I needed to replace two 6 x 6 posts on my front porch. I didn't want to jerry-rig a support to hold up my roof and found this unit online at a good price. I used concrete stepping stone(s) at about 1 foot from rotted post as a base for leveling, firm support and adjusting initial height of jack (this prevented curling of the base plate as was mentioned in another review.) Firmed jack in place by hand, used a plumb bob to insure vertical placement, then used a wrench to turn the screw at the top of jack to raise the beam. Removed old post, set in new post, turned screw to lower beam. Very simple, secure and I felt far safer than anything I could have jerry rigged. I'm a simple 'do-it-yourself' kinda guy. Never tried this before but feel comfortable doing it again.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used six of the large posts to jack-up / level part of my basement. The foundation wall, circa 1930 was cracked and part of the house "sunk". These are well built, and worth every penny! They are also easy to use. A+ all the way!
Yes, I recommend this product.

The strong base and upper plates set themselves easily. I used this jack to raise a sagging roof over a horse stall. Because the jack is adjustable, I managed to get the job done by myself.

I ordered two of these to support one end of a 52 ft deck that was in trouble. One of the units must have been a "return" as it had been opened and was missing one bolt. The jack-screws on both units were "burred" and could not be fully adjusted until I used a file to clean the threads. The two sections of pipe could be a much closer fit (about 5/32 play when installed).
In the end, they did the job (with a little extra work) and I did not have to return them.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Post arrived with box opened and the hardware bag had been torn open and a piece was missing . I called the customer service and the response was IMMEDIATE and very pleasant. They shipped me the missing part express and i was back in business. The customer service was what made this transaction a positive experience. Good customer response policy and leadership, HD!

I bought these to use as temporary supports for my deck (8 foot above ground) while I replaced the permanent wood support beams. I was disapointed with the quality of these jack posts. The top and bottom plates are thin stamped sheet metal. The plates are not attached and have no means of attaching them. The post just "sits" on the plates. This is unsafe because even if you bolt down the support plate, it doesn't matter because the post just sits on it and will easily slip off. The jack screw also just sits in the end of the post and is not attached either. Once the jack screw is extended over half way, it too could easily tip out if something bumped the post. I mig welded the top plate to the post end, and also mig welded the jack screw into the lower post end. This made the posts stable and made me a whole lot more comfortable working under 30,000 pounds of deck/screenroom held up by these posts.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Did the job (lifting a 20' deck).
Pro's
- Cheap
- Worked easily
Con's
- Would have been better if the plates attached to the support post and adjustment post to make setup quicker
- Would be nice to have an adjustment handle included
Note: The price went from $31 to $42 just after I bought it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered 2 of these and was very pleased with the service from Home Depot. They were shipped out promptly and I received them in a few days. The product seems to be very simple in design but robust enough for the job. I have a sagging floor joist on my ground floor so I installed one on that joist and am keeping the other in case I have to bring up other joists. It was very simple to install and hopefully will take care of the problem. I don't see why it shouldn't. If this is a product you are in the market for don't hesitate in ordering from Home Depot.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This item was very reasonably priced, was delivered in a very timely matter, and worked exactly (even easier) then advertised. I would heartily recommend it and Home Depot's prompt shipment.
I used it to jack up a cracked horizontal joist in a 2-car garage and have been completely satisfied.

Used the jacks to prop up sagging floors in a hundred yr old house with stone foundation. Easy to put together and put up. so far they are working great and slowly lifting the sags. Next project using the 2 ft one to prop floors above the crawl space.

We needed something to raise a sagging second story floor in our two-story garage. The jack post was exactly what we needed. It was easy to set up and install and took care of the problem of the sagging floor without having to build something that would have taken up more space that the jack post. We are very pleased with the product and were very happy when we found it on Home Depot's web site. We had looked all over town and couldn't find one.
Yes, I recommend this product.
