Has anyone used these from Northern Tool?

I need new ones so looking for any feed back or recommendations.

When I did my longitudinal replacement, I ordered 4 sets (2-packs) of these from Amazon...they were inexpensive and worked very well for me.

https://www.amazon.com/EAZ-LIFT-48860-Teles...k/dp/B00PE2VIVE

I capped them Lowe's furniture felt pads/sliders.

I liked that they were pinned for height and had an adjustable screw for finer adjustment.

Food for thought...

Approved, replaced all of my old ratchet aka head crushers with these, far superior to anything else I have used. You will not regret these.

Sold shaft for the Jack saddle, and a solid pin to keep them where you put them, even has a nice lock pin, to keep the solid pin in place. When I got rid of all my old ones I took them to the scrapers, and I cut them up with a touch to make sure no one fell victim to them. Why did I upgrade, I had one break the shear pin. Luckily I was not under it, it was folding a trailer tong while I was replacing the tongue jack.

Also bought 4. Best jack stands I have ever owned. Sturdy, easy to adjust. But easy to misplace the locking pin. My brother-in-law, after seeing mine, bought4 and loves them.

They are fantastic and much safer than any lever type, they also go pretty high up so they're pretty dang useful, I even use them as a 3rd saftey when I use my quick jack as they slide right under...and the pads on them are excellent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
