Highjacker and powderjack.
Do your homework on them, they are similar but they are NOT the same.

That Pic brings back memories 
In all fairness he would have replaced the handle....I wouldnt accept a new one
I now have an original Bill Harmon Jack on the way. Buying cheap bit me in the rear on this occasion.
Powder jack was awesome to deal with but the product couldn't do what I needed. That picture is the result of 2 bent poles and 2 broken jack handles before it. Not to mention having to hit the little flipper between jacks to release the mechanism because the pole gets all gouged up.
I am sure they work great for some so don't be giving me any thumbs down....but IMO they cant handle the way I ride for 30-40 days a year.

Can't go wrong with Bill's jack, he stands behind his product.
I bought one of the 1st ones he made and he updated it to the new design for free.

Yes, from what I've seen Bill's jack is definitely better.
Why didn't he call it the BillyJack?

That is SUCH a consistent comment from people that own one of these.
Everyone thinks they are a joke UNTIL they use it for the first time!
Then they won't ride with it.

I've been riding a Yamaha for the past two seasons and found in necessary to carry the jack as I just could not lift the sled if I got it stuck. I went through 3 of the powderjacks in two seasons. Only paid for one and two were sent out on warranty but each one broke or bent after a couple/few uses. So.....bottom line is the customer service at powderjack is awesome but I cannot say the same for the product.
I think the powderjack is OK for a light sled but it cannot lift a Yamaha!
No jack for me this year....going back to a light two smoker which I can actually get unstuck without a jack! LOL

i have had both.
the powder jack broke on the 2nd time using it.. the company sent out the new parts for it..
I decided that i did not want to take a chance on being in a spot where i needed help, and have that jack break on me again.
I bought bill harmons hi jacker and have not had a problem with it. you can easily tell it is made to work over and over again..
If anyone ask me what to get i would tell them without a doubt. "ONLY GET THE HI JACKER" it could save your life...

its not just the rod with harmon's thats stronger , better either... the jack and mechanisms of harmons is so much more durable...
If i would have forked out the the $300 up front i would have saved money.. i am sure if u want one of these jacks that if u dont buy harmons first u will sooner or later... with me it was sooner..

A photo tells a thousand words.
I have owned both jacks now and if you want my opinion, shoot me an email. Buy a High jacker

This will be the 6th winter on my Hijacker. Its been used MANY times and has never failed on me. In fact, nothing has ever been repaired on it.
It will pick up the back of a trenched in Apex no problem. You also come up with other ways of using it too. Ive used the strap around the steering post and pushed against a tree to get out of a tree well.
Also comes in very handy to adjust track tension, shock and rear suspension adjustments. WELL worth the money. Eric

Cannonman brought us 2 new Harmon Jacks today. The difference in quality is amazing.
