The PinJack® IS CUSTOM MADE FOR PINBALL GAMES ONLY! We are aware that people think there is a generic furniture lift arm on amazon for $40.00 that will do the same job. We custom made the footplate and forks for PINBALL GAMES ONLY. The crap out there currently will not fit around a pinball leg let alone lift one. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee no questions asked and offer FREE SHIPPING! See the footplate and the wide gap... the amazon and alibaba and other lift arms will not work. But we understand the disbelief and confusion.
What is the GAP in the footplate? I use Rubber Feet on my pinball that are 7cm wide. Oh well the website answered my question: *If you have installed a rubber floor foot protector you will need to remove it to adjust the pinball machine then you can put it back on afterwards.
@@wooo541 We are working on a home version where that won't be an issue but then the cost has to go up. I am sorry we couldn't figure out a way to do both, the weight was in issue and we don't want people to struggle with the hand squeezing, it should be relatively easy to lift the game. The wider we make it the harder the device becomes and the less weight load bearing unless we add some interesting feature to it that we explored and abandoned.
Pretty cool device but for the average user is way to much. Needs an 80$ price point or so. You would sell more that way. Wonder how easy it could lift the back of a JJP. Hehe
@@Kwistenbiebel200 We are working diligently to make a home version for just this occasion but we're unwilling to compromise the original design and weight limit of the PinJack to do both functions. So we decided we will need to make a special home version for people next year.
Thanks for doing the review of our product Cary. We understand the price issue. To clarify, the PinJack has more than 50% of the parts made in America and all of it is assembled by me and my biz partner here in Southern California. There are components from China, but we re-engineered most of the parts and made a high quality product to last so we didn't "cheap out on the materials" and we offer a money back guarantee within 30 days no questions asked and also offer FREE SHIPPING!
I love your comment, we also found it a bit odd that people can pay $15,000 for a pinball game but 124.95 is a lot for a tool for the pinball game? You can afford the Lambo but not the tire iron🙂
@@KylaeJordan I was going to write the same thing. People saying it should be $80!! OK - so you're going to pass on saving back pain for $45 but pay 10k+ for the machine?
We are attempting to do one large order to the UK so that will be possible, will have that worked out first week of January. Yes, in about 30 days we will be able to do that.
I'd like to see it in action on a rear leg that's jacked WAY up to make a game really steep - I'm curious if it would be stable enough and handle the larger spread between the two pieces gracefully.
Lol people with multiple $10k+ machines complaining that this thing costs a hundred bucks... If you have to move and re-level a machine ONCE this pays for itself just in saved aggravation and annoyance.
Cary I am cheap but its really true you get what you pay for.If you own a lot of pins i think its a great value and worth it. I used to try and save money with cheap tools earbuds etc and in the end they never hold up & usually break.So i learn ed my lesson not to be a cheapo.Thanks for the review.
Great idea! All of my machines are on hardwood floors and I use the rubber feet protectors. The mouth of the PinJack looks too narrow to help me, but I can't tell for sure from the videos.
Yes, we tried to make a wider body model to accommodate that and lost out on the strength and ease of the device so we had to abandon it until we make a 2.0 version for the home user. But yes, if you remove the rubber feet you can adjust it, then crank the pinjack high up and put the rubber foot back on and slowly lower it to ground but the metal footplate will rest on the sides of the rubber foot but you can slide it out without harm so it works, but its not perfect.
Cool product but with the price and technology in pinball machines nowadays, shouldn't they be self leveling? Now that might be worth sacrificing a vuk for. :) I love your channel btw.
Nice, thorough review, Cary. Thanks. This appears to be a very well made & engineered product for the use intended. Regarding a comment I read about its ability to lift the rear legs of a JJ to maximum height, I don’t know of any Jack that could do so by lifting just one leg. I trust my hydraulic lift table for serious lifting above a few inches. As others have written, I wish the price was in the $75-$100 price range, but I understand the R & D & materials costs must be recouped. Very creative item! I wish the inventors/sellers great success.
We did a tradeshow special for 6 months at $79.95 and were at the AMOA show and Pinball World Expo in Oct. Dec 1st we reached a deal with Marco Specialties to be our distributor and thus that ended the pre-sales price and now we offer discounts for 2 or more PinJacks. Yes, the costs are high for metal. But we are working on a second production run to attempt to lower the costs without reducing the Awesomeness of the product in any way. We would like to get down closer to $100 bucks, but 15k for a pinball and $124.95 for saving your back and body pain? Pretty cool but we understand it's still expensive and don't want to diminish people's economic circumstances. The dude abides!
I have one and the only issue for me is it doesn't fit around my rubber feet protectors. Wish the base had been made a bit wider to accommodate rubber feet. I thought about shaving off some of the metal to get it to fit. Hopefully it won't weaken the device too much, assuming I don't have to shave off much.
Bought one about a week ago from press on products, just got an email that there are load bearing issues and that it wont ship for another week at the earliest. Not really a great experience so far.
Would you rather it be delayed until you get the product as intended or get a possible defective product and have to deal with returning it and all that jazz? Granted we all would prefer to get the product correctly and quickly, but shit happens sometimes.
@@DenOfPin Hi dan, we shipped over 200 PinJacks in the last week. All have been delivered and so far no one has found a problem. We fixed the defective metal part and the product is shipping daily now. Let me know if I can win your trust and ship you the product to test out for yourself. 30 day money back guarantee, no shipping no BS. Try it and let me know what you think.. warmly Kylae
@ Jordan, My 4 player EM’s are extensively heavy, way more than a Stern, especially the backbox. Your website states that 220lbs weight limit, my concern is that I am not going to get that even weight distribution you describe when I lift up the back leg. Have you tested this on very heavy 4 player EM’s?
Yes we’ve tested it on the Hercules pinball and while we can lift it, it hurt our hands too much and after doing it about 5 times we noticed the prototype started to slip. So if you buy two pinjacks to lift the back legs it will work. But probably only a few times and then start sliding down the metal bar and become useless. We really tested the crap out of it and 220 pounds is not good but doable. We considered making the max weight say 180 or 200 pounds. Because squeezing the hand levers hurts like hell. So I wouldn’t recommend our product for what you need to do, it’s gonna start slipping, it won’t break it just will start sliding down at like.. 50 pounds after it’s damaged. Sorry it’s tough but not like a fulcrum…
Looks like a great product.. wish I would've seen this sooner it would've been on my Christmas list! Great video.. we may have the next Billy Mays right here!
Thanks Cary, you almost have me sold, but most of us have our games against a wall and side by side. There is no way to insert the tool from the back or side. So my question is will it work from either of the two inner portions of the legs? You may have to do another video.
Pretty cool idea. Only concern is will it hold up unlike Harbor Freight tools? They should have priced it at $99. Would be a good price to get people to pull the trigger. Luckily I have older children to do my heavy lifting. 😂 But definitely a cool tool.
Maybe the 2.0 version we can get the costs down. We made it in America and I assembled it with my biz partner. We made it to last and didnt' cheap out on the materials, thus the price. But I understand the pricing issue and ability to use the kids until they say NO MORE:) DAD!! SAVE MY BACK AND GET ME THE PINJACK!!
Yeah.. we are concerned people will use the PinJack for darn near everything else they can lift off the ground...like video games, their furniture, refridgerator etc.. it will eventually break or they might hurt themselves. But we cannot stop people from their imagination.
Nice! We modified what is essentially a caulking gun, and made it effortless to squeeze the handle and lift the pinball games in any tight space. Can be used on all angles and sides of the pinball leg. Your idea is very good!
Well, if you change your mind you know where to find us, and we offer a 30 day money back guarantee. But I completely understand, pricing on groceries, gas, metal parts etc all gone crazy!! Hope to make a more affordable version next year if possible. Best Wishes - Kylae
Esto se ve increíble! lo voy a compartir con mis amigos que también tienen pinballs. Contacté a los vendedores y dicen que va a estar disponible para envío a México en enero.
Nope, we custom made the footplate and patented it, and the forks... those amazon ones will not fit a pinball leg or even lift it... see the footplate size? its much wider and we made it out of cromoly to withstand over 200 pounds and last a long time. Try before you buy? We offer a 30 day money back guarantee and its free shipping. But we are aware of the crappy furniture lift arms, ours is based on that and then immensely improved upon.
@@RADIOACTIVE1980s please see the footplate, those are a joke and won't fit around the leg of a pinball game let alone lift it... But we are aware of the crap out there, and its difficult to show how we custom made this in a video. But you are not wrong, they are out there and they suck... but the PinJack is not even in the same ballpark, we custom made it and patented the footplate and forks.
Well I’ve been doing this for years with a reversed wood clamp and it does the job even lifting both feet if needed. I have wood floor and rubber feet in my pins so guess no good for me anyways.
it's not for everyone, but if you have to lift games more than twice a year its a good tool. But its just a tool, you can use your body just as well. If you try it and don't like it you can return it for a full refund no questions asked. We would rather people try and see for themselves than get stuck with a tool they think sucks. But again if you don't need to do any leveling more than 2 times a year it's not worth it.

yes, you would still have to crawl under your game, but the device should still work accordingly.
Matter of fact - I just crawled under my game to confirm. Yes, it will work.
Yes we have videos showing it on our site, it is designed for tight spaces and pinballs lined up against the walls in tight locations. EASY PEASY🙂
@@CaryHardy you can use it on the "inside" of the leg, so all sides are easy to access.
