How did I not find this sooner. So many Jack's damaged from dragging in driveways. Now I don't need a wooden block anymore. Wishlist had a grease fitting though.
. There is a flaw design of these jacks in that the outer mounting tube has too much slack around the inner lift tube. This causes the jack to wobble if you shake the trailer when the jack is fully extended. As I recall the original design did not have this problem, because it was constructed with square tubing. The original inventor of this jack let the patent run out and the current manufacturer decided to make a cheap knockoff

Just purchased one of these @ tractor supply for a friend's water trailer, it was more than I wanted to spend but damn that quality is top notch..
Thank you for the feedback! This is a great tongue jack because of it quick dropping leg.
