many are now turning to other products. The number 1 complaint however: storing this on its side should not allow oil to leak/this is a very poor design feature! I love ARB but this is money I'm now seeing that was poorly spent, due to an incomplete design and a lack of mounting options, which ARB should've addressed prior to releasing this product. ARB, please address these 3 things, or I fear ARB will see this products interest lose steam. ARB is a solid company but the mark was missed on this one big time.
In in the states we like to call the hi lift jack ..mechanic killers ...but i love them never ever had a problem also make a great winch as you stated but really its all about personal preference
HiLift jacks are not dangerous, people who use them use have not been properly trained. It's by far the best jack for offroad use when it comes to the intersection of cost and versatility.
I understand your dislike of the Hi-Lift, I also think it's totally unfounded. They are the Leatherman of off-road recovery tools. They do a lot ok, but don't particularly shine in any one department. In this day and age where we're contantly fighting GVM, every KG saved is a good one. You need to consider taking things that are multipurpose. What else can jack, winch, bend straight bent steering components, break a tyre bead etc? Like anything, they're only as dangerous as the operator allows them to be. Also do yourself a favour, use an original and not a Chinesem knock off, I haven't come across a good one yet.
Totally agree, the Hi Lift or even better the original Jackall mk 2, both climbing pin jacks are worth having, And yes they are 'potentialy' dangerous, but so are circular saws kitchen knives and hammers. If you weren't blessed with enough common sence to use a climbing pin jack with out getting hurt you probably should stay home.
I’ve researched a lot about a hi-lift jacks and seen all the pros and cons. My conclusion is I should probably get one. Sure they’re dangerous but so is a chainsaw and a table-saw, which I have both and they are two of the most useful tools on the planet.
use solid oak wood beams cut into blocks then use the blocks for added ground clearance giving bottle neck jack more height did this with jeep grand cherokee which by accident shifted off the bottle neck jacks only because it was not well centred the end of the bottle neck base was a bit on the edge of the wooden block which is enough for the corners of the wood to compress from heavy load and reason to put it well centred on a wooden block i made solid wooden oak ramps which is a bit heavy but very solid enough to carry the load of any suv 2 Esdras 4:1-100
You didn’t cover the exhaust Jack it’s a smelly dirty tool but it’s handy. I like a small strong bottle jack to you can even drive off them if necessary getting some nice tight places. But I will always use a highlift Jack I’ve been using them for more than two decades and are safe enough as long as you know what you’re doing and give it to respect it deserves. I’ve even use the highlift Jack to pull someone’s steering wheel out of there chest in order to get them out of the rolled vehicle. The highlift Jack is a multi tool and comes with many accessories . Can be a lot safer to use with the right accessories in the right situations. The Arb Jack is a nice Jack, but it Has’s to be stored up right and with the fluid it’s not so good in freezing cold temperatures as I live in the Rocky Mountains in Canada I know it’s struggles in this situation. I like how effortless it lifts a vehicle however put in the conditions I put it in it’s not ideal.
The hydraulic bottle jack is the best I have tried. Once I put it under the strongest point underneath my Honda CRV, I lift it while by while, then I work under with the standing jacks on . The scissors jacks are the worst, once, the one I had, became bend under the cars. I was lucky to still have the tires on....
when u r in a muddy situation the only way to lift your car is using either a hi-lift or hydraulic hi-lift, trust me you won't be able to get under the car.
DASH OffRoad I have been off-roading 21 years. Learned a trick or two over those years. I will not deny the inherent dangers of a hi lift jack, but it is no doubt the most versatile jack/tool and imo the best one to have in the bush
You should learn to use a high lift jack properly before you disregard it. No good half setting it up. That was a rubbish attempt. Set it up right and it will lift that wheel a foot off the ground safely. Push tyres off beads. Straighten steer arms. Pull pegs out. Snatch straps can be just as dangerous, yet everyone has one.
I used a high lift in the rain and slipped jacking it up. The ratchet hadn't engaged and the handle hit me in the temple and knocked me out cold. They can kill you if you, or they, F up..
I have a GU jack but made an adapter basically the end of the winding rod with hook add a battery drill and its easy to go up and down by power, I also carry the good old scissor jack to get into small spaces but mine is electric it it lifts up so the Gu Jack can fit....However if you get bogged in muck the high lift or arb both have wheel lift adapters so you lift the wheels high to pack under the wheel
Factory bottle jacks don't like being used in sandy riverbeds. Sand in the gear makes it difficult but they are underrated. Best I've used was the weight of 3 guys and a 5m long tree to lever the car out of its predicament in the sandy riverbed.
Considering most people who go off road have an air system of some sort I would suggest an air/hydraulic bottle jack would be the best option. Very expensive initial purchase but much easier to use.
Good vid I would have but the hydraulic bottle jack first because the worm drive is just too slow, I have both. I actually have a collection of bottle jacks.
Yes the HiLift is dangerous you just have to pay attention. It has a place. For me and as you mentioned winching especially for the rear of the vehicle. I like the ARB but God sakes the cost I hope it's not made in China for that price.
Good review of jacks. However, he would have torn his bumper off. Before jacking your car, check the owner's guide for where to place the jack!! The scissors jack he disdains was made for the frame jacking points on most cars.
ARB IS 8 TIMES THE COAST OF A HI LIFT, BEEN USING A HILIFT FOR 30 YRS NEVER AN ISSUE TREAT IT LIKE YOUR EX, IT MIGHT HELP YOU, BUT IT REALLY WANTS TO HURT YOU.

I have 2" thick one square foot wood as base. Get untreated hard wood unlike me getting a treated pine. Stinks chemical inside car. A spray coating will fix it. Easier to get untreated pine, probably.
C’mon bro, the high lift is the best if you use it properly. Kick the base in before you use it. Get some training and stop being a skirt. This reeks of sponsorship. Mount that big boy to the roof and send bro! Nut up and stop agreeing with Mr (I’m too good for supercentre) Darl
@@DASHOffRoad Mate, learn to use a high lift before you disregard it. No good half setting it up. Set it up right and it will lift that wheel a foot off the ground safely.
If I’m using the manufacturer’s provided mechanical jack, I’ll be grabbing one of my cordless impact wrenches with a proper size impact socket to lift/descending the jack,… that method is unbeatable .
With the GU jack, just cobble-up an adaptor. Start with the hook that connects to the jacks turning knob...make this as long as you like or even just use the existing long handle; cutting it down to a suitable length... Weld a socket on the end with a 1/2" drive to match your battery-operated rattle gun. Use the rattle gun to raise and lower the jack. Too easy!!!
with gu jack, cut the spinning handle off and chuck her in a cordless drill. easy up and down ! you've missed another jack, airbag jack. compact and all you need is compressed air which every 4wd will have
Wow. Someone’s getting kick backs from ARB. What do you mean it’s more stout and won’t go side to side. It’s the same thing as the dang hi lift. Still a pole and it still can go side to side. 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
We used to own one and threw it away. If you are on nice flat ground they MAY work, otherwise they are hopeless and are easy to puncture. Take up a lot of room for storage too.

Keep a length of 4x2 handy to put under the bottle jack on soft surfaces - spend half as long winding/pumping
I like those extensions better than the wooden block I’ve been hauling around all these years although the block makes for a good base at times
