That's pretty cool. More impressed though with the video quality. Crystal clear. Nice work.
I have 2 of these and I love them. Very well built and rock solid. I use them every day.
One of the few gadgets you've shown us that actually look like a very good product. I like it!
Looks slick especially if you're unhooking in different locations frequently. My trailers only get unhooked when parked at home. So the old scrap of 6X6 works for me. Thanks for sharing!!
I have had one of these on my 32’ Haulmark car trailer for a number of years and I really enjoy the ease with which this part works!
I think I'll keep using my ,4 x6 block that I carry with my trailer it was free
hell yeah
🤣
I agree bud me toon
Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to even watch this.
I was thinking the same thing
That is simply awesome. Nice seeing some bumper pull stuff on the channel!
I installed the flip Jack about a year ago in my work and play toy hauler, very easy and no more having to carry around a block of wood.
I have used a block...this will take care of that!
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...
..happy spouse..happy life!
I have the same on my big tex trailer. I believe I bought it at the local tractor supply. Nice job on the install . Have a great day!
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.
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.
Don't Forget Cutting OIL!
@@jerryhorn3621 I added a coolant circulating system to my 20" Craftsman floor-stand drill press.
Also sounded like the hammer function was on. That definitely won't help.
2 words "Step Bit".
Really slick on thin steel with a pilot hole.
Those are great! I had one on my last trailer.
I find it amusing that from two simple observations, you can tell what kind of video it will be; 1) What watch you’re wearing 2) the introductory sequence. Love it!
Wow...this video is the biggest coincidence. I just relocated my utility trailer from one side of the parking lot at my apartment (away from trees in preparation of the hurricane last weekend) back to it's original storage spot 5 minutes ago. 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!
This thing is a simple, yet genius idea! Thanks for showing. I will be getting one.
You Sir, are absolutely correct - Mind blown!
That is really neat. All kinds of cool stuff out these days!
There is absolutely no substitute for good and proper product engineering!!! Awesome!
Now that is really cool and I think I need one for my small trailer.
OMG I'm ordering two of those right now! Thanks great video.
In the shop we called those flip feet widow makers because any service work under the trailer where you had to jack it up would make it want to fall
That was friggin awesome I’m ordering a couple of my trailers thanks for the video and didn’t even have to put your hand out to assistant that was great 👍
I had some of the same issues, and my current jack was also shot.
I replaced it with The Ultimate Trailer Jack and now I can raise and drop the entire jack as needed, love it.
Nice looking too.
I always carry a scrap chunk of 6x6 treated to put under. That also saves time cranking and doesn't cost anything
But you have to carry that chunk of 6x6 though.
I agree.. its free and can always trow it on the back of your truck bed
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
I used a block I made from 2×8, two 12" pieces then an 8" and 6" to finish it. Cheap and easy
@@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.
Now that is smart, I agree it takes forever to crank those things, awesome. I will be getting one too.
This turned out way better than I thought it would. I’m sold!
Never would have come across this without you. Thanks!
nice video , I replaced my center jack with a swing arm jack that clamps to the side works great as well ( no drilling )
What is the weight of your trailer?
Like the flip jack! Thanks for showing install and demo!
Pretty damn cool... Thanks for sharing. Be Safe!
Seen it bought, love it. Also replaced the Jack to a front crank the top crack beat my knuckles on the battery box.
amassing tool. one more to the add to future purchases 👍
I put one on my flatbed trailer. I love it, works great!
Such an awesome product, we have had one of those on our trailer forever
It would be great to have a second slip pin or toggle to lock unit straight up and down to prevent collapsing on a hill . Great invention ,it took some thought .
I was thinking the same. Looks like it would fold under if trailer gets bumped forward
That's what wheel chocks are for.
That's really trick. Good find.
Thank you my friend I need to get 2 of those for my trailer👍👍
Installed one myself and worth EVERY penny! Best investment I’ve done for my trailer
just installed mine, love it.
I love it I have one on my trailer I suggest getting both sizes for different terrain
The coolest thing I've seen all year!
I seen that on eBay and I had no idea how it work but I do now thank you
I have to say I’m pretty impressed!!! Thanks
Is it required to listen to that music when you install the Flip?
Now that’s really really cool and thanks for sharing your thoughts and great videos
I bought one for my trailer, easy to install and love it
Thats actually way more cool than i thought it was gonna be!
but does it give you any extra clearance when stowed? my trailer leg always scrapes on humps in and out of some gas stations.
Ordered! Thank you
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.
+GROUCHY OLD MAN is correct. If you find yourself in a situation without clearance for the Flip to drop correctly, simply hold it in the folded position, and extend the trailer jack.
That would work if the ground is solid but unfortunately where I live it doesn’t work out for me. I live in a area where half the time the ground is too loose that the jack sinks into the ground
@@skali4nia135 so how do you ever drop a trailer?
I use 2x6 or 2x8 lumber. Wide enough so trailer jack won’t sink
I find those extension feet very usefull in curtain situations. One swing and the curtain is open!
This is ingenious , Thankyou for sharing , I just discovered your channel so I’m a new subscriber .
I have two 24 foot cargo trailers each with 16 sinks for wild land fire fighters. This will make my set up time even faster. I didn’t know these existed, thanks for the info.
How well does it hold up when you drive over a speed bump or a curb and bend your jack because you don't have a swing away?
I love the landing gear retractable foot very nice idea thank you for the video sir I'm going to get one
I like it! Going to order one for the toyhauler and one for my regular trailer. Like the fact that it has a nice large “foot” to give a bigger contact patch with the ground which will help keep it from sinking in as much when the grounds wet.
Nice work Big Truck - That's cool and I'm going to try one.
That is absolutely awesome
Save your $35! One major thing missing here is the FlipJack being used while hitched to the truck's hitch (Note that this demonstration is done while the trailer is being supported by a tall wood post and not on a truck)! I bought one of these a few months ago and it makes a dandy shelf decoration since it actually will not work unless you have a serious lift on your truck!
Very cool! I may have to grab a couple of those!
Thanks mate, I’ve not seen this product before, awesome idea. I hope they are available here in Australia
We bought the ultimate trailer jack from tractor supply. It retracts further up. We had a problem with the jack dropping as we drove down a bumpy road, it unwound. Tractor supply replaced the jack and now we use a bungee cord to keep the handle from turning.
that was flipping awesome
Jon Andersen Good one!
Man some people are really smart! The thoughts people have to invent stuff like this!
That's cool my trailer jack mounts on the side of the tongue. I raised it up couple inches off the ground and pull the pin. the whole Jack flips sideways. So it's out of the way the tailgate also
I have never seen anything like it but this is a great idea. I love it!
On light duty trailers you can get a jack that bolts to one of the Diagonals and just Pull a pin and the Jack swings 90°.
You can leave it jacked out to near the required height .
This is pretty awesome, I'd buy it.
That's a great idea! All the best ideas are born in America in small shops!
Simple design, deadly effective. Nifty product.
WARNING... I purchase one of these for my camper and breaking down one day, it folded in. Luckily no one got hurt and nothing broke but it was very scary to think what might have happened if someone was standing near the tung of the trailer when this happened. When I contacted the company to let them know about the design issue, I was told "you need to use wheel chocks with our product".
What I did was to drill hole through the device so I could add a pin through it when it is in the down position. This way, it can not fold up if it rocks. This has resolved my issue and I am very pleased with the product now.
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
-Thomas
Nice upgrade! Looking forward to it.
Just what I needed .. thank you!
I went with a longer "stinger" to move the trailer back, thus letting the tailgate clear the jack.
And a Harbor freight electric tongue jack.
Thanks, bought one
I put the Jackfoot on my old 2017 TT with my 1500 and swear by it particularly if you have a manual jack. It's a nice surprisingly simple elegant solution to a problem many don't even know they have...
What weight is your trailer?
That trailer (Aspen Trail 17BH) only had one battery and 20 lb propane tank on a 400 lb dry weight tongue. So, fully loaded maybe 550 lbs. I pulled it on a Ram 1500. It made leveling and hitching a lot easier. @@richarde1355
Saved to my wish list, thanks.
That's pretty slick!!!!
I’ve had one of these flip up jacks for like 4 years. Love it. Some times it needs some guidance when lowering it down to slide up the slot properly.
They should have that option with the wheel instead of foot.
Could use this on the camper
I put one on our travel trailer. Less time putting the electric Jack up and down. We got the 1600lb one for the travel trailer. Very nice addition.
A similar idea which incorporates a rotating wheel, as seen on boat trailers, would be a great idea too!!!!!
Looks cool but I've got a feeling between a Minnesota winter and my luck I'd rip that thing off one way or another.
Thats a nice looking addition to a trailer. However, we just got back from a 5 week trip down south and east. This would have been ripped off on some of the places I had to get into. As it was I scraped chains and my post hanging down. And yes my trailer rides completely flat as we have our trike inside of it. Some of the places you have to get into do not think about trailers coming into their lots including Camping World.
Really cool product. Thanks for the video. I just use a stack of cut 2x12's that I screwed together and just slide under the leg so I only have to go up a little to clear the ball and I'm off. 35 bucks is a good deal for a steel part and all the hardware to put it on though. I think I'll stick with my scrap wood since I park it in the same spot every time. This would be good for people that park their trailer in different locations =]
u should try it out.. 35 bucks and ur guaranteed to kill someone on the highway someday with those metal pieces dangling of ur trailer on 1 bolt that isnt even tight..
More toys, gotta love it.
Last weekend I was camped at a state park. When I made reservations I looked at photos on-line of the campsites prior to selecting one. The photos made the site look pretty flat but when I got there, I realized it wasn't. In fact, I needed to have my hitch post at it's maximum extension to get the camper level front to back. This is the second time within a month that this has happened. There is no possible way I could have used this jack foot on this sloped ground. Even it's instructions warns not to use it on a slope such as this since it could collapse. My door is near the front & the distance from the bottom step to the ground was a measured 21".
They should make this just a little bit wider and have holes on the back side of it to put a lock pin threw. That should keep the thing from folding back up.
Oh and you should think about putting leveling jacks on your trailer if you keep having to do this.
+Ron Snyder, the Flip jack foot will work on slopes up to a 5% grade. The Flip also locks into place when extended, which is really a sturdier and more secure option than sitting on a block of wood, especially when your jack is fully extended.
I would not use this on a camping trailer. you need that stiff tongue jack to keep movement out of the camper when walking around in it.
@@triplenickle6995 camp trailers have stabilizers on all 4 corners
@@triplenickle6995 that's what the 4-corner stabilizer jacks are for.
That’s pretty slick
That is pretty cool how it folds up at the top
Whoa... fella. Fast drill wood, slow drill metal w/ pressure. Awesome idea!
Castles introduced me to the Keep. Ha! Fun game. Thanks for the video.
I did try this. It works as suggested, but... you lose any stability from the front jack as the Flip Jack is quite wobbly. So, the unit's steadiness really suffers. I subsequently took mine off and threw it away.
Yep ... my thoughts
I had a welder take a piece of 6" channel and welded it across the 2 main channels half way further back and then mounted my jack. This way I can lower my tailgate with plenty of room without hitting the jack.
Thanks, I will get one.
After watching your video I had to have one
That is awsome man thanks for showing that👍
Very nice product and excellent video.
that is pretty slick..... i'll pick one up next week.
That's brilliant !
Fastways tire chocks are fantastic as well!
