Title: These things are a real pain to use
Review: I bought a pair of these pump jack at Menards, a midwestern version of a discounted Home Depot. They were about $20 cheaper a pair. Anyway, although these things do save time instead of climbing up and down a ladder, they are a real pain to use. They keep getting stuck when I try to lower them, and they even get stuck when trying to raise them. I've experimented with them and found out that on one pump jack, I had to make sure the crank used to lower the jack must be pushed into the square hole as per instructions, while the other pump jack didn't work this way. It didn't matter if The crank was in the square hole or not. And then when I wanted to raise the jack again, I had to use a hammer to knock the crank back out of the square hole since it wouldn't budge no matter what I did. I also STRONGLY recommend using braces every 10 feet of pole height to give the setup more horizontal stability.
