JackJaw 501 Stake Puller

JackJaw 501 Stake Puller for Extreme Ground Conditions and Long Stakes

JackJaw 501 Stake Puller is engineered for the toughest teardown conditions faced by professional tent rental crews. Designed to extract 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) to 1 1/4 inch (31.75 mm) diameter tent stakes or rebar, this model excels in hard ground environments and with stakes longer than 42 inches (1,066.8 mm). These scenarios commonly occur in tight caliche clay, frozen ground, or other high-resistance soils where standard pullers struggle.

The JackJaw 501 pairs a longer telescopic handle with case-hardened cam-shaped jaws to deliver exceptional leverage. This configuration allows crews to remove deeply set or oversized stakes safely and efficiently while keeping the pulling force aligned with the stake shaft to avoid bending or surface damage.

Why the JackJaw 501 Matters

Hard ground and long stakes dramatically increase the effort required during teardown. The JackJaw 501 is purpose-built to overcome these challenges by converting controlled downward force into powerful upward extraction. By operating through lever action and body weight rather than lifting, it helps prevent back strain and reduces injury risk while speeding up teardown in the most demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Designed for hard ground conditions and extra-long stakes
• Removes 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch diameter tent stakes or rebar
• Handles stakes longer than 42 inches (1,066.8 mm)
• Delivers a 28-to-1 mechanical advantage
• Aligned pulling action helps prevent stake bending or damage

How the JackJaw 501 Works

Step 1: Extend the Telescopic Handle

Extend the telescopic handle to the desired length to maximize leverage. Ensure the handle is fully secured before applying force.

Step 2: Position and Engage the Jaws

Place the puller over the exposed portion of the stake or rebar. Align the case-hardened cam-shaped jaws around the stake shaft so the pulling force remains in line.

Step 3: Apply Downward Force

Push down on the handle using body weight. Applying 100 lbs (45.36 kg) of force generates approximately 2800 lbs (1,270.06 kg) of upward pulling force on the stake.

Step 4: Extract the Stake

The stake is pulled straight out of the ground, reducing resistance and protecting reusable hardware even in frozen or compacted soil.

Construction and Durability

Patented JackJaw Extractors are manufactured in Dayton, Ohio using heavy gauge steel plate and tubing to withstand everyday job site use. The replaceable jaws are made from case-hardened AR400 steel for long wear. To eliminate paint chipping and improve corrosion resistance, the unit features a zinc and clear chromate plating for long-lasting durability.

Usage Notes

The JackJaw 501 Stake Puller is intended for extreme anchoring conditions where additional leverage is required. Always ensure the telescopic handle is properly extended and locked before use. Keep the jaws aligned with the stake shaft to achieve straight-line extraction. Regular inspection and proper operation help protect operators, preserve reusable stakes, and support safe, efficient teardown in the most demanding environments.
