If it's not stamped you won't know who made it. I contacted Tiger Brand jack posts many years ago. The rep told me their basic screw jack is designed for temporary or additional support, not as a primary support. If the top, bottom and screw are secured they work great and hold up tons and tons of weight.

Here's their link. You can call and talk to someone. That's what I did.

If the pin in the center of the column is not welded it can be knocked out with a hammer and now you have no support. How is that permanent?

Then don't do that then! [;)]

I have read, possibly right here, that the permanent posts will have welded ends, not just pressed or crimped together.

Permanent posts will be heavy gauge steel.

Also when installed, the threaded rod should be welded to the nut so it can't be turned.

If none of the above, you got temporary jack posts. Easy one. [:)]

They're definitely temporary posts. No question.

It boils down to "how bad is it really?".......

My experience, in a simple house, is not bad.

I just shoot from the hip.. 'these are very strong, but temporary... replace them with permanent supports'... and move on.. I don't linger on it... If they asked why they were used, I simply say "I don't know'..

You can tell that the basement area was re-done.

There is about 12 of these posts. I am going to write it up and they (owners) can have someone else bless it.

Thanks for everyones input.
