Trailer ValetTVJX5-C Drill Powered Trailer Jack - with Drill Adapter - Heavy Duty - Center Mounted - 5,000 lb Static Weight Capacity

Purchased this jack for a replacement on a 16 ft tandem axel utility trailer. The original got very stiff and finally gave out. So I wanted a powered jack but had concerns about reliability. This jack was the best of everything! It is heavy duty and rated for 5000lbs and has a grease fitting to keep it lubed for smooth operation. The frosting on the cake was the feature that uses a socket attached to a drill motor to jack up and down and a detachable handle for field use or back up. The form fit and function on this jack are first rate and well constructed. I especially like the heavy duty crinkle painted surface makes the jack look great as well as work great! I cut the old tube off and retained the welded base for a reinforcing plate and upgraded the hardware to grade 8 fasteners and lock nuts. I then tacked three spots to make sure it wasn't coming loose (way overkill). When in doubt go big and bring a 20v DeWalt drill with you!

I bought this particular jack for the obvious reasons. The drill option is a nice-to-have and does indeed work very well on the tongue of my loaded cargo trailer but...Manual cranking with the included handle is very smooth and seems to require less than half the effort to crank than the old & tired 2k jack it replaced; perfect gear ratio! The handle to hand interface material is a cushioned rubber and is comfortable to use. My palm and elbow really appreciate the gear ratio on this thing.It installed perfectly on my cargo trailer. Hooked up to my pickup truck I can still drop the tailgate 90% of the way with my particular hitch. I think its a 3" drop. The top of my tailgate has a plastic Bushwacker-branded trim along the entire width of the gate. That is what rests on the flat stainless steel plate on the top of the jack. It all works very well.The grease zirt was a very nice feature. It will make maintenance on the jack as easy as it can be.The jack is a bit pricier but those monies were obviously put into the quality of parts used in manufacturing this jack.I hope it lasts the life of the trailer. Its a handsome piece of equipment.The only con is that the applied sticker was already peeling off the body of the jack when I opened the package. Insteading of losing it in the wind traveling down the road I removed it the rest of the way and applied it to a tool cabinet in my garage.So, if the company that manufacturers the jack would like the advice: use a better method to apply your branding to the jack. Parked at various locations I'm sure the jack will attract a few lookers.

I am actually very impressed with how well this jack has been holding up to my daily use. It gets used three to four times a day every day. It's still smooth as the day it was installed my Milwaukee drill lifts up the trailer with this jack without any trouble. And I love the backup manual crank handle I keep in the truck and carry the socket attached to the drill in the back. My only complaint is it's a proprietary socket and you only get one, would of been nice to get a second one as a back up Incase you loose it because we'll it's a small socket. Otherwise be kinda nice if it was just a standard socket head opposed to the proprietary connection, obviously less secure but a whole lot more convenient. Perhaps offer a model with a normal socket because I'd have ordered that instead not this one. I personally hate proprietary sockets and setups because something always fails and your SOL until you can contact the company and possibly get a replacement.

The first one I ordered last about 5-6 times of jacking up my 22' bay boat, then the jack stripped the gear (I guess) inside and would no longer work at all. The post on the jack just spins. I think I got a lemon, so I'm going for #3. It does seem like a quality built jack.I ordered this as a return for the first one, and it arrived obviously used. The seal around the lifting ram on the jack was broken and missing a section, the jack had been previously installed, and the piece bags were all ripped open and parts strewn around the box. The worst part is that it was KNOWN by whomever shipped it--because the previous owners shipping labels were taped over all over the front of the box.C'mon Amazon, or trailer valet...do better.

Easy to install and works great with the socket fast and easy.

Solid jack, makes life easy. However it does rust out quickly in salt water. Wish they made this in aluminum. And don’t forgot to grease the gear box when you get it. There’s a zerk on there.

Heavy duty and very smooth cranking up or down. Great gear reduction.

Fits my 6x3” trailer when others couldn’t

J’adore, j’ai une perceuse à batterie 24 volte que j’utilise pour ce crique que j’ai installé sur ma remorque à double essieux de 19 pieds et c’est vraiment l’article idéal pour mon utilisation. Je ne force plus et une attelé sur mon camion j’enlève le cri que et le dépose dans mon camion.Pas problème pour l’enlever et le remettre.

Great piece of equipment.

Installation facile sur la remorque. J ai un bateau de 24 pieds de 5000 livres.Tres solide plus rapide que les jacks conventionnelles à poignée. Vraiment besoin d une perceuse 18 volts 1/2.

Good

It has a grease point which is great. Box was damaged but we blame courier. Nothing wrong.It is the most steady and stealthy looking jack stand I have had in 20 years. Let’s hope it last.The only item you’re going to have to be responsible with your drill and socket. Comes loose as expected.I use the crank and it’s easy enough so no drill until I’m 60
