I have been thinking about buying an airbag jack (maybe this one or similar): https://www.vevor.com/pneumatic-car-jack-c_10308/vevor-air-jack-5-ton-11000-lbs-triple-bag-air-jack-airbag-jack-with-six-steel-pipes-lift-up-to-18-5-inch-470-mm-3-5-s-fast-lifting-pneumatic-jack-with-adjustable-handle-for-car-garage-repair-p_010582142840" rel="nofollow - VEVOR Air Jack, 5 Ton/11000 lbs Triple Bag Air Jack, Airbag Jack with Six Steel Pipes, Lift up to 18.5 inch/470 mm, 3-5 s Fast Lifting Pneumatic Jack, with Adjustable Handle for Car, Garage, Repair | VEVOR US
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations about air jacks (not pneumatic hydraulic jack)? |

Not had experience of them, but have seen a few guys on the youtubes using them (and not the kinda fellas to do a shill promo vidya either) and heard nothing but good things. Same goes for Vevor kit in general actually. For the amount of jacking off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4zI4JpMfks" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4zI4JpMfks I do, I'll stick with my old hydraulic ones until they're wasted. May consider one when the time comes though.

I use one to turn my atv sideways in my toy hauler. I set it on a lazysusan I made to turn. Works well but any perpendicular movement is hard on them. Inside is a series of cups that slide together when releasing the air and going down. I imagine they are not very robust. I need to modify some bracing. |

My thoughts would be how much lateral movement can it tolerate? One could bump on the side of that bag with something sharp, and it’s game over. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Thanks a lot. I clicked on it and now I get that add 2 or 3 times a day no matter where I browse. Can't hide. ------------- I used to be young and stupid, now I am not young anymore. |

| That could start a whole another topic, why are there so many ads everywhere you look anymore. Can't read a single news article without interruption midway through. Sorry, just had to vent. Thanks AI...not |

When saying air jack - way back use to have one in shop I worked in back in high school . Was a 8" or so round cylinder with arms attached and a rolling platform under it . Hooked onto shop air and it was like a air powered bumper jack . It had a safety pawl that locked into base as cylinder raised . Seems a lot safer than a airbag type unit for general use . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.
