- There are the Viking Arm ones which are the originals and the most expensive (~$180) and some people swear by them. Then there are DeWalts and Irwins that are slightly cheaper at $120 for DeWalt and $100 for Irwin. All of these have similar weight ratings around 330lbs.
- Alternatively there are a plethora of options from Amazon in the $20-60 range for a pair. These list weight ratings of 300-650lbs, although that is usually the combined rating for two. I have not seem any of these in person but, from what I can tell they are more flimsy. I am also skeptical of the purported weight limits. Like many things on Amazon, some of the listings have different ratings in the titles, images and descriptions. While I know DeWalt and Irwin often fall short of their published specifications, I am a lot more trusting that they come close to their ratings. My perspective is that a tool holding up significant weights that could fall and damage workpieces or body parts is not something I want to leave to chance. (An emergency room bill would greatly exceed the additional cost of the tool).
Between the DeWalt and Irwin, they are pretty similar, which is no surprising since they are both Stanley Black & Decker brands. However, the DeWalt has the trigger as the top of the two squeeze handles which allows it to be adjusted with your foot, whereas the Irwin has the trigger on the bottom. Currently, the Irwin is $79 from Lowes, so same price as this deal.FWIW, I have a pair of the DeWalts. I bought them both from Fasteners but at different times (one for $89 and one for $79). They are very solid and don't feel like they are strained under load.
Two should be rated for 660 lbs. I have been using these and they can hold up a lot. My concerns from my usage is being able to distribute the weight with the two points as well as getting it high enough for your usage.
They are strong enough, it would just be awkward as they don't have much of a lip. I would probably use an auto jack for that if you need an assist.

Other than, or honestly really even including that, these things are great. Another big thing is that it replaced my winbags for hanging doors
The Dewalt version is a beast. The Irwin is no slouch and extremely similar in build quality. I went in on two of the Dewalts when they ran this deal in September and was surprised at the heft of these. I have been using a pair of the "best" (according to Amazon) Chinese version of these jacks ($70/pr) for a while and they do the job but they are half the size and weight of these.
Recent uses for the Dewalts: jacking up a washing machine that crapped out that still had water in it so I could get a dolly under it. Like butter. I had used the Chinese version to lift a solid core bedroom door into place to mount it to the hinges but the Dewalts allow you to bolt the jack to a hardwood base which dramatically increases it's stability which would have been really handy for the door install. Also used them to jack up a sofa and a filing cabinet so i could adjust the leveling feet. I had used the Chinese knockoffs to raise several five-drawer file cabinets a few inches to adjust their feet as well (one side at a time) and the palm of my hand was killing after a while.
Keep in mind, these also work as a spreader if you need to "push" something into position.
But the ability to use your foot to push down on the Dewalt is why I went with them over the Irwins or Viking Arm. Saves your hand when cranking down to try and lift something that's a few hundred pounds. It also allows for precision raising with your foot when you are working on something higher up.
I am all for American made, but the Viking Arm's price, smaller lifting ledge, and lack of foot operation swayed me. Size-wise, it was comparable to the Chinese knockoffs but much better quality, fit and finish.
Here's a video that describes all three. Don't be confused when he talks about the raising and lowing increments. I can raise and lower in 1/128 increments if i want to (Dewalt). Not sure about the Irwin and VA but I'm sure their just as good. Using your body weight via the foot feature is just a deal breaker for me.
