    Nice find! Tip: Even though they might be called "high speed" drill bits, drilling steel is always better when the bit is turning much slower. "High speed" when cutting steel is measured in inches per minute. The bits will stay sharp longer, too. Most any machinist will tell you likewise.

    • @jamesotisjr2322
      @jamesotisjr2322 Před 3 lety +8

      if you drill correctly - low RPM, high pressure - you get spirals. if you get chips you are over revving the drill.
      around here they fix the streets by adding a layer of pavement, but do not fill the notch where drainage happens. intersections become wheel chocks. that thing would snag and bend the triancle the jack bolts to.

    Wow...this video is the biggest coincidence.

Both times of jacking the trailer up and back down, I thought to myself...there has to be a faster way. HERE IT IS! Thanks!

      I had a 12 foot aluminium trailer and it just had the regular little pad on the end of the jack, if a driveway had too much slop to it would smash the driveway or sidewalk. This thing is an amazing idea but it makes that clearance down there at least 1" smaller

    • @TheCarpSandwich
      @TheCarpSandwich Před 5 lety +6

      I used a block I made from 2×8, two 12" pieces then an 8" and 6" to finish it. Cheap and easy

    • @AztecWarrior69
      @AztecWarrior69 Před 5 lety +3

      @@TheCarpSandwich a possible solution to your 1" problem is to have put some spacers in between the jack and the trailer and get longer bolts. Second, if your foot has a bolt holding it on but take off the bolt and replace it with a lock pin of same diameter. Take the foot on and off when hooking up. If the foot is welded just cut it off. They sell replacement feet that go around the pipe. They even sell feet that are extensions.

    Thanks for the video showing how you installed it. I can see though from some of the postings that there could be some situations where this jack could be a problem. If one is traveling long term or being in many different ground situations that having the old jack stored with your trailer would be beneficial. Although it might take some time to switch out the jacks it could be done so that your truck and trailer would not be damaged and setting up camp to keep all parties happy...

    We had one of these on the travel trailer we just sold. Super handy and makes it a little faster to hook and unhook. It's really nice on those spots tough to hitch the truck, when the normal jack wouldn't of reached. I also carried a 4x6 when it was too low that it had to bend, to stop dirt getting into the hinge. Great suggestion BTW

    I’ve used those before and have to say that sometimes they become difficult to use in curtain Situations. If for some reason you park the trailer on a Unlevel surface where the ground is higher by the front of the trailer you won’t be able to fold it down to jack up the trailer.
