*Note: vehicle in video was not actually bogged, but was used for demonstration purposes only.

The Hi-Lift Jack is a very useful 4x4 off-road recovery and multi-purpose tool. It can be useful in situations where a 4wd vehicle may have to be: winched, lifted, turned around on a tight track etc. It can also be used a multi-purpose tool for: spreading, clamping, reseting a bead on a vehicle's tyre, using the removable pole/handle as an extension pole for extra leverage on a wrench or ring spanner etc.
