pump it up....

any of you guys use one of these air jacks deals? they are all over the place in price with a broad google search. im skeptical over the $150-$200 units, but that's really all I'd want to spend. any real world experiences?

Is there any sort of mechanical catch , or latch. Seems like that could be easily deflated with a hot wrench or other mechanical accident .
Id be worried about the intergrity of the material after several years and contact with fluids, solvents etc.. Just my .02, but what do I know .
Looks like a cool useful tool otherwise . Air jacks are the bomb. We had those big cradle air jacks at the transmission shop I worked at . They would lift 24 + inches with ease, and had safeteys built in
I have a 20 ton air jack for big stuff. I love it

No safety but a separate device can handle that. No safety on a normal floor jack. That will be a boon to off roaders. But I think this has been around awhile, no?

I've REALLY been digging my latest Floor Jack from Harbor Freight. It's for my off road Side x Side, 30" height stroke. High Lift.

Looks cool but I'd be concerned about stability. Fully extended it should be fine but if it's only half inflated it could be unstable or wobbly. Personally I wouldn't get under anything that's not rock solid.

i would not ever crawl under one of these or a floor jack supporting a vehicle. I was wondering how effective they might be in getting me up to simply set jackstands in place. the downside im seeing is that appear to be so wide that after you lifted something getting the jackstand where you want it. i do jeep things so the front pumkin is offset so if you wanna level it there you need to jack 2x to have level jackstand heights.

So, has anybody jumped on one of these yet ? I was getting ready to move my spare heavy duty jack from my shop to my home shop, and honestly , the things are so big, heavy and bulky , I think I am going to spring for one of these air jacks instead .
160$ to lift 11,000 pounds, and it is light and super portable ?



Just wondering if anybody is actively using one .
