My in-laws bought me this for Christmas 2020. The handle wasn't welded on very good, fell off, and I welded it on myself. Other than that, it is a great tool for my workshop. Lifts cars, trucks and farm tractors with ease. I think it is worth the money.
It's a truck air spring... I have them on my 26' box truck stealth camper... Use white lithium grease to lube it, it won't mix with water... The main problem is... It is supposed to work with a vertical load... Not an offset load... Lubing it up however, may help.
I just purchased one of these (April 2021). I am rather pleased with the unit. Haven't lifted anything over 900 lbs (408 kg) so far, but the lift is smooth and controlled. Lowering is somewhat notchy, but for the price and convenience, I have no complaints. Quality (fit and finish) is on par with "normal" Chinese products. I had to remove heavy burrs to assemble the handle sections; the threads for the mid-handle joint needed to be chased. I didn't over-torque any of the hardware based on pervious experience with Chinese hardware (snap). I made a few changes / improvements and will post video when completed. Regards.
I've had mine for 2years might be a little cheap but I never regretted buying it.i mainly bought It because I live on a hill and my other jack' s would start to roll when I would lift the car so the flat surface is sweet. It lift's any car easily. The only thing that beat it was a Ford f-150 Harley Davidson edition were it went up half way then the pressure valve poped out. Besides that works pretty good to me. Yours seems like it goes up pretty rough. I guess I got a decent one. Be sure to use a air line filter for your line. And add some blue lock tight to the nuts of the up and down leavers because they will twist loose.
You're welcome, i just don't want to see video's about people getting injured by this dangerous piece of shit. And i didn't buy a air jack btw, but an old fashion hydraulic one where i have to pump myself and get some free exercise, so good old hydraulics are for real men, and airbags are for the little sissy's.
It needs wheels to move around as the car goes up. Traditional jacks use tires/rollers and the jack moves forward as the car goes up. The jack you have is binding because it is solid on the ground.
Some work into polishing the center stack and it could be more serviceable, if the tolerances weren't ruined. For the price, I would expect better manufacturing. Maybe buy four and pipe them to a single set of valves to run together so that they lift and lower straight and plumb? Might run smoother?
I love mine , yes a bit jerky coming down but if you let the air out slower it doesn't fall so fast . I also put the pad off center favoring the direction the jack is going to be pulled off center as it raises
Do you think it could be disassembled, chucked up on a lathe (preferably), and polish out the rough machining, without making the tolerances too sloppy? Thanks for sharing, t’was exactly what I was looking to see.
Yes. The central telescopic is to stop it collapsing sideways, so I imagine the tolerance isn't critical. I mean it's not a seal for air. If I had a lathe I would be trying exactly that.
I bought two like you have but not with wheels for $115 American dollars each, I noticed the same jerky thing but don't forget you get what you pay for, the real ones are about 300 to $400 each so the Chinese knockoff suck but they still do the job so I can't complain. They have to have that telescopic in there or the airbag would probably fold over on itself. I also had a problem with a air end had to order ones that fit my air tank, I lifted my car with only 40 pounds of air I couldn't believe it
Jes that grease (on sleeves) looked rusty brown, probably from compressed air moisture, I'd say Graphite grease maybe better for that, but If its a generic Chinese product, I definitely wouldn't put ma head under vehicle without axle stands' In case the fecker burst !
bought one and checked fittings etc £74 cheap enough with a spanner and some gas ptfe tape-cheap enough and will lift 7.5 tone lorry one corner on 115 psi, still machining on guide but perfectly usable as 145psi relief
bet it would work well one air bag each corner and a common air manifold for all 4 bags see they are £80 delivered now so about £400 all in is decent enough value
Thanks for making the video, wish I'd watched it before I bought one. At 115psi it'll lift a couple of tonnes but fails at 2.5t so no good for what I want it for.
That thing needs to break in like anything else. I bet after a few months of use it will be a lot smoother. I think I am going to purchase one. Would be nice to have around.
I doubt it, the rust will get worse. I bought an 8t bottle Jack and was rusty as shit, demanded a refund and got it. Sometimes Chinese items can awefully bad.
I sent mine back, wouldn't lift my trucks front end. Felt janky, was really jerky coming down and a little tippy when I DID lift the wife's mini van. Stick with hydraulics if you NEED a jack.
I genuinely laughed out loud so hard at “honkin” lol. I love Scottish people. If everyone on the earth was Scottish the world would be a better place. 😆 Thanks for the review. Your Subaru dropping out of the sky like a rock is enough from me to look for a different brand. Lol. Yikes! 😬
If it's made of rubber and made in China, I won't touch it. They just don't have the chemical know-how to make durable elastomers, from the elastics in clothing to rubber boots on car electrical cables. That being the case, I'd have used silicone grease instead of petroleum-based grease; unless the elastomers in this jack are made of nitrile (synthetic) rubber, they'll deteriorate rapidly. I appreciate your review, though.
I'm not sure if it's made of natural rubber or something like FKM, Nitrile. Given the price, it's probably recycled bin bags. Sadly grease wasn't this jacks issue.
I think you just bought bad quality air bag jack from our country. but it not stand all the rubber bag is bad quality. our rubber bag can warranty 5 days not any chap. if you bought chap within short time. Then I am sure you use little money brought it.
I used to work for a cable company and we limited the amount of scrap plastic we would add to fresh plastic - same for elastomers = rubber - if I added to much burnt scrap in a lab experiment could get that " chinese smell ". - OK for trivial Items in the garden but not something I would like in lifting equipment .
I so wanted this to be good, in principal it could be exactly what I'm after. But you'd have to strip that telescoping section (assuming you even can) and get each section spinning on a lathe with some emery paper and then polish for it to have any chance of being useful... that drop was just savage man PS fellow Scot, nice one!
I am so glad I watched this video of your. I only wish I could see the brand name, but I think I have a fair idea now anyway. That kind of operation would not please me at all. What does please me is that you thought enough of this one to put this video up here. Cheers!
Could buy a semi decent trolley jack for that price. Thanks for your video & review as I was considering buying one but I'll stick to low level jack instead 👍🏼
The way I see it, there are situations where a floor / trolley jack might be appropriate and others where an air bag jack might be useful... Same goes for hydraulic bottle jacks, scissor jacks, and the high lift farm-type jacks... If all you are concerned about is getting the vehicle up in the air as quick as possible and you want it to go to the maximum jack height, the air bag type jack might be a good option... Mine is supposed to be delivered late Monday, so I'll be able to give a better impression after I've used it for awhile...
Has this calmed down / worn off the lathe machining marks at all over time? I'm not sure if I'd be brave enough to lube it with grinding paste and see how much slop that adds after a few hundred cycles...
I didn't even realise these things had that Telescopic Internal Mechanism. Question is, why does it have it, what does it do/achieve? Wouldn't the Bladder(s) alone work?
It helps keeps the jack upright and the jack saddle level. Without the internals the saddle would be able to deform the bag, which could make it slip. It could also topple over.
I’ve just bought the one without the handle, looks the same but is way smoother than that. It’s Vevor brand, I’m guessing a reseller. Looks something wrong with that. I’ve only tested mine on my work van for an hour or so, I use it slowly thou letting the air in and out as slow as I would Jack a trolly up and down. Mine was £95 delivered
@@DavidMcLuckie I’ve go the 3 bag one just for vans I work on, but will probably spend more on a 2 bag one. That rakjak one you have is the one I’ll get but that is some bucks. Seems you can either spend and get the cheapest or expensive. Doesn’t seem a massive range of middle of the road products. Thanks for the upload and reviewing both👍🏼👍🏼
I purchased the exact one today. I'm happy with it but I'm concerned about over-inflating...will it explode if you over inflate? or is there an automatic relieve valve?
I am a retired mechanic, I purchased on of these pieces of shit which is suppose to pick up 6600lbs, dam thing will not pick the front end of my 2003 Ford F250 which is #3400lbs
I'm wondering, could it be fixed or at least improved with a wire wheel? clean it up a bit, maybe change the orientation of the grooves to vertical. might try one of these myself
Just needs the mating faces polishing, least they’re only up from £80 now. Thanks for showing us this video, gave loads of great information. Thanks,'.... Phil
@@DavidMcLuckie Thank you for your answer. According to my calculations I should be fine. Lifting 500kg with an cilinder with a diameter of 30cm requires a pressure of 1.7bar extended to 40cm height the volume should be 28 liters, so even if my tank is only at 3.4 bar, I the jack should still work one time. You hear from me next time I change my tires. Your accent is great, alwas reminds me of Dr. Becket from SGA
DO NOT GREASE! Lest we forget Chinese rubber goes like blancmange inside 18 months - WITHOUT grease. Grease with anything less than silicon or red brake grease. See it as jelly in 3-4 months.
dude after some use it will smooth out and a air bag jack is about speed not about smoothness and its designed to get it up put jack stand under get job done get car back on ground out the door these are often used at race tracks again about speed not smoothness / fluidity if you want smooth use a standard jack.
Well I've been using it for literally years now and it's no smoother than when it arrived. None of the race tracks I go to use cheap chinese air jacks. :)
Thanks for this review. Perhaps you didn’t center it well enough when assembling. It sounds like it was off center and that’s why it was that bad. I think you shouln’t have open it at all. Try to reassemble it and to find the position where the cylinder moves freely. I wonder if only those cylinder/rubber parts are available.
It was bad as it has been badly machined. Did you see the surface finish of the telescopic stabilizer? Opening it had nothing to do with its operation. In fact, I opened it after I had filmed the outdoor scenes.
The smell of "Chines-ium". Not quite steel, not quite aluminum, not quite plastic, not sure exactly what it is but it's everywhere. Thanks for the video!
Getting them all to operate perfectly and evenly raise and not send the whole car flying in any lateral direction from the telescopic sections failing could be very difficult. Could be disastrous. 😬
You shouldn't really work under any jack. It should only be used for lifting and then the weight taken by axle stands. But we all do it. I would imagine the likelihood of failure is greater on a cheap air jack rather than a hydraulic.
@David McLuckie "But we all do it." I do not. I have probably a half-dozen pairs of jackstands in two different heights, and of the shorter ones I have them in both steel and aluminum. The aluminum ones are used where I'm not really getting bodily underneath the vehicle, like doing tire rotations and brakes where I want to be quick and where the danger is already low, and the steel ones are for when I am getting underneath like for fluid changes and chassis lubrication. Out on the road if I have to change a tire, I put the spare underneath the vehicle first, then jack up the vehicle and pull the wheel, then swap the wheel I just pulled for the spare underneath. That way if the vehicle were to fall off of the cheap OEM jack something would stop it before it came all of the way down to the ground or on to me, and the wheel is probably strong enough to withstand damage. At a minimum this avoids damage to the brake, but if I had to get under the vehicle for some reason while it's up then it might leave enough room to keep me alive. Still try to avoid getting underneath though, use the jack handle to retrieve anything that has gotten underneath like any lugnuts that rolled away.
It does squash down a bit more if you stand on it, but it is about the same height as a normal trolley jack. If you've got a low car then you'll likely need one of those low access jacks.
Very poorly made Could be dangerous too, coming down to fast with all that creaking. If you thinking of buying that Your Nuts. I would`nt give it Garaged Space.
Il aurait juste suffit de re-graisser copieusement le piston télescopique et ton cric serait monté et redescendu beaucoup plus progressivement. C'est ce que j'ai fait sur les miens et c'est la nuit, le jour. Pour moi, ces cric pneumatiques sont bien foutus et je ne leur aurait certainement pas mis deux étoiles mais au moins quatre.

You should NEVER get under a car without proper stands no matter what type of jack you use to lift it. Hydraulic jacks can fail instantly too.

That thing is scary, thanks for the heads up mate
It looks pretty cheap but maybe it would work better under a control arm or axle so it only has to go up or down a few inches?
It does work, it's just a bit unnerving when you turn the air on and you get nothing...nothing...nothing...boom six inches in the air. :)
I'm wondering, could it be fixed or at least improved with a wire wheel? clean it up a bit, maybe change the orientation of the grooves to vertical. might try one of these myself
I hadn't thought of that. Assuming it's not hardened it might make the surface a bit better, and then add good grease.
can u review the TORIN air jack? it has the same design but more expensive, so I hope it has better quality
Have you got a link, I can only find air over hydraulic?
Always use axle stands with any jack.
100% absolutely agree. Jacks for lifting and lowering, stands for holding. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
But this guy very cleaver guy he complete about stuff why he order than every want to save money buy cheap stuff than complate
especially air because an air leak can kill you quicker than a hydraulic leak in this application.
Damn the car actually bounced! 09:00

What compressor do you own? I'm interested if this thing can be run from a small 24L/750W compressor.
It's a big 150 litre thing. As long as your compressor can reach the right pressure, it'll just take longer to get there.
@@DavidMcLuckie Thank you for your answer. According to my calculations I should be fine.

Worth taking them out and polishing them properly?

Smooth landing pmsl😂
thanks for letting us know !
Maybe it will wear in and smooth out a little.
Thank mate im going to buy one it will smother out after usage
The smell of "Chines-ium". Not quite steel, not quite aluminum, not quite plastic, not sure exactly what it is but it's everywhere. Thanks for the video!
That pretty much dropped the car back down rather than lowering it 😣
Yes but it was only like $100 US
could you get the cylinders polished up might make it smoother
In theory yes, but that would probably cost as much as buying a good air jack.
Hi I bought something like this and I want to buy a a air compressor do you know what the least psi to use and what is maybe too much...
At 7:21 the tag says max 8kg/cm which is about 113psi. 125psi is common for any small compressor.
Thanks for heads-up! Please name & shame seller? 👍🏻
So really, you want to have 4 of these to lift the car evenly. You could do a flush install into the garage floor, would be pretty cool.
Getting them all to operate perfectly and evenly raise and not send the whole car flying in any lateral direction from the telescopic sections failing could be very difficult. Could be disastrous. 😬
I wouldn't get under that.Im sure its safe bt I wouldn't.I never new that had a telescopic structure on the inside.learn something nrw every day.
You shouldn't really work under any jack. It should only be used for lifting and then the weight taken by axle stands. But we all do it. I would imagine the likelihood of failure is greater on a cheap air jack rather than a hydraulic.
Jack stands my friend, don't trust any jack.
@David McLuckie "But we all do it."
I do not. I have probably a half-dozen pairs of jackstands in two different heights, and of the shorter ones I have them in both steel and aluminum. The aluminum ones are used where I'm not really getting bodily underneath the vehicle, like doing tire rotations and brakes where I want to be quick and where the danger is already low, and the steel ones are for when I am getting underneath like for fluid changes and chassis lubrication.
Out on the road if I have to change a tire, I put the spare underneath the vehicle first, then jack up the vehicle and pull the wheel, then swap the wheel I just pulled for the spare underneath. That way if the vehicle were to fall off of the cheap OEM jack something would stop it before it came all of the way down to the ground or on to me, and the wheel is probably strong enough to withstand damage. At a minimum this avoids damage to the brake, but if I had to get under the vehicle for some reason while it's up then it might leave enough room to keep me alive. Still try to avoid getting underneath though, use the jack handle to retrieve anything that has gotten underneath like any lugnuts that rolled away.
I love your accent. haha. thanks for the video.
Bruce Mofid I concur!
What fitting is on the air hose?
It's not smooth but it works 🙃
Does greasing it make it better?
Sadly no. The machining is too rough.
Funny, I always thought of "honkin" as a southern American word!
Does your honkin' mean the same as ours though? ;)
If the car wheel was flat would it go below the car as I thing it's too high?
It does squash down a bit more if you stand on it, but it is about the same height as a normal trolley jack. If you've got a low car then you'll likely need one of those low access jacks.
Can the air bag be inflated from car cigarette 12volt plug?
In theory yes, if your 12V compressor can produce 100-150 psi.
I wouldn't put myself underneath of anything of ebay .everything I own in its hundreds is faulty of eBay
The smell is formaldehyde remember that nasty shit in science class? Oh yea people in Gulf Coast USA say " honkin" too lol
Wow 20 kg is same weight as nice low profile 3.5 to 18 inch aluminum jack that doesnt require high air psi to operate
How much are they?
@@DavidMcLuckie on ebay in the USA. They are around $150. I say that's a deal for me.
sand the cylinders smooth and see if it's worth it.
Very poorly made Could be dangerous too, coming down to fast with all that creaking.
If you thinking of buying that Your Nuts. I would`nt give it Garaged Space.
For the occasional tyre change it's just about ok, but wouldn't use it if you had to lower for accuracy say if you were aligning a bolt hole.
Il aurait juste suffit de re-graisser copieusement le piston télescopique et ton cric serait monté et redescendu beaucoup plus progressivement. C'est ce que j'ai fait sur les miens et c'est la nuit, le jour.
Pour moi, ces cric pneumatiques sont bien foutus et je ne leur aurait certainement pas mis deux étoiles mais au moins quatre.
Thats bulky, long and has to many attachments, i'd rather use the hydraulic jacks.
Looks like it did as advertised. It lifted the car.
What would you expect it to do not lift the car.
I'd like it to lower it in a smooth controlled fashion, not drop it.
I actually like that chineseium smell. Harbor freight smells that way too
What is the smell though? Is it a pesticide or something.
the smell of cancer
Engage safety Crocs!
At least it works and that works for me thanks😂👍👍
You have to give 1 star just because it costs so little
I gave it two stars.
scots can understand you fine, rest of the world "what the fk is he sayin?!"
If we Americans can decode Brad Pitt in Snatch, we can understand this guy.
@Andy Smythe iim sure if he was on tv his accent would be subtitled for those with a "posh accent" only speaking "queens english"
Great review, thanks!
What a waste of money, thanks for saving me money.
Well done Jock. I was gonna buy one of these. Just shows you get what you pay for. By the way, I love your accent.
I might use that on my lawn mower , but that is about that lol
Great review, would have been nice to see her lift something....🤔
I'd love one, ain't got no air in my mini garage 🤥

Sorry Dave , 🤔
Take care with it mate, bloody Life changing a car suddenly slipping ☹️
Love the Subaru!
🇬🇧 LOL get it wrong and it will throw your car straight over!
They're not quite that powerful. Maybe a Smart car though.
All that complexity for 15"
That's what she said.
You can't beat that Chineseium smell. Pesticide rubbery petrol smell
LMAO @ this guy!
“works but not brilliant”,
... sez it all
Damn that dropped the Subaru like a bad habit. Are you going to be sending that back?
