Customer Reviews for Big Red 20-Ton Low-Profile Bottle Jack

Worked great. Used it to lift a garage so I could make a foundation footing for an old garage. It did leak a bit when releasing the pressure.

The jacks performed as described...very powerful. Used to lift house joists. Make sure to follow the simple instructions to the letter before using them for the first time.

I purchased 3 of these and each worked to perfection. The low profile helped in many situations and because I was working with the jacks under a summer cabin to level it, the low weight was also a plus. At times I had to maneuver the jack into position with one hand. I bled each one prior to use according to the instructions and that was it. Each one worked perfectly. At times they stayed in place holding up the cabin for a week while I added floor joists before being re-positioned. Not a single failure or complaint and the price can't be beat for the performance delivered. I would recommend this jack to anyone. One tip: If you are lifting wood, as I did, or any soft material, you will need a metal plate between the jack and the material so the jack will not bite into what's being lifted.

Purchased three of these to level my house. From previous reviews and as described in the pamphlet I bled the jacks first, easy to do. Two of the three jacks performed flawlessly the first time. The third jack did not hold its height and I had to re-bled again, after that it worked well. Excellent value and quality for the price.

I purchased 3 of these bottle jacks to raise a sagging 100 yr old house. Center load bearing wall needed raising 2" and when placed on top of 7" dia. heavy gauge steel pipe w/ 1/2" flanges, they raised it with ease. Doing this kind of work is dangerous so I take my time and raise slowly. It helps to have heavy duty jack posts to assist me as I move down the beam. Walls above floor joists are also supported by jack posts and raised at the same time. If your looking at these jacks for house raising you'll love them., just make sure you have enough of them and a solid base and you'll be fine.

it was reboxed. missing tool and instructions, possibly defective

box was retaped a million times missing jack handle

I had to order the Jack 3 different times in order to receive all the parts. Each time the box was destroyed and parts were missing. This is not the standard I am accustomed to with ordering with Home Depot.

My husband said they worked out very well.

Did not come with a handle. You replaced it with another product and for that I’d rate you a 5!

Jack is very very good

It's perfect for Leveling heavy items; Cargo containers, Mobile homes, Settled foundations on older post and piered houses the possibilities are endless...

It worked for my project (leveling the deck) but it did leak a little bit of hydraulic fluid.

It really doesn't lift 20 tons it doesn't even lift the rear axle of the 12 ton vehicle I have

The first one that I got it didn't have the jack handle in the box to pump it up with. The 2nd one that I got it didn't have all 3 pieces that make up the pump handle, it only had 1 piece out of 3 in the box. I didn't try another jack, I just got my money back. It looked like it would be a good jack to have but not without the pump handle.

The husky 20 ton lift much more; however, these are lower profile....did not work for my purpose not enough lift

Missing handle.Won't work without it. Wanted it to work. I will try to make it work. not worth the hassle of returning it.

They really mean it when thy say "low profile." The entire height of the jack, jacked up, is no more than a foot. In addition, the item they sent me was a floor model. The box had been ripped open and taped together, and the handles to pump up the jack were missing. It works, but I was disappointed in the overall height.

bought two. One leaked hydraulic fluid from the get go, but worked ok. Not a lot of travel but was expected being they are low profile which was useful for my application.

Did not work from day one did all the trouble shooting as described in a the manual.

Awsome little guy and has great power

Best low profile Jack I could for the job I was doing . Excellent piece of equipment.
