Machinery Wedge Jack

Machinery wedge jack demonstration and load test. This is a full function prototype that I build a couple of months ago after seeing a hydraulic version at a friends shop. Enjoy!

    Funny! So, I made the comment about wedges and spent time and money for “discriminating craftsmen”. I have bronze, maple and plastic…. Spent the week moving a heavy safe on a nice floor I used all these tools: wedges, pry bars, wood blocks and a hydraulic porta spreader. Now I need a new tool! Genius and so appreciated of your time and great video.
