Viking Arm is a beast, I use them to set led lined doors, those dewalts look interesting.

Thanks for a good review of an important product. Some added thoughts: 1. On 30Jul2024, the Amazon price was $166. 2. Increase stability by bolting the base onto a steel plate. I say steel because it can be much thinner than a wooden board, yet much stronger. If the plate is long enough, one foot can step on the plate while another foot steps on the lever to raise the object. 3. Likewise, a steel plate can be bolted onto the riser, making for a deeper entry below the object to be lifted. 4. If the steel plates have either slots or multiple tapped holes, the degree to which the bottom plate and riser plate extend under the object to be moved can be different. One of the shortcomings mentioned in the video can thereby be overcome. 5. Dewalt should offer such extension plates as an extra-cost accessory. They'd be easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and make the base product that much more attractive.

"There are lifters and jacks that existed before these came to market but these were the first ones marketed towards construction and heavy lifting." Viking Arm was the first and they're currently in a patent lawsuit against Stanley Black and Decker. It will be interesting to see who wins. The Viking Arm is about twice the price but the Viking Arm is made in Norway vs. the Irwin/Stanley/DeWalts are made in China.

Just being able to use foot to press down is the only reason I would go with Dewalt one and pay that premium.

It’s hard to justify $160 CAD for that. I wish it was was much cheaper, seems overpriced for what it is, don’t get me wrong it looks great and I would love to have one.

FYI, Viking Arm is the inventor of the jack & suing Stanley Black & Decker [owner of DeWalt & Irwin] for patent infringement. This will be a David [Viking] vs Goliath [Stanley] lawsuit.

Viking made the first set and did them in the finest quality. They are high priced over $300.00 each in Canada. Their ability to lift is exceptional over 150lbs and more! China produces a plethora of fake cheap knock offs that only lift minor things. DeWalt and Irwin finally have produced lower priced and similar capable lift to Viking. In Canada DeWalt costs $169.00 each so l got one for now.

@viking_armexcept you can't use your foot on the viking arm the dewalt you can so the dewalt is better for hanging doors and gates

DeWalt/Irwin are not the fist to market of these types of Jack/lifts
@4thewinak5 ай бұрын
true, but maybe marketed towards "general construction"

This is not new amazon has been selling these type of lifts for years
@carlosfrancofeliciano61604 ай бұрын
Definitely not a new tool... I got a very cheap version of this in amazon few 2 years ago. You'll love it, very handy. But you'll regret going with the cheaper version. Go with this dewal amd buy at least 2.
