I have built numerous houses by myself with two of these units.
You can stand up walls with headers and sheathing in place.
Just make sure your 2x4's have minimal knots and are long enough to get the job done.
Since I do this by myself, I always build a positive stop so that the wall won't continue right on over the edge, as it would be impossible for me to get down off of my step ladder and run over to stop the motion of the wall as it moves the last few feet on it's own. One guy couldn't stop a large wall anyhow.
For safety's sake I always make sure that I don't get too far under the wall as it is standing up and make sure that your wall jack 2x4's are situated on top of a floor joist or other material that can handle the extreme weight. Don't rely on the subfloor plywood itself. Also, I make a habit of attaching metal banding to bottom plate of wall to be stood up to help prevent "kickout" of the hinge while standing wall.
Common sense and a little ingenuity can save you a tidy sum of dough, but please be safe. Even a small wall is VERY heavy and will crush you.

I bought two of them to build my house. They work beautifully and must if you are framing your house with only two people.

I have a pair of these and have used them alone and with another worker to lift walls from 8 ft. to 24 ft. in height, and up to 40 feet long. I have even built walls with T-111 siding and windows installed before lifting them, and it was no problem for these. The most important item though is to select the best quality 2x4 as the 'pole' so as not risk it breaking mid-lift and getting someone injured. This has saved my back many times and is worth every penny spent!

This item was a great alternative to the much more expensive metal pole type wall jacks. I just used the Qual-Craft jacks to raise a 32X9 foot sheathed wall. It went up with ease. Two clear Douglas fir 2X4 were special ordered from my local lumber yard as they were not in stock. I quickly cut two heel boards to prevent the 2X4 poles from sliding backwards as the wall was raised. Ladders were required to pump the last few feet of wall as my seperately purchased 3/4" X 3' pipe handles were not long enough to enable the us to remain on the deck while completely raising the wall. A rope was tied to hole drilled in the top plate of the wall and used to keep the wall from going over too far. The product worked well and was much less expensive than other Wall jack sysems.

This is a nice wall jack set up, It works great for lifting a wall, I did a 55 foot 9 foot high wall by myself with this, in windy and wet conditions, the only thing I would watch out for is that once you are going up be ready to go up, coming back down with the wall in near impossible, and could be quite dangerous.
