The pull tab is the automatic overpressure release valve. We had a similar bladder jack when I was a mechanic back in the day. I really liked using it, especially since we had great air in the shop. In my current situation, I rarely pull out the air compressor so the traditional jack is what I use. If it get a dedicated shop, I wouldn't rule out getting a bladder jack.
Wait, are you saying that this didn't come with the nuts and bolts to assemble it? I just got mine yesterday and I'm about to assemble it in a few minutes here. I'll check that. It would be silly for VEVOR to not include nuts and bolts.... hmmmm..
Ok, so I just assembled mine and it is the exact same one as you have, even white. It did have the hardware in a little bag. So for anyone who buys one and if the hardware isn't there, *it should be noted,* for the 4 bolts to mount the handle to the base, use a bolt with a tapered head (countersunk). Using a standard bolt will jut out as seen here. The countersunk bolts are what comes with it and fit into the countersunk holes on the bottom of the plate. Of course, use nylon insert, self locking nuts. This is what came with mine and with this type of bolt, the head is flush with the base plate. Therefore, the entire base plate sits flat on the floor. Also, in my case, I did cut the hose a little bit, so as to remove that loop. I tried to tighten the compression nut without cutting the hose, but it almost stripped due to the angled pressure that the loop caused. I cut it so it would fit with a tiny bit left over (for flexing) and the nut then screwed on perfectly. *Hope that helps.* I tested this on our Honda CRV and it's amazing! No more messing with the floor jack.
@@4x2WagonFamily I ended up buying this and I find that once the cars weight is on it the thing struggles to reach full height. Is it because I’m using a 120psi compressor?

What size air compressor would I need for it?
The rubber boot on air jack always make me think it won't last longer; whereas floor jack is full of metal.
How big of an air compressor did you need to run this?
Not very big. Any pancake compressor should do.

The only issue is there are no spare parts available for these.
Working in sandles, what a joke.
I've worked in my bath robe
Not a problem...
