      I have the fixed handle version that doesn't fold, so it sidesteps the hose pinch issue.
      The only thing I did on mine was to increase the diameter of the wheels to allow the jack to roll with a slight lift of the handle rather than needing to drag the base on the pavement. What they should have done is use spring loaded wheels that can support the weight of the jack to roll, but then automatically retract when the weight of the vehicle is added. Something like a kick and glide step stool that roll but plant on the ground when stepped on.

    First time seeing this video and I have to share that it was all-encompassing honestly
    It wasn't just a product review; you took the time to truly deep dive into these products and figured out that they needed to be improved and you created that amazing improvement that the company should incorporate into the new VEVOR DOUG Edition!
    That is truly astounding Doug honestly. Plus I love the fact that you strongly push safety and that no one should work under a car using these bladder jacks alone, and that these jacks are to lift your car nice and fast and easily but you need to secure your vehicle with good floor jacks, great stuff!

      I haven't seen any reports of them failing though, but I can't imagine that it's not an eventuality.

      I was wondering what kind of indication there would be down the line as the end of service life is reached, that it needs to be retired.
      Is there any advance notice that it's about to go, such as stiffening or hardening of the rubber, or dry rot cracking?
      Or is it something that might just suddenly let go with a bang with a lifted vehicle?

    The manufacturer of the air bags should hire you to do their R & D! I can see the usefulness of these, but as you showed, they should have done more refinement of them before releasing them. Those pinch points would have bothered me as well. And yes, your "cream" of fabbing those handles "rose to the top" again! I'm envious of your fabrication skills. Yes, I see these as being useful, but I don't think that they're "quite there yet", and for now I still prefer my long-reach, high-lift floor jacks. I don't need to use a block of wood to help raise my vehicle, which I view as sketchy, although I do do it when necessary.

      If it's at all indicative of the weight of the lift, I'm going to tee in a pressure gauge on the release valve side so as to give an indication of the force being applied. It would be nice if they included it at manufacture either way.
      I did try releasing the air through the inlet valve after disconnecting the air line, and it seemed to work almost the same as through the diffuser restriction of the release valve, just quicker.
      The actual pressure during lift is in the range of 40 to 50 psi for the two vehicles I tried, for the 3 Ton version I have. I have to try it with some heavier and lighter ones to better compare.

    • @sadfur8728
      @sadfur8728 Год назад

      I may just replace the release valve with a pressure gauge instead of teeing it in, as it's easy enough just disconnecting the air line and releasing it through the inlet valve when done, and the blow off valve could also be used to bleed some off for fine adjustment if it went over.
      I'd also add some nylon runners underneath the lift plate because it gets all scratched up otherwise when sliding it around under the car, no need to promote rust from that if it can be avoided.

There is no binding or kinking of the feeder line inside the tube because the tube remains in a fixed position ! & IMHO this model is the best design or turn key right out of the box that requires no modifications at all ! & the only drawback is it only comes in the 3 ton , & not in the 5 ton ( blue ) But it is better than the 3 ton one ( red ) I do like the mods You made on both of them !

    If both the 3 and 5 ton models have nearly the same lift height, was there a situation where the 3 ton was unable to lift what the 5 ton was able to?
    The wider footprint of the 5 ton would be a drawback if it added nothing that was necessary to do the job.

  • @fatherguidosarduchi5204

    Thing is if it leans forward as the vehicle goes up then the center of gravity has moved away from the base of the air jack. Thus is is no longer lifting from the center of gravity. To risky as far as I am concerned.

    It is far from better than a jack. 1. Smaller lifting range. 2.Larger height when fully compressed meaning you won't be able to get it under some cars. Don't get me wrong I love mine, but it will never completely replace my floor jack. That said I am thinking about getting another, these work best in pairs.

    Wise mechanics stock quality brass chucks and nipples ahead of time as they're so inexpensive even if you buy Milton.
    I previously made a bag jack from an 18-wheeler suspension bag to raise and shift my 40' shipping containers while expanding my shop (suspension bags do NOT have internals to limit sideways travel but there are videos to address that, I wanted the movement for that job) which worked flawlessly but Vevors are so inexpensive it's not worth fabbing smaller sizes except for mechanics who have bags handy. When jacking anything of size I do like first responders and "capture progress" with wooden cribbing and old alloy rims laid on their sides which is stable even on dirt (which is why so many salvage yards use steel rims, but alloy is much nicer to lift).
    BTW if you use a CO2 cylinder like off-roaders do for tires they work great for inflating the Vevor or other bag jack. I have CO2 anyway for welding and mobile tire topoff so the Vevor lets me swap trailer tires etc in the field using the same CO2 I inflate them with.
