Got those two from Amazon, works like a charm for most of my use cases. As a solo handyman type of worker I have not yes come across something where they did not suffice. Just keep in mind that they don’t hold up the world and it will be ok. Leveling feet for washers, tables cabinets etc

For me, the 2 cheaper pair would be just fine for my needs.

I have 2 of the original viking arm lifters. As a professional finish carpenter that works mostly on my own i find them invaluable

[@tedmcdonald3377]

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎, they'd be nice for leveling appliances

[@Fekillix]

Stanley has one too (same company) but a little different design. The original is the Viking arm made in Norway, that one is $180 each.

Yes, the parent company for Irwin is Stanley Black & Decker, which is also DeWalt's parent company. FYI, I bought those two from Amazon and could not lift my washing machine! It would not ratchet. So, I will be paying more for the Irwin. Larger footprint and lifts.

I’d like to see a comparison against the Dewalt, Irwin, Chinesium, and the original Viking Arm

[@jdamurph]

Have you tried the Dewalt one?

[@outdoorsurvival7730]

Viking arm is the best I’d say

Lol, just like Milwaukee tools weren't made in Milwaukee. lol
