Yaocom Adjustable Basement Jack Posts — 2-Pack, 19–36 in Support Posts
Product description
This bundle contains two adjustable screw-jack posts finished in a bold orange/red and supplied with a turning bar for manual height adjustment. Each unit is built mainly from steel and intended for supporting joists, basement floors, temporary stairs and other light structural lifting or bracing needs.
Height adjusts from about 19 to 36 inches (48–91 cm). The top and bottom plates measure approximately 3.54 x 5.91 x 1.97 inches (90 x 150 x 50 mm). The screw pole is roughly 1 inch in diameter and about 7.87 inches (200 mm) long. The inner pipe is approximately 1.77 x 0.06 inches (45 x 1.5 mm) and the outer tube about 1.97 x 0.08 inches (50 x 2 mm), providing the telescoping action and screw engagement required for fine adjustment.
Rated center-point load capacity is about 11,023 lb (5 t), making these posts suitable for heavier homeowner tasks where concentrated vertical support is needed. Typical uses include propping up a sagging shed floor, supporting a porch corner, temporary stair or joist shoring, or acting as an adjustable support while making repairs.
The jacks are finished in a bright hue that improves visibility on a worksite and helps distinguish them in a toolbox. Setup is simple: place a jack on a suitable bearing surface or sole plate (timber or steel is often used), extend to near-contact, then use the supplied turning bar to screw the pole to the final position.

Quick fix for a heavy sagging shed
Worked exactly as needed. I propped a very heavy shed floor back into place in about 10 minutes. Solid support and simple to set up.

Built like a tank — held a porch corner
Sturdy metal and strong welds. These jacks corrected a sagging porch corner easily and felt very robust during use.

Fixed a sagging roof section
Straightened a sagging roof area; I set the jacks on 2x6 boards and they held well while I worked.

Smaller than expected but heavy-duty
More compact than I thought, but very sturdy and built to last. Perfect for tight spaces.

Threads arrived dirty but serviceable
The screw threads had manufacturing grime and were stiff at first. After cleaning and applying anti-seize they operate smoothly.

Comparable or superior to pricier alternatives
Quality is excellent for the cost. Welds and finish appear stronger than a higher-priced set I tested; I’d choose these again.
