When driving off-road, it is essential to have recovery equipment. Most reliable sources strongly suggest a Hi-Lift jack, a shovel, and an axe as minimal gear.
In fact, many off-road parks consider these items mandatory equipment.
In fact, many off-road parks consider these items mandatory equipment.
This four-in-one off-road recovery tool (including shovel, axe, pickaxe and sledgehammer) has a two-piece telescoping handle that’s held together with strong, yet easy to operate, quick release Tab-Lok pins.
You can shorten the handle for working in tight spaces by simply removing one of the tubes.
The tool heads have been CNC’s to fit snuggle into the tubes. They are also held in place with TAB-LOK pins.

Only seen it in my mind before. Difference is, my version came with a spare handle and was a lot less expensive. Of course, this version is real, whereas I'm still looking for a place to cast the parts cheaply.

I am seriously considering getting one.
Why?
The shovel and ax I throw up on the roof rack are required pretty much if you off road, and the Forest Service pretty much insists you have that gear with you when off roading in my area.
But how often do they get used?
Not very often, but it is something you want for backup just in case.
With this item from Hi-Lift, it can stay in the rig at all times and be ready, and I do not have to worry about putting it up on the roof and taking it off the roof when I get back from a trip.
I have to do some thinking about this...

unless you got all your storage compartments inside full, that would be handy if you really dont want the stuff on your roof rack. me personally have a level 3 first aid kit, tow rope with shackle and tools to fix most anything that might break, im still looking for fold away shovel & stuff like that. Corey, do you know if someone can cut an extra understeat storage on the other side of the jack on a 2nd gen Surf/4Runner? is there actually space under there to do that or is ittaken up by stuff underneath the vehicle? anyone know if it can be done?????

Without seeing it or using it, I would question the long term structural integrity of something like that, especially if used hard. Is it really built to withstand the forces of chopping or ..uh, "sledging"? 
But then again, it is made by "Hi-lift". Corey, you should get two and then send me one, and I'll help with a YT review of it!

$129, and I happen to have a Central 4WD right down the road from my work.
I may pick one up tomorrow, today is laundry day, that takes priority over shopping
It is a little cheaper going through a retailer, but I am also working something else, but my contact is out to lunch right now.
Think back to what we were doing during the summer.

OK, because I dig you (Well some of you 
) I have secured one of these Hi-Lift HandleAll units for a December/Christmas/Holiday/whatever you wanna call it giveaway.
Stay tuned to the homepage for a link to the announcement section where the contest will be.
The contest will be like the past Summer Giveaways, where you are allowed to post only once in the thread I put up.
Post more than once, and you get the axed out of the contest.
I think we will run the contest to Friday morning the 21st of December.
I will pick the winner that morning before work, and post the results in a new thread in the announcement section.
So stay tuned, one of you members is going to win this.

You are welcome.
I got a nice PDF file from Hi-Lift in the email a bit ago, will be converting that over to a JPG when I am at home.
The unit is coming directly to me, and I will have it before Christmas.
As soon as our software here picks a winner next week, I will contact the winner and try to get it UPS'd to you as fast as I can.
Saturday the 22nd I will take it to UPS reshipper.
I pay the shipping
My local Central 4WD has one in stock, I think I will pick it up tomorrow.
I do kind of want to get all my stuff off of the roofrack, as I am thinking very hard about one of these.
This one to be exact, and it fits the factory rack.

By this time tomorrow a winner will have been picked.
Figure maybe 31.5 without the box.
Fed Ex dropped it off yesterday.
No end caps on the handle, but I am sure one could slip a rubber end or a "T or D" handle over the end inside of the tube.
I may look into doing that.
