Quickfist clamps for Hi Lift?

[mshred]

Wondering if anyone here uses Quickfist Clamps to secure their Hilift or similar style farm jack? Just wondering if they are strong enough and do the job. I have done some searching, but haven't seen anything concrete that convinces me yet.

I like Quickfist clamps but on a hi lift? They might work but the consequences of a failure on something as heavy as high lift aren't worth the risk.

Agreed, not secure enough for something that heavy.

I would not trust a Quickest to hold a Hi lift. Quick is a great product for many applications, shovel or hatchet/ax but the thing is rubber after all and not intended for something that heavy. Hi lift sells clamps that are made for the jack and can be gotten through them, many off road stores or Amazon.
I use these and they work very well

I've always kind of thought relying on them in an accident to hold a shovel was marginal. Certainly not a Hi-Lift. Even a relatively low speed crash will exert several tens of G, so a 30 lbs jack rapidly becomes equivalent to quarter or half a ton.

Quickfist are NOT reliable. Period. Bolt the jack down. Simple, easy, and effective.
