Stanley TradeLift: Lifting Has Never Been Easier!

[@tomthompson7400]

how much plastic is in it ??

[@colinmoore68]

Would like to have the option of a rubber type nonslip shoe for delicate and tile surfaces.

[@flashforum939]

I’m a bit confused about why they did not flip the grip. Users will be using this from above and ergonomically it would make so much more sense if the handle was facing upwards and the puller downwards 🤔🤷‍♂️

Hi there, It's designed so that you don't have to use your hands. If you needed to, you can place it on the floor and use your foot to raise the tool. - Dan

[@FrankATracy]

Also, Stanley owns Irwin Tools, which has a unit that looks very much like this, but is hand operated

[@kevindesilva4588]

@@its I have a viking arm and not being able to use your foot when holding a door is a pisser . So I think this will turn out better , but have not had a go as yet

[@dodamtor]

와우 얼마인가요?

[@HeathenGeek]

Has this been licensed from, or stolen from Viking Arm?

[@Fekillix]

They've probably made a mechanism that circumvents the patent.

[@sondre.linonus.berglund]

​@@Fekillixit's weird that nobody disassemble it. I'm curious what mechanisms they are using.

[@mariogutierrez7336]

Excellente ❤la comprare. I will buy that . Gracias

[@notgotaname]

It’s a slightly cheaper version of the original Viking Arm lifter. But then again, there are many much cheaper knock offs out there. I bought a decent knock off, has all the same specs, even sequential lowering which is a big plus. Fraction of the cost of this

[@christophersimpson7052]

best thing i found with the stanley vs the viking is you can stank up and use your foot to raise things up with is really handy with taller items otherwise its up look at the level then down to the floor to press the button then up to look at the lever balls to far rinse and repeat

[@TruthSeekerAi]

i love my stanley fat f -er lift indeed

[@GunnarTheCrow]

It's really disheartening to see Stanley disregarding copyright laws like this, stomping on the hard work of creators. Viking Arm has been around for a while, with patents to prove it. But Stanley just rolls out their own version without a second thought for intellectual property rights. Not cool.

[@utooboobnoob]

Irwin has one too

[@Fekillix]

@@utooboobnoob Stanley and Irwin is the same company.

[@utooboobnoob]

Unaware. Thanks.

[@Fekillix]

@@utooboobnoob It's pretty crazy how large those conglomerates are. Chinese TTI owns Milwaukee, they also make Rigid, Ryobi and Hart power tools. They also own Stiletto, Empire levels, and Imperial blades. Stanley/Black and Decker owns DeWalt, Porter Cable, Craftsman, Stanley, Black and Decker, Irwin, Lenox, Mac tools, Proto, Facom, Sidchrome, USAG, Bostitch and more. Hilti, Festool and Makita are the only independent mainstream companies left, and to some extent Bosch. Metabo/Hikoki was independent not too long ago but are now owned by an investment company. I spoke to a senior Metabo salesman and he said it was a big change when they went from being family owned to investment company owned. It's also interesting that SnapOn owns Bahco, and a lot of the Bahco tools use the same molds as the SnapOn with the difference being that the Bahco is made in Taiwan or Spain.

[@kevindesilva4588]

I do not think that they have disregarded copy right laws as they have make some difference that I would consider improvements over the Arm (which I already own and use) and the principal mechanism has been around for years . If fact I have made a similar one from quick grip clamps years ago but without the soft lower function and a hard core one from a car jack.

[@iCRSMMO]

Far too expensive for what it is

[@Marty-lv426]

Total rip off.you could convert an ordinary clamp to do the same job

[@bobspread]

@@Marty-lv426 I was watching and wondering this the whole time. I think that's maybe why the comments are turned off for their promo videos.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Get a Viking Arm - get the original design - it's better!

[@christophersimpson7052]

cant use it with your foot which sucks when handing door or can only put your level ontop the thing your lifting although i do love how sturdy the vikings are built
