Trailer Tongue Jack - the kind with a wheel

[Jooky]

Is there a company that makes a good one? Everyone I know has them but they all are crappy. They have a hard plastic wheel and it never seems to want to turn to the direction you want to go. Has anyone "fixed" one to work properly? I oiled / greased mine and it worked great for about a week, now its back to being its stubborn self. I end up kicking the wheel to turn it in the right direction.

STEEL TOED BOOTS...

West Marine has one that has a wheel about 5" wide for use in gravel that is hell for stout. I'm going to put one on my trailer. There about $80.00 I think ask Seafood Man he has one.

Get the Road Warrior "Mighty Wheel" at Boaters World or West Marine for $85. I don't believe any ifish vendors carry it.

This jack is so good, that I can easily raise or lower my 20ft boat, and dual axel trailer, with 1 hand. Before, with the OEM jack, it used to take me 2 hands and a lot of effort. This jack also has a grease fitting for easy lubrication. Even if you think the 1500lb jack will be overkill - get it anyways. This jack is ridiculously easy to use :bigshock: and your arms and back will thank you!

I'll second the Road Warrior. That's the best jack out there.
