Review on Big Red TRA8335B Ratcheting Capacity by Andrew Aldana

Revainrating 1 out of 5

And not worth the money.

I bought this Hello Jack to remove fence posts in my garden. At first glance this jack looks great, I like the red powercoat if that's the case and the jack itself looks very solid. Well here are my observations on the one I bought. When the setting is low, the lever will not lift a load. There are many slip-ups. It doesn't seem to take the load even with the lever all the way down. And above all, it is difficult to lift the load, in my case, when the lever is in a vertical position, it does not get stuck lifting, sometimes I even have to tap the lever on the frame so that the jack lifts the load. And finally, the cute red powder coating, chips and scratches are very easy, and the elevator section scratches the black frame very badly. In the end the jack made it, but now it looks like a battered jack, not a new one. Generally you can find another jack for the money.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
