High Lift Extreme Jack - is it worth it?

I personally am not a big fan of the hi lift jacks ever since mine slipped with 3.5 tonnes on it and hit me on the face
 
Sold, just ordered one. Like the winching, I will postpone getting a winch for a while and use this if the need arises. It will take a long time to get any distance winching but better than nothing. I also like the spreading idea for emergencies.
 
ya can winch with any hi lift?

ya just need a boat load of extra's, and i think you will find that ya still need the extra with the extreme..

only thing it has is a shaped slot to attach 10mm chain to the top..

Yep I have ordered the off road kit with it so comes with the chains etc, the only difference I can see is the ability to clamp and spread.
 
I have looked at a few vids on you tube and it seems like a good buy. I do think the extreme is a better and more versatile item after looking at the vids, just because of its increased load capacity and the different bit at the top of the jack. Glad I have it ordered.
 
I have a standard Hi-lift .. it's got me out of the ****e on a couple of occasions, pulled fence posts, tightened fence wire, done all sorts of 'stuff' ... mostly slowly though!

When I get my winch fixed and fitted I'll still carry the hi-lift, maybe without the winching chains, just 'cos it's so versatile in other ways.

Haha, there was a bloke in a 109 at Rothwell and was stuck, I shouted you want a hand mate, he said no I have a winch,

I thought I carnt see a winch on there so left him to it,

Came back about 45 mine later and he had moved about 1ft. Using a hand winch and was sweeting a lot

I then offered again to recover it and he accepted.
