Works great. One-man operation with one jack for 13' high walls!
Style: Wall Jack
This thing works great. I used it to single-handedly raise 13' high x 16' long 2x4 (16" c/c spacing) walls of an RV garage. I used only one jack. You just need to find balance point of wall and it works fine, but I wouldn't go any longer than 16'. I also did not sheath the walls, although they had three rows of blocking and some had headers and the extra framing for that. The instructions tell you the min length needed for your 2x4 that the jack climbs, per your wall ht. but it says that taller than 10' is not recommended. It states that 10' requires a 16' 2x4, which I didn't believe until I did my geometry! It's true. For the 13' high walls I needed a 20' 2x4, the longest my lumber yard has. I found all of this out after the fact and got lucky that I could even use the jack for my application at all. You need to be able to support a block right behind the jack pole (the 2x4) at just about 3" or so beyond where the top of the wall reaches on the floor. The pole is standing straight up at this point, with the wall slightly raised. I had raised mine by hand enough to slide a chunk of 2x10 under. You might be able to get by with a little less. Attaching that block would be pretty easy on a wood floor of course but I have concrete and had to devise something different. It was time-consuming but there's no room for error. I would say you can get by without the wind kit but I did try to order that. Couldn't get it for some reason. I wound up tying the jack to the wall to retain it at its peak but of course you need to retain the bottom as well, which isn't as easy since it leans more and more as you go. Best method I settled on was to tie the jack to wall and jack it to pretty near vertical and then use another block of wood and screws to retain bottom of 2x4 (on top side) from wanting to move forward without permission. I attached the retaining block too early on the first wall, which was only 12' long because I wanted to try the shorter wall first (2nd and 3rd pics). You can see that the 2x4 was pretty bowed and that was all because of the block I attached too soon and on bottom side of 2x4 pole. I later attached it to the top side of pole and when there was very little more jacking needed. Otherwise it will be really straight all the way up, with no bowing. If you do all of that right you basically have it braced in the middle for the time you have the jack attached. I still wouldn't do it in a wind though. I also used it to raise 15' long 9-1/2" LVL's one-at-a-time straight up to the 11' required ht. I goofed up on the first one and got in a bind. Just keep in mind the space it needs as it rises. You don't want to get way up there and have a problem because you can't just crank this down like a pump jack. It's basically one-way when it's got weight on it. Another poster said it's easier to take jack down after you're done and then pump it the rest of the way off the end, take back to the bottom, and remount than it is to try to lower it back down. Very true, especially when she's 20' long! You'll need a piece of 3/4" or 1" pipe but it doesn't need to be any longer than about 2' and could be shorter too. Good luck and be careful! Take your time and think it through.

it’s like having a helper…
Style: Wall Jack
I work alone, every so often I can cajole some help out of my son in college, but for the most part it is me vs the material. When it comes to partitions, walls, beams this may be a jack as handy as they come. These jacks are designed to be used in conjunction with a 2x4 - a huge plus as generally they are around and this powerful piece of equipment takes up the size of a large shoe box…no polls, rods or supports to have to pack, inventory and store. What’s more need to install a large ridge beam or glue lam beam - these can be used to help someone do the impossible. I use a ton of clamps - a good clamp is the single operator substitute for “hold this here, and don’t let it move.”. The 2601 can substitute for a crew of gus being asked to “help me lift this into place.” I am not against help, it is just hard to find. innovators like John Carroll in his book working alone, introduced the concept to me as an art. it’s the ability to employ tools or techniques to multiply your efforts. The 2601 plays a key role in my success. Even a simple stud wall begins to weigh a lot - these knock that out…but also allow you to run the siding while the wall is on the ground do you have any idea how much easier it is for one person to install plywood sheathing on the horizontal? The principle behind this jack is easily understand. but the number of ways you can uses these seems to be only limited by one’s ingenuity. If you work by yourself as a framer - you will most assuredly benefit from owning the 2601 jack from Qualcraft.

these rule!!!
Style: Wall Jack
Building a house by all by myself, in a developing country where labor is let's just say not very laborious. Even if I had a big crew of men, I would still prefer these as they allow for fine adjustments at my own pace. These puppies rule. I can lift a 30 foot or larger segment of wall, with osb on, while drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying the view. 40 foot long is as brave as I have gotten with no sheathing. I am getting more confident in them, so I have a 48 foot lift coming up fully sheathed, but will still use some backup supports for that one just in case. I could not find a 2x4 that length, but was able to buy a 2x6 and rip it down. when they say 3.5 inches, they mean, 3.5 inches. I cut my 2x4 to 3 3/4 at first, but it ended up binding as it lifted, which is spooky to have tap with a hammer to get them going again while under a 1,000 pounds or so. Never an indication however that they might slip back, or fail. I have two different lengths of pipe handle. One is about 5 feet long to help keep you out of the "kill zone" longer until the wall is mostly in a stable upright position. I also bought the wind hooks, and the floor plates. the floor plates are totally worth it as you try to position this super tall piece of 2x4 by yourself with one hand. the wind hooks, you could likely just get by with a piece of cable and a simpson strong tie to do the same thing. Still, nice to have. I don't hesitate to lift walls on a really windy day. so happy, bought the pump jacks for scaffolding from them, and their roofing hooks. cons, but not sufficient to drop a star at this price: the paint sucks on all their products, and they do rust. That said, I would expect my grand kids to finally replace them due to the thickness of the metal. the rust is cosmetic. give them a wd-40 bath for long-term storage. the bolts could use some lock washers, or at least check they are tight before each lift. they do tend to loosen up.

Only way to raise a wall solo
Style: Wall Jack
The wall jack design has a bunch of copy manufactures out there...I went with Guardian which i think is the original, or at least the oldest name i knew of. These work pretty good, but need a couple drops of oil on the hinges to make them move smooth. In addition to raising you can also use these to lower but it’s a bit of a hassle with a load and ear impossible if there is to load. I used 3 of these to lift a 45’ sheathed wall by myself and they worked just fine. Note: Guardian sells other attachments for these as well, a base and upper attachment for winds.

Love 'em.
Style: Wall Jack
I am from Texas and neither myself or anyone I know had ever seen or heard of these before. I am in the middle of rebuilding our home, after losing our original one to fire in late 2010, I read about these in a book from Taunton Press on Home Construction. I was able to erect 10' 2"x6" framed walls 25'-45' in length complete with OSB siding installed using only three people (one for a tagline). Absolutely incredible! I raised the walls on a slab, so I had to use a different method than the instructions cover. Due to having already stained the concrete floors, they are essentially finished, and I couldn't use concrete fasteners to attach the bottoms of the jacks to the floor. In order to keep the jacks from kicking out from under the wall in the middle of the lift, I built a couple of small wood "sleds" for the jack bases to ride on. I tied the "sled" to the bottom of the walls with 1/4" steel cables, via a 3/4" hole drilled in the center of & about 4" from the bottom of the 2x6 stud inline with the jack. I propped the bases of the walls up with blocks in order to clear the anchor bolts, and they dropped right down on them. We use a 12# sledge to bump the base of wall into final position over the bolts, then removed the blocks. It worked great. Be sure to use a tag line, or some other way to stop over-travel. The wall will tend to try to fall away from the jack into and beyond the vertical position when it gets to within about 10 degrees from plumb at the end of the lift. Also VERY important!! Be sure the 2x4" used for the jack posts are flawless!! No knots or cross grained wood. You need very straight grain. These posts will have a lot of load on them, especially at the halfway part of the lift. Failure of one post will likely cause failure of the other one and at the very least damage your wall and possibly smash someone like a flyswatter. So be careful always stay out from under overhead loads. If used correctly these things are awesome.

Only buy these or qual craft. DO NOT BUY KNOCK OFFs!!! Only buy Guardian or Qual craft. They are the same arnd both embossed with Qual Craft. The knocks offs are dimensionally wrong and do not work and very dangerous. Tried getting the chwap one here on amazon. Amazon should immediately stop selling any knock off before they have a lawsuit. Luckily amazon returned and refunded promptly. Again, inly by Gaurdian or Qual Craft.
