Concrete slab lifting tool version 4.0 details and demo.

In a previous video I demonstrated a tool I design and built to lift concrete slabs. That video is here:Show more

This video is a short demo of the parts I used, some basic details of how they are built, and what is included in the kit.

This tool can lift my cantilever pool deck slabs that had sunk up to 8 inches in some spots. It allows me to keep the bottle jack above ground and avoid having to dig under the slabs. Could also be used to lift up edges of sidewalks or patios.

The design of the tool is similar to a railroad jack with some twists to help getting the tool under the edge of the slab without having to dig under it very much.

After several requests from people who saw this video, I decided to build some of these for those needing one. To buy one, go to my website here: http://www.bdpknox.com. Current lead-time is about 1 week and the design is now on version 4.0 with several improvements from the original.
