Better product than I expected was easy to use.

This is a well made screw jack. The center post is about 1/8 inch too long, which makes it a difficult to do the initial loading onto the jack. Once the center post has created a divot into the surface of the wood you are loading, the 4/6 plate bites in, and all works well. But for some bizarre reason, the US manufacturer has decided to make the thing NON-RETURNABLE. I ordered 4 jacks. Only needed 3. This extra jack hit every Amazon criteria for being returned. It is not medical equipment, or anything else that is on the non-return list. They just, RANDOMLY, will not take it back. They should feature this information, PROMINENTLY, in the product information. Amazon credited my account. I kept the jack at Amazon's request. I would have preferred to do the honorable thing and return this item to the shipper. Bizarre. But, thanks to Amazon customer service for making it right for me financially.

I grabbed the Vestil FJB-16 while stabilizing a sagging beam under our back porch, and it delivered exactly what I needed: reassuring strength and simple setup. This jack might not look flashy, but it’s built to last—with solid welded steel construction and a red oxide finish that shrugs off rust and damp conditions with ease. The telescopic post and screw adjustment make leveling straightforward—even in cramped crawlspaces. It’s easy to dial in the exact height without fuss, and once locked in with the removable pins, this jack doesn’t budge. It held firm while I swapped out joists and added reinforcements, and I felt confident leaving it in place overnight. Little surprise moment: the crank rod works well in tight spots along walls or low ceilings, and I didn’t have to fight with alignment. Compact, but strong—and absolutely reliable. For under $40, it’s a small investment that solves big problems. Whether you're leveling floors, supporting beams, or tackling sagging joists, this tool quietly gets the job done. It's now a permanent fixture in my DIY toolkit, and I wouldn’t start a structural repair without it.

It's all welded construction makes it easy to move around and adjust. The top plate is swaged on and rotates to adjust. It's made from 1/4 inch steel plate. I've used other jack stands but this is the type I'll always use from now on. I drug 4 of these through the dirt under a house and they still operated easily. This is not a lifting jack. The turn bar is for adjusting, not turning to lift. It can bend if you push hard enough. You need to jack up the beams first and use this to support the weight. You get what you pay for. Well worth the money.

FJB-16 Jack: I couldn’t find details, so including them here. The tube is 2.50” OD and 0.080” wall thickness. The thread is M30 x 2.0 (approximately 1.25” dia x .080 pitch). The tube top cap (with the female thread) is 12mm thick (just under half inch). Cap is welded to the tube approximately 270 deg around. The base and top plates are 6mm x 89mm x 153mm (1/4” x 3.5 x 6.0) The only reason I cut this open was I need two of them to be approx 10.5” tall, so will be shortening them myself. I was going to make my own, but can’t even get all the material for the price of these! Would definitely purchase again. Way better made than some of the cheaper ones, and equal in quality to others costing 50% more.

Mine’s the 12” version. It’s a stout little guy perfect for raising the side of my porch enough so I could replace a post. I saw some reviews that said the turn-rod wasn’t up to the task and had bent on them. Maybe their load was way heavier than mine but I had no problem. It takes effort of course to lift part of a structure but slow turning didn’t feel like it came close to bending the rod. Only needed to raise the beam an eighth inch or so to get the old post out, and that’s what these things are made for—lifting a big weight a short distance. Very pleased with the quality and glad I selected this one.
