Thank you for such an in depth review and for being the first person I’ve seen yet to remove any coverings to reveal any internals. I’m a little disappointed to see that the bottom plate is a physical component of the hydraulic reservoir. I too assumed it was a plastic covered bottle Jack. Oh well. Still seems like a handy road side assistance kit assuming it holds up.
Thank you Bryan for the comment. Yes, I was very surprised to find what I did under that plate. I am happy to know that there was someone else after all that was wondering what went on inside LOL... Having just that plate does make it a bit sketchy and hopefully they can make this better as I do love this jack and it is a great product that will be helpful to allot of people. It should hold up as long as they are used for emergencies only, but imagine if one of these companies made it serviceable like a bottle jack, then it could be used for more than just emergencies. I did write Vevor and am waiting to hear from them if their jack is built better than the one in this video. I am hoping for some good news from Vevor...
Sir, you did a great job!!! I have the HEELP jack. Very similar to what you have here. I've used it twice so far and it works great. Thanks for a very informative review...👍🏾
That's great and thanks for the comment. If you don't mind, it would be nice to hear how it works for you once you have been able to give it a go. ...And I am glad that I was able to help with this video, - so you are welcome :).
A really great review i dont think the torgue test tho was that good or fair just because this tool to me n lots of ppl is for if u have a flat and need to change to the spare if u on some sort of road trip or even going home from work it is a great tool i feel but u want to get home or get to a hotel without calling triple A or AA or RAC then when u get to ur destination get ur wheel sorted after changing it,... the torques the tool put out are fine to get u out of trouble driving at slower speeds to get where u wanna go, if needs be carry a branded crack bar to give extra leverage after the tool has done its job, but it is the best review i have seen on this so far the torque bit for me let it down compared to other channels...
Thanks Bobby for your comment and thoughts, they are much appreciated and greatly valued. I actually was just checking to see how powerful the torque gun included was, and also to show that it should never be used to actually tighten a lug as it can over-torque the lugs, and instead use a torque wrench. The crack bar idea is perfect for leverage when torquing down the lugs "with a wrench", but I didn't and don't have one (a crack bar). I don't have a whole lot of tools, so I do the best I can with what (not only I but others as well) have on hand. I will look into a crack bar (I am not sure if you mean a breaker bar), and forgive me if I sound dumb lol, and if you have a link to a crack bar on Amazon - it would be greatly appreciated as that is something that I would really like to have in my arsenal :)... Thanks again for the comment and kind words - much appreciated. I learn new things with each video, and from viewers like you - 👍👍👍
I just watched the video again, and I never mentioned anything about not knowing where the fuse was LOL. I am not sure why you would mention this, but you are right - most always we will find a 12v plug fuse inside the plug itself. In the video I mention the extra fuses for this jack are inside the plastic cover on the side of the jack - I think you must have mis-understood what I was saying about the extra fuses :)...
I think there is a valve you can fill it with fluid on the inside. However, it uses a rubber bladder to store the oil, so you may have to use a syringe to inject it, not simply "pour" it in like a regular jack. Anyway I love mine! Takes the bullshit out of changing a tire. Was os sick of using flimsy scissor jacks and difficult hydraulic jacks. Now Daddy just pushes a button!
👍👍 I agree, it is so much easier for sure. I just had to use the pump a couple weeks ago, and was thankful I had it to fill my tires. I haven't found any valve to fill it with fluid, other than taking the bottom off (as in the video) to fill it that way, but it definitely would work, but fortunately, I have not ever had to fill it to this point, so it is good. And I love mine as well. Thanks for your comment and experience - much appreciated.
I was very curious to know what was inside, and after looking - it wasn't what I was hoping to see, but it still works quite well and will be great for those emergencies that do arise from time to time... Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I guess - later is better than not at all LOL.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this review helps in making a decision to purchase one for yourself or a loved-one...

Thanks for stopping by
Evidently you did not watch the video because I did that to see how much the impact would tighten the lugs, and then suggested that no one use the impact to tighten the lugs as it will over-torque the lugs. There is actually a chapter just for that test: 43:04 - Testing strength of 12v Impact Wrench
FYI, they are not torque sockets, they are impact sockets. And checking torque while removing will not be accurate. Torque is measured while tightening.
I just realized what you meant by the manual release plug... You are talking about the safety valve. No I would definitely say that would not be the place to add any fluid. I am going to have to give that a go just to be sure.
I think just check at the plate you removed, look at it in it's side near plastic casing, look at the back side of the plate, you will see a hidden alen scew, you must remove the plastic casing to access it, I hope that is it.
@@Outside-In. glad you made video for this electric jack, it will be of great help to those who purchase such a car jack. Just made me try to locate the things you where not able to explain, like the refill plug and where the fuse is located, making me aware to try to locate it incase I need to service it. Thanks for the video, and glad you reminded that it could damage the tread of cars while using the tire wrench that comes with it. I am glad to watch your video, if I used it on my car, I could have damaged the tread of the stud bolts.
@@louismaliaman230 Yes, just make sure that when you put the lugs back on the wheels, start them on the studs and tighten by hand - then use a torque wrench to tighten the lugs, using the electric ratchet could easily damage the lugs. That electric wrench is pretty powerful LOL. Thanks for the comments, and let us know how it goes if you get this jack.
@@louismaliaman230 If you are talking about the allen screw under the handle - that is not a fill plug - that is the emergency let-down for the jack in case it gets stuck coming down. I don't think these jacks are built to be serviced because they are intended for emergency use only and not as a daily tool. It is good to know however, that if we do want to service them - we can even if it is a little on the difficult side. Removing the bottom plate will allow us to add hydraulic fluid if we need too.
Great Review. Would you happen to know the minimum height that one would be able to fit the Jack underneath the car ? Had a flat tyre & had to change tyres yesterday & the scissor jack could barely fit under the car. I'm interested in getting this jack but concerned the jack wouldn't be able to get underneath the car. Thanks for your answer
Thank you Brian for the comment. This jack that I purchased is 5.5 inches minimum height from ground to top of jack when completely lowered so that would be the clearance. I know what you mean by a flat tire - the lack of clearance at that point really reduces the chance of getting a jack underneath the vehicle. I hope this helps. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't get a jack underneath from the side of your vehicle, you can try and lift from the back enough to raise the height of the side of the vehicle - you could carry a block of wood to use to lower your vehicle onto the frame at this point, then remove the jack from the back of your vehicle so that you can now raise (have enough clearance) from the side of your vehicle. I hope that makes sense...
@@brianlabode4415 I found myself in a similar situation, and fortunately there was a piece of concrete on the other side of the parking lot where I was at that was the perfect size for using as a crutch (if you will) to prop my truck so I could re-position my stand to finish my tire change. A light-weight scissor jack may be a good idea at that because if a person is out in the middle of nowhere there may be nothing to use. If you purchased this jack and just kept your original scissor jack in your vehicle then you would have "that extra jack"...Just a thought.
You know what I didn't like you fast forward through the part where you started the Jack it up to when it finally raised the tire, but yet here you are wasting a bunch of time on this torque the lug nuts and not fast forward through that so why do you fast forward the Jacking up of the vehicle? My whole reason for watching videos on this Jack is to see how long it takes to Jack up the tire off the ground and one guy didn't even show it he skips over it and then showed it finally jacking the tire up a little bit off the ground.
Thanks Don for the comment and "suggestion"... I took your comment as a request to show the time it took to raise my truck to get the tire off the ground, so I created a re-vision to this video with a clip from the original - showing the actual time it took to raise the truck. You mentioned that no-one shows this information and that is why I created this clip for you. This is the link for the re-vision and new information: ruclips.net/video/rRLcMXN7uOE/видео.html and I hope that this answers your question. I am now uploading this, so it may take a little while for RUclips to re-compress it for viewing in HD and standard resolution. Thanks again for your comment Don and I hope that I have answered your question with this.
If this was a 100% gear driven system - you would have to crank it down. This comes down by letting off pressure with a safety valve which indicates a hydraulic jack just as advertised. The fluid inside is definitely hydraulic fluid and not just oil. This is made like a hydraulic bottle jack, it just does not have a fill plug unfortunately. I am assuming since it comes down via a switch which seems to be gear driven, it must be hydraulic/gear driven. You know, I do believe this is working on an actuator type setup. When you press the button to raise the vehicle it is just doing some sort of pumping action just as you would a regular bottle jack. I don't think there are any gears in these jacks. After looking inside again, there are no gears at all in this jack, so why I believe this is just an electric pumping mechanism for raising and lowering the jack.
I have a heavy duty power plug in my truck, and thought I mentioned that but not sure, and sorry about that. Let me look into that, and I will let you know. Great question for sure, and wish now I would have covered that in the video.
I could not find anything, but then I got to thinking about how to go about this problem. You can plug this directly to your vehicles battery, which will give you the power you need... also, you could install or have installed a heavy duty power plug into your vehicle that is connected straight to the battery. That would require drilling a hole through the firewall, but make sure you insert a rubber grommet in the firewall hole for the power wires to go through, and also adding a 10 or 15amp fuse as well. If you are not comfortable with such a task, I am confident you could find a garage who would be willing to do this for you. Hope this helps.
Actually, this should work just fine for your Toyota. These are made to work in cars and trucks, so it should be fine, but like I said, you can always plug directly to your cars battery. If you want to try this on your cars power socket, just have an extra fuse just in case the fuse blows, but please don't do what some may suggest by using a bigger fuse, because that could do serious damage to your cars wiring.
Few things. The load that they mention on theri listing is not the load which this jack can lift but its the load of your car. So a 5T would mean that it cna lift one side of the vehicle which is under 5t. so 5t is not the max load. Also there are few other models for the jack, this jack you cna not remove the scew extension and put a longer one. but there is one where you can add a longer extension. they look same so dont get fooled. Also the Torque wrenches are also different.
Good information to know. I am new to these things, so I am still leaning about them, but none-the-less, a great tool for those who may be a little older or have disabilities.
@@Outside-In. There is no doubt but the reason that I am mentioning this is because if someone tries to lift 5t with a so called 5t jack they might get hurt. They dont put it in the listing but someone contacted them for this question and that was their reply.
@@wonderwalls3565 Maybe that would be a good test for the "Torque Channel" - How much weight is safe to lift with these jacks?... Mine seemed to hold up my 6100 lb. truck pretty well for (must have been) about 5 minutes without coming down so I would guess it was holding around 1500-2000 lbs. for the one wheel off the ground. I don't have a way to test the lift on this or any jack, but I am safe to think that because they mention it being for a 5T vehicle that lifting one wheel at a time of a vehicle that size would be safe. In other words a person would not want to lift the wheel off the ground of a 10T vehicle... Great information though wonderwall, and I/we appreciate your input on this. I am all about safety so the more information the better yes???...
@@Outside-In. I'm getting one of the air jacks, and I wonder if that could be used as a rough indicator of the actual weight being lifted on the vehicle. The air pressure should have some correlation to the actual weight, so putting a pressure gauge on the air line should give at least a rough idea.
I torqued the lugs down with the torque wrench to see if the gun could take them off, I then torqued the lugs with the gun and then measured the torque with the torque wrench, so I measured both ways, so I am not understanding your question... I just woke up, so maybe my mind isn't fully operating yet LOL. ... and if you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting, then NO, you should never ever use your vehicles wheel lugs as a test-rig LOL .. I would rather that be left to the "Toque Channel". Unless you mean I should have torqued the lugs with the gun, then loosened the lugs with the torque wrench to measure the torque - but at that point you have turned your vehicle into a test rig and not a good idea, besides I don't think the reading would have been too much less than what I showed in my testing strategy.
@@Outside-In. "I then torqued the lugs with the gun and then measured the torque with the torque wrench" when you were measuring this you should have tried to undo the lug nuts rather then tightening them. Undoing would have showed you how much torques was needed to undo the lug nuts. When you were tightening the lugs nuts and measuring the torque then you were measuring the torque that you have applied with the hand wrench and not measuring the torque which the torque applied by the electric wrench. Also can you add your torque meter between the electric wrench and the socket on electric wrench? I have never used a digital one so I dont know.
@@wonderwalls3565 Yes, at the end of my comment I mentioned this, but you are right, I should have loosened the lugs with the torque wrench to test the torque, but wasn't thinking along those lines when I did this as most people when testing torque do the way I did and guess that is why (by instinct) I tested the torque by tightening instead of loosening. But your way definitely would give a more accurate reading... "Also can you add your torque meter between the electric wrench and the socket on electric wrench?" I was actually thinking of doing that until I remembered watching a "Torque Channel" video (can't remember which) that said you should never use a digital torque wrench adapter on a torque gun. Besides I don't think it would be that accurate anyway, and I also believe it would be very bad for the adapter as it would be putting allot of un-due stress on it leading to damage. The best way to do what you are asking is to use torque sticks, but I can't afford to get them. The "Torque Channel" has some really good videos about torque sticks if you are interested. Thanks again wonderwall for all your comments as they have been very informative and in-lightening ;).
@@Outside-In. digital torque adapter tool is wholly unable to measure the impulse torque from an impact wrench, even in peak reading mode. It needs a certain amount of measurement time to get the readings, and the brief spike can't be measured properly.
34:00 not sure what the idea behind this measurement is, but doing that does not in any way measure the torque of the lug nuts. The meter just measures the amount of torque being applied by the wrench, if you applied 300 foot lbs with the wrench, that's what it would read. Loosening rather than tightening would have some half way useful information, but even that will not indicate what the nuts were torqued to, but instead show a higher than actual value, due to stiction. The beep from the dta is simply from what was set on it by the user, such as 150 ft lbs. It just beeps once that level of torque is applied, it's not a "measurement complete" indication as it appears to be mistakenly thought to be. The beep is like the click on the standard click type torque wrenches, to tell you to stop trying to push further as the desired torque has been reached.
Thank you Kelvin, You are right and I am working on that, but it is hard to cover so much detail and not over-talk it LOL, but I am trying to get better at not rambling too much. I have another video coming up that will really test my ability to cut out too much talk... Sorry I put your wife to sleep - it was not my intention to be boring, but it is comments like yours that will help me pay attention to not rambling.
Finally they have something 4 elderly , women ,and disable when changing suvs, pickups, or van tires!!!!
Right Gary - Finally. This is a great jack for the elderly or someone with disabilities..

6 inch clearance is needed to fit the jack, maybe I’ll, wait until I see one made in Japan or Germany
Sounds about right. 👍

Tighten with impact then see how much to loosen.
Evidently you did not watch the video because I did that to see how much the impact would tighten the lugs, and then suggested that no one use the impact to tighten the lugs as it will over-torque the lugs.
There is actually a chapter just for that test:
43:04 - Testing strength of 12v Impact Wrench
FYI, they are not torque sockets, they are impact sockets. And checking torque while removing will not be accurate. Torque is measured while tightening.
Thank you for the information, it is much appreciated.
My guess is you can fill it up with hydraulic fluid to the manual release plug.
I just realized what you meant by the manual release plug... You are talking about the safety valve. No I would definitely say that would not be the place to add any fluid. I am going to have to give that a go just to be sure.

Great Review. Would you happen to know the minimum height that one would be able to fit the Jack underneath the car ? Had a flat tyre & had to change tyres yesterday & the scissor jack could barely fit under the car. I'm interested in getting this jack but concerned the jack wouldn't be able to get underneath the car. Thanks for your answer
Thank you Brian for the comment. This jack that I purchased is 5.5 inches minimum height from ground to top of jack when completely lowered so that would be the clearance. I know what you mean by a flat tire - the lack of clearance at that point really reduces the chance of getting a jack underneath the vehicle. I hope this helps. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't get a jack underneath from the side of your vehicle, you can try and lift from the back enough to raise the height of the side of the vehicle - you could carry a block of wood to use to lower your vehicle onto the frame at this point, then remove the jack from the back of your vehicle so that you can now raise (have enough clearance) from the side of your vehicle. I hope that makes sense...

It doesnt have a fluid plug because its not hydraulic. The oil in it is just lube. The actual lifting is done via a rotational gear drive system

You can plug this directly to your vehicles battery, which will give you the power you need... also, you could install or have installed a heavy duty power plug into your vehicle that is connected straight to the battery. That would require drilling a hole through the firewall, but make sure you insert a rubber grommet in the firewall hole for the power wires to go through, and also adding a 10 or 15amp fuse as well. If you are not comfortable with such a task, I am confident you could find a garage who would be willing to do this for you. Hope this helps.
Actually, this should work just fine for your Toyota. These are made to work in cars and trucks, so it should be fine, but like I said, you can always plug directly to your cars battery. If you want to try this on your cars power socket, just have an extra fuse just in case the fuse blows, but please don't do what some may suggest by using a bigger fuse, because that could do serious damage to your cars wiring.
Few things.
The load that they mention on theri listing is not the load which this jack can lift but its the load of your car. So a 5T would mean that it cna lift one side of the vehicle which is under 5t. so 5t is not the max load.
Also there are few other models for the jack, this jack you cna not remove the scew extension and put a longer one. but there is one where you can add a longer extension. they look same so dont get fooled.
Also the Torque wrenches are also different.
Good information to know. I am new to these things, so I am still leaning about them, but none-the-less, a great tool for those who may be a little older or have disabilities.
@@Outside-In. There is no doubt but the reason that I am mentioning this is because if someone tries to lift 5t with a so called 5t jack they might get hurt. They dont put it in the listing but someone contacted them for this question and that was their reply.
@@wonderwalls3565 Maybe that would be a good test for the "Torque Channel" - How much weight is safe to lift with these jacks?... Mine seemed to hold up my 6100 lb. truck pretty well for (must have been) about 5 minutes without coming down so I would guess it was holding around 1500-2000 lbs. for the one wheel off the ground. I don't have a way to test the lift on this or any jack, but I am safe to think that because they mention it being for a 5T vehicle that lifting one wheel at a time of a vehicle that size would be safe. In other words a person would not want to lift the wheel off the ground of a 10T vehicle... Great information though wonderwall, and I/we appreciate your input on this. I am all about safety so the more information the better yes???...
@@Outside-In. I'm getting one of the air jacks, and I wonder if that could be used as a rough indicator of the actual weight being lifted on the vehicle. The air pressure should have some correlation to the actual weight, so putting a pressure gauge on the air line should give at least a rough idea.
@@sadfur8728 That sounds like a good idea; but I would not trust the gage as it does not give accurate enough readings.
Should not you be undoing the lug nuts to measure the torque?
I torqued the lugs down with the torque wrench to see if the gun could take them off, I then torqued the lugs with the gun and then measured the torque with the torque wrench, so I measured both ways, so I am not understanding your question... I just woke up, so maybe my mind isn't fully operating yet LOL.
... and if you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting, then NO, you should never ever use your vehicles wheel lugs as a test-rig LOL .. I would rather that be left to the "Toque Channel". Unless you mean I should have torqued the lugs with the gun, then loosened the lugs with the torque wrench to measure the torque - but at that point you have turned your vehicle into a test rig and not a good idea, besides I don't think the reading would have been too much less than what I showed in my testing strategy.
@@Outside-In. "I then torqued the lugs with the gun and then measured the torque with the torque wrench" when you were measuring this you should have tried to undo the lug nuts rather then tightening them. Undoing would have showed you how much torques was needed to undo the lug nuts.
When you were tightening the lugs nuts and measuring the torque then you were measuring the torque that you have applied with the hand wrench and not measuring the torque which the torque applied by the electric wrench.
Also can you add your torque meter between the electric wrench and the socket on electric wrench? I have never used a digital one so I dont know.
@@wonderwalls3565 Yes, at the end of my comment I mentioned this, but you are right, I should have loosened the lugs with the torque wrench to test the torque, but wasn't thinking along those lines when I did this as most people when testing torque do the way I did and guess that is why (by instinct) I tested the torque by tightening instead of loosening. But your way definitely would give a more accurate reading... "Also can you add your torque meter between the electric wrench and the socket on electric wrench?" I was actually thinking of doing that until I remembered watching a "Torque Channel" video (can't remember which) that said you should never use a digital torque wrench adapter on a torque gun. Besides I don't think it would be that accurate anyway, and I also believe it would be very bad for the adapter as it would be putting allot of un-due stress on it leading to damage. The best way to do what you are asking is to use torque sticks, but I can't afford to get them. The "Torque Channel" has some really good videos about torque sticks if you are interested. Thanks again wonderwall for all your comments as they have been very informative and in-lightening ;).
@@Outside-In. digital torque adapter tool is wholly unable to measure the impulse torque from an impact wrench, even in peak reading mode. It needs a certain amount of measurement time to get the readings, and the brief spike can't be measured properly.
34:00 not sure what the idea behind this measurement is, but doing that does not in any way measure the torque of the lug nuts. The meter just measures the amount of torque being applied by the wrench, if you applied 300 foot lbs with the wrench, that's what it would read. Loosening rather than tightening would have some half way useful information, but even that will not indicate what the nuts were torqued to, but instead show a higher than actual value, due to stiction.
The beep from the dta is simply from what was set on it by the user, such as 150 ft lbs. It just beeps once that level of torque is applied, it's not a "measurement complete" indication as it appears to be mistakenly thought to be. The beep is like the click on the standard click type torque wrenches, to tell you to stop trying to push further as the desired torque has been reached.
Gentleman wastes a lot of time on petty issues as opposed to getting to the substance of his video; that being the functionality of this product.
Thank you Elliott for your comment, it is much appreciated.
Chinglish lol
Men you talk to dammmmuch. I was trying to show my wife she fell asleep
Thank you Kelvin, You are right and I am working on that, but it is hard to cover so much detail and not over-talk it LOL, but I am trying to get better at not rambling too much. I have another video coming up that will really test my ability to cut out too much talk... Sorry I put your wife to sleep - it was not my intention to be boring, but it is comments like yours that will help me pay attention to not rambling.
