Barbell Jack Evo

It’s a decent price. It does the job. I’m my issues with it more lies in the product category itself rather than the product. I purchased this never owning any deadlift jack and not thinking I had room for a double sided jack. Ultimately it falls over pretty easily you gotta switch sides as you go, the first plate you put on you can’t even use the jack or it will just fall over. In my experience after about 4 training sessions with it and getting annoysith it falling over constantly I gave up and just got the plate started then picked the sleeve up by hand and slid her in like a Neanderthal. Save yourself the money and time and get a double sided deadlift jack trust me you’ll find the space

Solid value for a barbell jack that actually does its job well. It matches the original Evo's performance at a friendlier price point, and the lightweight construction means it's easy to toss in a gym bag for travel or comp day.

I can't really find any bad things to say about this. It's sturdy, lightweight, easy to store, and does its job well. It's a great choice for anyone with space limitations who regularly needs to load a barbell on the floor.

Due to the limitation of space, I recently sold off my full deadlift jack from Titan Fitness and replaced it with two mini jacks: this one, and the one from Ritfit (a review of that one forthcoming). Though extremely light weight (baby!), this jack is very tough. I jacked up five 45lb plates per side with ease. After the test, there was hardly an indent left on the"hook" portion of the jack from the knurling of my deadlift bar. Whatever the "specialized molded composite material" happens to be, it is very strong, and I suspect it will last a long time (though that remains to be confirmed over time). Also, the jack simply looks beautiful, being one seamlessly molded piece. The only issue I had with the jack is that, due to the narrow footprint, it tended to move laterally as I loaded more plates. As such, I would be careful when loading the plates so as not to topple it sideways. (This is a feature that full deadlift jacks have over these mini jacks!)

Perfectly suitable for loading your deadlift bar. Sturdy and stays put and priced fairly. A few more exotic options in this style of single sided but honestly it does exactly what it’s designed to do and a fraction of the cost. Very light weight and really easy to store and tick away.

Work well. Definitely if I had the space I would get a dual jack (e.g. rogue's deadlift bar jack), but these are small and easily fit. I bought two, which was definitely a mistake, they're not stable enough to have both sides up. I'm with others that I worry about durability, but I've had up to 450 lbs total (>4 plates / side) and no issues. I wish they were a bit wider or something as I will occasionally knock it over when I bump the plate into the bar. That being said, these are a good jack especially for the price.

I like this deadlift jack, but I've had a couple of instances where it doesn't lift it quite high enough off the ground to get the weight plates off/on. I've also had a few issues with the jack tipping over but it is a pretty easy fix to reset the jack and try again. It is a cheap alternative, and the build quality is good. I think it should come with a way to hang it for storage, but it gets a lot of use and takes up virtually zero space.

This is a very nice space saving option for a deadlift jack. I don't have the room for a double so this really scratches the itch.

An excellent jack for the price. It’s light and easy to store, but it solidly holds up the bar for loading and unloading. I was nervous about durability, but this thing has been rock solid.

It's everything you like about the OG Genesis jack but in a different material. Thing works great and is a budget friendly option if you don't want to drop the money on the aluminum one.
