When they invented the lever I wonder if they knew it would sell so well.

That's a winner! I've just used a 2x and a 45degre angle (a lever to
convert horizontal to vertical motion) and pulled them with a rope
tied to my truck but that's even easier than bringing the truck
around.

The problem is that both techniques need an in-tact post. Often
they're pretty well rotten (the reason they're being replaced).

That's true... some just *have* to be dug out.
There are lots of mechanical post pullers available at the farm stores.
That's what got my buddy and I thinking about how we could make our own
with what I already had. No need to buy one just for a couple dozen
posts.

HAHA!! Yes, there are very few original ideas left in the world.

Funny, most of the manufactured post removers are simply altered
versions of the old bumper jacks talked about in those threads.

The old "jaxk-all" or "handyman" jack works even better. a wrap of
chain around the post, hook over the snout of the jack, and "bob's
your uncle" -- Even an old bumper jack works fine - and a lot easier
to manipulate into position than the trolley jack.

True! I stated in another reply that most of the manufactured post

be a million uses for one of those given enough attachments.

Sure, but the beauty of the shop jack is that everyone has one
(right?). There is no need for anything special (I really don't want
to take the car jacks out of the car - ever ;-). OTOH, I could
probably use a bottle jack from time to time (generally use a shop
jack because it has a lower profile).

As I was reading this thread it occurred to me that many modern vehicles
in the US no longer have a Post type jack but some version of the older
screw type jack.

I have had a 2002 Cavalier, 2005 Astro , and a 2010 Cobalt, and all had
screw type jacks.

Are you talking about the scissor jacks?
I think the reason (besides space) that they changed the style of jacks
that come in cars is because of safety and the fact that cars don't have
real bumpers any more. Try lifting a newer car by the bumper and see
what likely happens. :-)

Also, those bumper post jacks could slip out very easily.

Honestly, I don't know what sort of jack my last three or four cars
have/had. I never used them. I think the last flat (so flat I had
to, or could, change the tire) was on my '78 Ford and that was in '85
(just before we got the '85 Voyager).

I have used an 8 foot 4x4 and a chain with good results. Put the chain
around the 4x4 about a foot up from the end, then wrap double around the
post, and link them both tightly together. Lift up on the 4x4. To get
another bite lower, just lower the 4x4, slide the chain down the post, and
it will grab again when you lift again.

My buddy and I came up with ours in about 10 minutes.
The trip to HF would be thrice that long, plus I'd now have to store
that thing. (I hate uni-taskers.)
Somewhere the line would've been crossed at which I would buy one,
perhaps 50?
But I was done with the job in the time it would've taken me to get to
HF and back.

BUT - it's only good for lifting "T" posts. A Jack-all will pull ANY
post, and jack up your pickup truck, and stretch your fence, and - and
- and.

And with downpressure on an industrial loader you can reseat
"floaters" too. Friend's farm is on top of a hill - hydrogeological
dome. It's one big spring underneath - building concrete sealed silo
they had to put twice as much concrete under ground (concrete boat) to
float the silo as was used in the silo. Every spring he needs to push
half the wood fence posts back into the ground - one advantage of
steel posts is they don't "float".

Place an old car rim (no tire) as close to the post as possible and

A 2x, placed at a 45-degree angle from the post down to the ground
does the same thing. It has to be blocked at the top and the bottom
has to be braced against the ground, though. The jack sounds a lot
easier, though.

Screw/scissors jacks don't leak, either. Bumper jacks take up more
trunk (or back seat) space and are dangerous (all jacks are dangerous
but nothing like a bumper jack). As has been noted here, modern
bumpers wouldn't survive a bumper jack if you tried. In short, good
riddance.

My comments are referring to post pulling, The bumper jack will give you
several feet of travel before repositioning.

As far as car jacking, given a bumper that accepts a bumper jack, the
only advantage (in my mind) is not having to crawl on the ground to
position a bottle or screw jack. Beyond that, bumper jacks are freaking
unstable on anything but a solid surface. In a 4x4 the advantage of a
bumper jack is you often need several feet of travel to unload the
suspension before the wheel leaves the ground.

trunk (or back seat) space and are dangerous (all jacks are dangerous
but nothing like a bumper jack). As has been noted here, modern
bumpers wouldn't survive a bumper jack if you tried. In short, good
riddance.

My comments are referring to post pulling, The bumper jack will give you
several feet of travel before repositioning.

As far as car jacking, given a bumper that accepts a bumper jack, the
only advantage (in my mind) is not having to crawl on the ground to
position a bottle or screw jack. Beyond that, bumper jacks are freaking
unstable on anything but a solid surface. In a 4x4 the advantage of a
bumper jack is you often need several feet of travel to unload the
suspension before the wheel leaves the ground.

And better than a bumper jack for length is a Rail Road jack - it is 6'
long! Those will jack up a SUV when over some rocks and has strength
to do it. The only issue is finding one. Some have Tractor jacks
almost the same. Tall ones. Tractor sales or third party tractor sales.

Yep, The HighLifts are the 'go-to' jack for the off road crowd.
Basically a re-engineered version of the old bumper jack and they tuck
right up to a roll bar for easy access and storage.
