Husky 87247 4500 lbs. Brute Power Jack

Husky 87247 4500 lbs. Brute Power JackInitially impressed but jack failed after three trips and seven months. Jack was never exposed to weather and is only lifting 300 lbs of tongue weight. Seems to be the switch as power gets to it but not out.

All would be fine if Husky honored their one-year warranty but they do not respond to fax, email, or phone. Yes their phone is answered by a machine. Their listed "authorized" dealers do not service the jack.

I may be in luck as I may have found a replacement switch to try. Hopefully that $20.00 won't be good money after bad.

Update: Found out Husky Tow is one of many names used by Coast Distribution System, Inc., Morgan Hill, CA. I have talked to their representatives but so far they will not repair, replace, or refund the jack.

Some of their other names: Arcon Electrical, DTS, Faulkner Furniture, Duraflex, Dock-Rite, Mac Boating. Most list the same Wilsonville, OR, address.

Edit: I wrote the CEO of Coast and had a new jack a week later. This is quiet, smooth, and strong jack, so I've revised my rating

I installed this unit tonight. It took about an hour and required very little work. The hour included securing the tongue with jack stands and floor jacks for stability. This unit seems very heavy duty and simple to operate. I have read good and BAD reviews on almost every brand of electric tongue jack. I spoke with my local dealer and decided to give Husky a try. I am certain I voided my warranty with the installation because I had cut the back side of the base plate to fit against the battery tray but it shouldn't weaken the plate. The motor IS a little slow but flipping a lever verses cranking...I can wait a minute longer. I'll update my review after our first trip.

This jack is very powerful. The Atwood jack that this replaced bogged down and took forever to lift my trailer when it was loaded. This thing is a beast and doesn't even sound like it has any load at all on it. The only downside is the weak lights. My Atwood light had a bright light that lit my combination lock on the trailer tongue but the three lights barely glow and don't light anything.

I had one of these jacks on a travel trailer and I really liked it. I replaced the jack on my present trailer with one of these jacks and it works really well.
