I made one using an 18-wheeler air bag. They're light and handy and bigger is better. I used mine to position shipping containers so I left off the lateral movement hinge restraints. That worked perfectly getting my container atop the steel beam base of my previous containers. I used one of my industrial CO2 cylinders to inflate it away from shop air and as many truck owners already use CO2 to air up tires, seat beads etc jacking is a bonus.
Nice demo! Question, now that you've had this over 7 months, have you used it a lot and if so, is it still working well? I'm wondering how these bag type jacks hold up as compared to those 12V scissor jacks and those 12V hydraulic (cheepy) jacks?
To be honest, I don't like the handle at all. I plan on removing it. Then I will like this a lot more. I find I'm on the ground doing the final positioning anyway,, and the handle is just in the way. I've never tried out a 12v scissor jack, but I think this would be more stable since it has a big foot print.
@@DeathTollRacing Thanks for that. I agree, from all the vids I've watched on this particular design, that handle is a weak point. I watched another video on a VEVOR 3-tone (white color of all things) and noticed that the handle is very different. It's not adjustable like that. It just is low to the ground (ish) and doesn't have any areas to kink the hose. I think that I like that better. I don't see the need to "adjust" the handle as we only have a Honda CRV and I'm looking for an easier way to lift it to change the tires. Pretty much, nothing else. I have this version in my Amazon cart right now, but before that, I put in the 5 ton version, red. LOL As I went to complete the order, I noticed that F'ING Amazon wanted $81.xx for shipping! NO FREE SHIPPING unless I signed up for Prime! ROFL I refuse to use Prime. Long story. Anyway, thanks for your confirmation. I really appreciate it.
I want the version with the wheels, but don't want the extended arm. Can I just mount the valve plate onto the base like the standard version without wheels?
@@DeathTollRacing The version from Vevor without the extended arm and wheels are actually more expensive (weird), which is why I'm looking into the one you have. I figure if I can mount the valves on the plate without the arm, then it would be a better option for me. I've been using a Zendex jack for more than 20 years now without issue, but it was super expensive when I first got it. Would love to compare these newer budget jacks
Could you see using to lift a corner of vehicle on your 4-post lift using pinch weld and maybe a pinch weld rubber adapter on the air bag jack? I'm thinking of attempting that.
I think I am going to mod this one for exactly that. The handle is proving to be annoying also. I think id rather just move it around by hand and get rid of the wheels, handle, etc.
If you have any 10mm corrugated conduit around, it might be a good idea to sheathe the airline hose at the joint between the base of the jack and the arm. The bolts as well as the swivel are likely to chafe the airline and that's a surprise you might want to avoid. I have a bunch as it's cheap and easy to come by on Amazon and others, so I sheathed the entire line through the arm just to protect it from my small cluttered garage and abuse.
They used these sorts of jacks in endurance racing during the 1970's and 1980's. Faster than a manual jack, and better for the extreamly tight pitlanes of europe... Cool shit
Can you please provide links for the parts you used to make the air chuck and coupler adapter? I plan to use my air pump like yours instead of buying an air compressor.
Thanks! It’s a 1965 Pontiac Safari Wagon. I did a full build series on this channel on it but it failed to ever take off. Here’s a Timelapse build video of it.

So funny you say that because it’s on my to do list to get rid of the arm and wheels. I also don’t want them after using it a while.

How many gallon compressor do you need? I'm thinking a 3 gal won't cut it? Will a 6?
any size will work, it just may be slow to full height. I think a 3 would do a full lift though.

That’s a great idea!
As im typing the joke about battery tools you bring it to light 🤣

it is fast for sure!

I will. I need to do this yet.
Is that a Willys?
It’s a wet Willy’s.
Can the rubber plate on top be removed to put in like a harbor freight cross beam?
You could modify it to I’m sure, but it won’t be a “bolt on” install I don’t think
Might be great when off-roading in high mountain trails.
Agree
Show that yellow car on the lift , lol

Here it is!
Nice garage
What's up on the lift looks like a 4x4 car/ truck?

@@DeathTollRacing I just got done watching the video time lapse
Killer build super cool
You did a great job
Thanks!!@@johnmoser2689
Great idea so quick and easy
It is. Especially for winter tire changeovers
If you took a air tank it would be awesome for off road.
and some rigs have onboard air too. So it may be a good option. Especially if you take the arm off so it stows easier.
