Anyone have one of these and have used one. Are these worth it I found it on Amazon for 50 bucks with shipping which is the best price I could find. It looks like it would be a handy thing to have.

Have you used it? I just purchased mine for 50 bucks with shipping. It looks like it would come in handy on the side of the road. |

Trailer Aid is my only lifting device and it works great. Much more stable when changing a tire especially along side of the road with passing big rigs. Only issue I have had is depending on terrain, it may not lift quite enough. I can always dig out from under the bad tire if on sand, or I will place it on a leveling board first to get more height if on asphalt/concrete.

Used mine 3 times with two different trailers. Fortunately, it wasn't on the side of the road but in campgrounds to remove a dangerously strange wearing tire (one of the originals, of course) and have a new tire mounted at a nearby tire store. It is so quick and easy that I'll never be without one. Will feel much more confident if I ever need one on the side of the road.

No, I haven't had to use it ---yet, but I can see where it will be much better then a jack when along side the highway. |

Easy-peasy!! You might want to carry a 2X6 just in case the shoulder or camping spot is gravel. Helps to keep it from sinking in.
Had a flat along I-80 in Nevada a year ago. Narrow shoulder and had to be in the sand. Probably wouldn't have worked without a board.

How much rise does it have? Thinking 2 of these would work for those seriously out of level places I always find to park at and act as a "de-rocker".

Have read that the trailer aid won't work with Equa-Flex, anyone?

It worked for me. I used mine to change a tire on our 335SS.
