I'd like one of those - are you bringing them over G?

[Giles]

Yep

I use one all the time.  Try a Jack and then tell me it makes no difference.  It may not for you, but it does for me…

Here's mine.....

ELI5: Why?

I mean, I dig it, I just don't get why it improves the process of taking off a boot.

Just makes boot removal easier, that's all! Must admit, I didn't think much of them myself until I purchased one, now I don't know why I didn't buy one years ago, well handy bit of kit, IMO!

All my boots have huge scrapes on the back of the heels from where I would "kick" the right boot off with the sole of my left boot.  When I invested in some decent boots, I realized I didn't want to tear expensive leather so I got a boot jack. Best 10 bucks I ever spent - saves the heels from being kicked off and you don't have to bend over or sit down just to take your boots off.

I grew up having them around at almost every "high end" shoe store (since I'm from Dallas and everyone wears cowboy boots) but never thought much of it. Now I wish I had used one for year before.  Heck, even my wife uses mine to take her tall boots off haha

@TrickHell:

The wife usually takes my boots off, so hard to see this as an improvement.

Makes sense, who needs a boot jack when you have have a boot jane….

Pulled the trigger on the Role Club jack today.  Really excited to make taking off the boots way less of a hassle.

Fairly new to the engineer game.  Got my Wild Ones maybe 6ish months ago when Giles was selling them for a steal of a deal.  Finally bought a boot jack two weeks ago.  Best $25 I've spent in quite some time.  So much easier to get out of engineers with a jack.
