"Toy" Jack saved the day

[shellback]

While installing a hall-bath vanity, we noticed the floor or legs were not level. It kept rocking back and forth. I need to lift the vanity just a bit just so I could adjust the leveling tabs under the legs. Never occurred to me to use this miniature aluminum racing jack by US General, but I was worried since it was rated @ 110 lbs. (the vanity being close to 300!) Worked like a charm. Was able to lift high enough to get to the leveling feet.

Quick thinking and job well done on the improvisation!

Wow those are MASSIVE pliers -- as large as a floor jack.

You didn't use jack stands?

I was expecting a scissors jack or a little trolley jack, but not one that little.

I have a set of air shims that I've used for stuff like this. With some cribbing (1x or 3/4 ply works well), you can lift heavy stuff pretty far.

That jack is a great tool. In fact, I'm going to post about mine over in the indispensable and innovative tools thread.

I use air shims aaaalllll the time.

Pretty cool little jack. Never seen one before. Thanks for sharing.
