I'm at the point where I won't hardly buy a tool unless you've reviewed it.😄 Keep it up sir, great videos👍
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me and keeps me going!!
Exactly. When you're at a store looking at your phone. People assume you're checking Amazon prices. Nope, searching Project Farm reviews. 👍
@@ProjectFarm . Most definitely like ya information videos, because I don't have to learn The hard way nowadays when I spend my Good money. Ha.Ha.Ha & God bless !!!
Pretty much anything I'm interested in gets typed in followed by "project farm" and if it's not there yet I wait ❤️😉🤘
Facts! He's actually caused me to go buy stuff just because he gives it his seal of approval
They preformed better that I expected, especially the impacts.
Thanks for the feedback.
We've all forgotten power tools used to be wired you can make a lot of power when you don't need to worry about interchangeable batteries
@aarongonzalez2156 ya but it's 12 volts @ 15 amps or 1/10 of plugging into the wall
The Torque Test Channel did a video on egg beater impacts. They're an interesting tool.
You may think these impacts are good, but they are shit. Good for ppl that get their tires rotated often and torqued to spec. But very few ppl torque to spec these days. Every just blasts them on w far more powerful impacts. I have a decent impact rated for 550 ft lbs and it often struggles, because ppl just blast them on w more powerful impacts. Still better off cracking them free by hand before lifting the car, then use these to finish removing. And absolutely tighten with a torque wrench or breaker bar. Most impact are more powerful in reverse, so these are probably very low powered in forward and can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to tighten wheels. Always check w a torque wrench or breaker bar after
I like to get drunk with friends and watch these while dramatically cheering on one of the brands
A lot better than I anticipated, especially the weird impacts. I think an electric jack is in my future, after seeing what it took to completely wreck them, I don't think I'll force them that far over the edge. Great video, especially the press!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
It's just me, but I don't think I would trust anything to hold up a car that is incased in most likely cheap plastic. I guess just for tire changing their isn't a great deal of risk. Me, I'll stick with the good old metal jacks, even the ones that come with the car. Taking an extra minute or two to jack up the vehicle to feel safer isn't a big deal in the scheme of things when you think about it.
@@trvman1me also I can't trust electric jack It can easily go wrong
@@trvman1 They are designed to jack up the car not to be a jack stand.
NEVER get under a vehicle held up by any jack - steel or plastic or whatever. The jack is just to raise the vehicle. Jack stands are mandatory. They found a deceased person pinned under a car recently trying to steal a catalytic converter. His jack failed. 😞
The blow up jack works really well in the sand. That's about the only thing they are good for. We have them for our hiluxs in case we bury them. Then you can push sand under the tires. Awesome video man!! You do an awesome job.
Yeah, they are really designed for helping you off road since they have great surface area, and you can push the vehicle onto better terrain.
Air bag lifting jacks are what we use to lift jet airliners if they go off a runway or taxiway into grass mud or sand. It's pretty amazing to see it work.
Great point on the off road utility of the exhaust jack!
Do you fill it off the vehicle exhaust or use an air compressor? 🤔 (Have wanted to experiment with these more than once!)😎✌️
@M. Gustafson if the truck or car is turboed it works better than NA
I'm shocked that those dinky impact wrenches were able to remove nuts tightened to 250 ft/lbs. Very impressive!
Great point!
Yep they spin up for a second before delivering the impact. Not very many impacts per second but it only needs to loosen.
Torque Test channel tried them out and was actually loosening a bolt at 800 ft-lbs.
The rinky-dink eggbeater thing was smoking after 60 seconds but had already taken it down to 750 ft-lbs.
If you gave it time to cool down, I think it would actually be able to do it!
What most ppl dont realize, most ppl use far more powerful guns to install wheels. Very fee ppl torque to spec. These things will not cut it unless the person gets their wheels rotated often and torqued to spec. My impact rated for 550 ft lbs struggles frequently, because so many ppl just blast them on w more powerful guns. Also, most impacts arent as powerful in forward, so these can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to install wheels. Better off cracking them free w a breaker bar before lifting the vehicle, then can use these to finish removing them. And always check they are tight enough with a torque wrench or breaker bar. You life, and other ppl on the roads life is not worth being trusted byba cheap tool like these.
No, the point of the eggbeater is so you're not having to jump on the long end of a breaker bar
I thought the tools looked very cheap at first. Then the testing started and I couldn't believe how well the jacks performed. Next the impact wrench test. I didn't think any would work, but they did, all the way to 250 lf-ft of torque. Finally, the failure test was very impressive. These are definitely good tools to have in case of an emergency. And even if your spare tire has lost air, there's a compressor to pump it back up. Very nice!
Thanks!
idk, I don't think I would ever give up the reliability of a manual bottle jack for the convenience of not having to pump the handle a few times.
Just brilliant! Thank you, from Ireland. I have mechanised for 30 yrs+ and recently bought the E Help design as I got a 2 3/4 Ton SUV, when I had a flat tire I was glad had the electric jack it helped BUT what helps more is seeing your test and knowing there is a decent working margin, without having to destruction test my own tools. Just like many commentators I come to PF first when checking up. Thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I’m glad he did this test. I’m going with EHelp. I’m glad u had good luck 👍 with it🍷
I've never really thought electric jacks existed. Superb video as always.
Same here
Thank you!
as a mechanic i never seen them ... but that makes me not trust them instantly ...... if it was a good idea we would have mains powered ones in every commercial garage
My electric jack is the included scissor jack being operated by my DeWalt impact driver with a 3 amp battery.
Ditto.
I didn't think the 12 volt impact wrenches would actually do anything, let alone break loose 250 ft lb! Color me impressed, but I'll probably stick with manually operated jacks like the bottle. Great as always!
Thanks!
Torque test channel did a great video about the "Egg-Beater" style impacts! they work by spinning upto a higher speed before engaging the anvil, regular impacts have far more impacts.
yeah, those egg beater wrenches are beasts, many have even been known to break loose the infamous Honda crank bolt.
It's not a matter of voltage, as anyone who's used Milwaukee's M12 stubby impact wrench and right angle impact ratchet can attest to. It's all about what it does with the volts it uses.
@@kovie9162 volts mean nothing, its all about amps. Dewalts new impact is still 18v even though Dewalt have flexvolt which goes to 60 volts.
I have never-ever left a comment for anything like this before however, I must say that this is no non-sense, straightforward and very informative. I like this...thumbs up! I'm set to all! I'm currently in the market for a good floor jack. I came across this video at just the right time. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
The best review channel on YT! Quick, precise, methodical, scientific and data driven are how I would describe the excellent work of Todd and his family at Project Farm! No messing around, sales pitches or sponsorships here. I cannot say enough good things.
Thanks so much!
Those mixer impacts are actually pretty surprising
Thanks for the feedback.
@Project Farm if you've never seen the Honda crank bolt videos you should look them up! Some stupid strong guns can't take them off but those stupid amazon impacts can
The Torque test guys did a test on those cheap impacts and they hit harder than you would think. Probably won't last for squat, but for what they are intended for that should not be an issue
They do look like mixers lol!
I think the torque test channel or whatever they're called tested these and are surprisingly good for what they are. I mean, first impression when holding one isn't the best, feels like a toy guy made with the cheapest plastics known to man and you expect it to not even be able to mix your coffee, but the numbers don't lie, these little things are great.
I have a number of old Ford Bottle jacks that I use (Hand crank, screw type bottle jack). I cut one of the handles, and use it in my drill. They can lift a lot of weight, and the drill makes it effortless!
Excellent work as always, Todd! I love your real world tests! Makes sense to me, as that's how most folks would use them anyways.
Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless! o7
Thanks!
Same here. I 'attached' a 3/4" hex x 1" length of 'all-thread' nut to mine so I can use the same size socket as my lug-nuts.
@@RANDOMNATION907 That's a great idea! That way I wouldn't need the drill, just my impact gun! Thanks!
@@BruceLortzHI Yep. They're not hydraulic jacks. They are actually screw-jacks. Ford trucks, and JEEP's have them. Or, at least they use to. The FWD based SUV's unfortunately have scissor jacks, so instead I look for the solid axle rigs and model years. I grabbed a couple from my local bone yard for $25 bucks each.
@miscellaneousone After 2004, with the half ton Fords anyways, they come with scissor jacks now
Once again, you sir are an invaluable service to the TH-cam community. I find myself needing a good floor jack (previous video), and portable car jack with air compressor and you hit the "nail" on the head. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your great content and dedication to the facts.
You are welcome!
Crisp, to the point, fast, relevant, thoughtful. Thanks for creating
Was always skeptical about these, but this testing is starting to change my mind! 😎✌️
I've placed one of the survivors in one of my vehicles. Sure would make things a lot easier and safer if dealing with a flat tire on the roadside.
I still wouldn't use one without a jackstand. Or something equivalent, like a big chunk of timber.
I agree that I wouldn’t have expected such strong results for the jacks or impacts.
Thanks for the feedback.
Especially the impacts! Really impressive stuff!
These are great tools for folks with mobility problems. Thank you for the tests, great video once again!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Surprising results. Some did much better than I thought they would. Thanks for testing and posting! Thumbs up.
Thanks!
Well done! I discovered these electric jacks a few years ago, and these are a game changer on the side of the road. I was sold.
Appreciate you testing those egg-beater impacts. Need to be patient with them, but they will (eventually) get those lug nuts off.
The old bottle jack is still as strong as ever! Still a great design, even today 🦾
Have a great day, Todd! 🐺🔧
I am in the market for a jack and have been looking at the manual versions. What kind of supporting material do you use so that your jack doesn't sink in the dirt or grass?
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I was looking into getting a small bottle jack recently and stumbled onto these electric jacks and wondered how well the performed.
Thanks for the video, very timely and helpful.
My pleasure!
Master Farm: I have commented before, but I remain amazed at the amount of information you can convey in a short amount of time. Obviously you create a pr plan and move forward quickly. The smooth smiled delivery is very professional. You talk very fast and never bobble. At least that we see. There must be gaffs and much time spent in post production.
You know what would be fun? If you did a 10 minute Project Farm outages video.From that ornery smile I bet your ego would allow such a fun video.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Great you tested these! I got one similar to the orange ones last year and so far so good I'm impressed and it's much easier than any manual jack and reasonably light and compact. Better than I expected too and I even found an off label use for it lifting heavy car parts in an awkward spot
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
i have a tire rack brand aluminum jack and it does the exact same thing twists when you are trying to raise car. I left a review on their website, but they are so dishonest they won't put my review up only 5-star reviews. glad to have someone else revealing the problem with these aluminum jacks.
Great feedback on the jack!!
The best car jack reviews on youtube!! Thank you!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks and you are welcome!
I recently had to change a tire on our new car with a scissor jack and while it was not terrible, it seems to have some hotspots that make it tricky to use with no weight. That wasn't as bad but the tire compressor I had took some 10-15mins to fill the tire up to to 35psi, and was looking for an impact wrench/jack adapter for the jack AND a better compressor and was seeing some Milwaukee brand tools which I'm sure will be great but are really out of my budget. This video is a LIFESAVER. Frankly I'd buy the big red if my primary need wasn't the air compressor. I'll be buying one of these shortly. I have a collapsible breaker bar so the impact wrenches aren't a must for me, and it already performed great on overtightened nuts.
And also to Mr. Project Farm also thanks for the tire repair kit video. If anyone is already buying one of these jacks, spend a bit of extra money and buy one of those kits as well, even the basic tire repair kits can work wonders and make a puncture a non issue and with these lifts/inflators you can completely lift the car and repair the tire in some 30 mins.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
As always clear and concise! Subjectively, bottle jacks are my go to device. They are cheap, strong, small and don't require electric power. For that matter, a lug wrench, though a pain, never fails. It's also a pry bar. Both non sexy, but failproof. If stranded in a remote location, failproof is good. Thanks for all your effort!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Sometimes you might need a length of pipe for that lug wrench (it stores slipped over the 'handle'), but failproof is good!
Love your stuff brother! By far the most realistic, non‐biased, real world comparisons out there! Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Haven't watched the entire video yet, but when you got to the bottle jack I flinched. I've been driving since the mid sixties, worked on thousands and thousands of cars and owned several hundred.
I don't think I've ever pulled a bottle jack out of a car and not found it leaking oil. Mostly they don't work after they have been in there a year or two, plus they always leak all over the place. You are supposed to store them upright. Good luck with that.
On to your excellent video.
WoW! What a time to be living in! In the early 80's, my brother sent me to deliver an overweight order to someone outside the town. I lost two tires in that trip and had to do all the labor of changing the flat tires on site; of course no portable electric jacks and wrenches existed then. Lastly, the load slipped out of the truck bed! I had to reload everything on the side of the dirt road. My two sons now don't know how to drive a manual let alone bothering themselves with changing tires!
Thanks for the feedback.
I really appreciate your videos as they provide a very good insight into various products! I also am impressed with the methodology you put into the tests! Really cool stuff!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thank you for being honest, transparent, and, most importantly, thorough in all of the tests. A special thank you for never compromising your integrity by promoting paid brands. Keep up the great work at PF; we all appreciate it.
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm No no, all thanks goes to you.
Having had to change my SUV tire with the dinky furnished scissor jack and a standard socket tool and the flat tire on a lady friends car, with the stock car tools, At 73 years old, I quickly realized I was not the man of my memory! Ha ha. In fact the SUV flat tire was so heavy I could not lift it to put it in the SUV after all the work to take it off. So I bought and carry with me an electric jack similar in appearance to the red one in your video and it came with a similar looking electric nut remover, but no inflator…cost about $60. Great peace of mind, and now I have confidence I can get the job done in a reasonable length of time! I got mine off Amazon and its carry case also has the triangular reflective sign on it and the unit came with a built in flashlight for night work. Thanks, great video!
Thanks and you are welcome!
The best comparison video so far, thanks for your video
I always check your channel before I buy anything. I would love for you to do a show on solar landscape lights. There are so many out there would love to see your analysis. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the video idea!
Yet another excellent testing video that I had been waiting for from PF! Keep up the great work that you do for us consumers! 👍👍👏👏
Thanks, will do!
You have more good info than the others. Although I sometimes have to stop and rewind to absorb all the info because you talk so fast. But I found a solution. On settings I turn the speed down too .075x slower. Finally I can take in all the info without rewinding.
Keep up the great work. You are the best info on products tested on TH-cam. 😀
of course- Todd sounds stoned but- yes, you can get through without having to stop and rewind.
I have to watch every video even if I don’t or won’t need that tool. I just have to know which one is best! But when I do need a tool, your videos are my guide. And the channel of choice for a lot of mechanics I know in heavy equipment shops also!
You continue to create some of the very best online content, content that helps anyone who watches it!
Thanks!
I love you man! Always on point! Your channel is true gold!
Thank you very much!
Wow! That was like the encyclopedia of car jack! Very impressive SUBSCRIBED!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Too many people are content sitting stranded roadside waiting for AAA. With your advice and elbow grease, you can be your own hero. Thanks for what you do!
You are welcome!
AAA was going to take 2+ hours (pre-2020) and I just change the tire on my own to my spare. I get it was rush hour, but that’s what I pay them for coming in a reasonable time.
Thanks for the video as always!
A test on solo/one man brake bleeders would be neat and helpful!
Thanks for the suggestion.
I HIGHLY second this.
@@ProjectFarm seconded on vacuum brake bleed kits
@@ProjectFarm and the ones that push the fluid through with pressure
Wow...I never considered purchasing something like this but for ~$120, I would absolutely get a kit for my car or garage. Great work!!!
Thanks!
That exhaust jack is mind blowing every time someone brings it up.
Your videos are not only informative but very entertaining. Not very often that I laugh out loud, but I did on this one. Did anybody else laugh when the motor fell off or am I twisted?
That air bag exhaust lift looks like something out of a cartoon.
I researched Amazon comments on some of the 12V jacks. Some of the comments said that the jack would go up and not come down. That would put you into quite a predicament if you had a flat on the highway. You'd be better off using the crappy jack that comes with the car.
I bought a scissors jack and a socket adapter to raise the car in no time using a cordless impact. I greased the threads on the long bolt to make it more efficient. I wonder how much that would've improved your lift time and maximum weight.
Thanks for the feedback.
Always look forward to your videos sir. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
i’m glad you did these thanks they have caught my eye on Ebay for a while now for over 35 years i’ve done my share of towing many different trailers behind PickUp Trucks , the majority of them have been Boat trailers with Boats on them but i’ve also pulled Enclosed Car Trailers ,TravelTrailers ,and Tow Dollies with cars attached i’ve always carried a small HydrauliccBottle Jack with some 4X4 and 2X4 blocks that double up as WheelChocks that setup has helped me get out of many Jams from BlowOuts and destroyed WheelBearings on the road BTW i carry some basic Tools ,Grease , and some spare parts normally stored in a locked Trailer Utility Box attached to the Trailer and i always have A Spare Tire and a detailed Log for each vehicle that lists Parts numbers ,Service Dates , and miscellaneous information not only has those items saved my day but often i’ll stop and help someone else on the road as a Good Samaritan i also carry a diverse assortment of Towing. Accessories that allows me to pull almost any type of Hitch or Electrical Connection those little 12 volt tire inflators are handy to have i’ve kept a Walmart Special in my Truck for a long time as well and in my Camping Trailer i do carry a small 110volt Compressor with a few Air Tools for Campsite repairs
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Another great video Todd. Each week I can’t wait to see what you will test next. You don’t disappoint.
Thanks so much!
That was a GREAT test competition! Always wanted and electric jack. This helped my decision. AWWSOME job!!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
As usual, AWESOME!! Thank you!!!
Great test. Had me all jacked up.
lol. Nice!
Didn't know they made such a thing.
Pretty sure I need one!
Thanks Todd
You're welcome!
Excellent work as usual. I agree, i didn't think much of the capacity of these electric units because of the danger component. But you have shown that they are capable. I carry an air pump, a heavy duty dewalt impact wrench, and an oem scissor jack rated for a heavy SUV ( used on my car)... i use the impact to raise and lower the scissor, so it is a psuedo-electric, and also for removing the lugs... the SUV oem jack also has a higher lift and load... so i am well prepared for a tire change. I do suggest your audience consider your tested options.... great job... best youtube site .... keep up the incredible work it is your calling, and you should reap the rewards for your diligence..
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I didn't know I needed one of these, I had never even looked at an electric jack before! Lol. Thank you once again for everything you do, it is greatly appreciated!
You're welcome!
Timely topic! I've been considering lift alternatives for use on full size pickups - both on and off road.
#1) Hydraulic floor jacks are an old standard. But 3 ton capacity units such as Harbor Freight's (HF) 'Daytona Super Duty' weigh over 110 pounds. That's an awkward amount to wrestle. Also, floor jacks often bend if the surface isn't both hard and flat (e.g. uneven, off camber dirt surface). Also, seal failures are a risk that can abruptly 'pop up', rendering them useless.
#2) Scissor jacks are much lighter, simpler (no risk of a fluid seal failure). The E-help looks quite promising (may get one). Ideally, I'd like to find one rated for 3+ tons that also has a more robust frame than E-Help's, one that is less prone to bend on either irregular surfaces or if jack alignment is not optimally maintained.
(Note: HF 2 ton units have terrible, gall prone bushings in the Acme screw mechanism, compromising rated load capability. Even greasing them before first use does not resolve the issue)
#3) The double ram bottle jack is a third candidate. However, the concern again is unpredictable seal failures, especially if it's stored in a hot, sun soaked vehicle, potentially for years before a need arises.
#4) In terms of lifting capacity, by my metrics, all the electro hydraulic lifts FAILED. None reached 6000 lbs, let alone had any safety margin above that. AND, they have fluids, with potential risk of seal failures.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ProjectFarm I placed an order for the electric scissors jack. The product's shape, even its base, is identical to the one you tested. However, the brand is listed as 'Reliancer' instead of 'E-Heelp'. Both a 3 and 5 ton model are offered. The 3 ton's material is listed as alloy steel, while the 5 ton's material is (surprisingly) listed as aluminum (might be a spec. error). I ordered the 5 ton, hopefully for the extra margin it offers. It also claims an inch higher lift while maintaining the same minimum height as the 3 ton. This unit costs $100 and is is not kitted with an impact wrench, sockets, or a carry case.
@@gregparrottAny chance you can update with your first impressions when it arrives? I'm also looking for a bottle jack alternative for my truck.
@@sonictech1000 Yes, I will do that. My first expectation is that the heavier rated unit I ordered will NOT be made of aluminum (as was advertised). If it were , its photo should have revealed it to have different proportions than those on the model tested here (but it did not). One specific testI will be its ability to resist bending , as a lot of scissor jacks are a bit spindly. My baseline is to lift the front suspension on one side of a Ford one ton (single rear wheel), 4 whl drive, Diesel. These trucks weigh 8000 pounds, with probably close to 60% of the weight on the front.
@@gregparrott Thanks. Mine is a 3/4 ton Dodge diesel so similar weight.
I love how the impact guns all look like alien ray guns from an old sci-fi movie 😂. I keep a cheap Harbor Freight floor jack in the car and it's never let me down, but one of the all in one electric kits might be a good idea for the wife's car... Great testing as always!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
3:47 paint this one silver and you get the alien blaster from the fallout series. Definate plus point 😄
Thank you! I've been considering one for a while and like the E-Help.
Thanks for sharing!
Another awesome video. Thanks for doing these tests.
Thanks and you are welcome!
HEY! I did not know these were a thing ! Looking forward to this! Thumbs UP!!
Thank you!
Very impressive 🤙🏽
Thank you and hope you enjoy the video!
This comparison was soooooooo directed at me!!! I have an electric jack for a few years and its basically the same as the ABN, TYAYT and Standtall. The impact wrench for mine broke after a few uses when the hammer mechanism snapped. I wonder if these will too, especially the harder hitting ones. The air pressure gauge on mine was so badly off that at 20 PSI it still read 0.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again for the best and most entertaining testing of products. I see me getting at least one of these electric jack/tire inflator/impact wrenches kits for my vehicle.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Great testing as always! I wanted to get your opinion, maybe this would be a second part to assess the effectiveness of those mixer impacts. What I was wondering was, did you experience any high temps on the impacts tested in this video? How do think they'd perform if you actually had to change a tire (remove all of the lugnuts, and then reattach them). For some reason I keep thinking of how some inflators have a continuous run time limit that shuts the motor down to prevent over heating.
Hey Todd! Excellent as always.
I’d love to see a portable battery pack throw down! Something like Anker, vs Milwaukee adapters vs Jackery vs a marine battery with an inverter.
Thanks as always, Todd!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Good review, as always. I found a scissor jack with 3/4” hex head alongside a road and I lift/ lower it with an impact driver. Darned useful all around our little “gentleman’s farm”. Supplements a 3-ton floor jack, 8-ton bottle jack, and a farm jack.
Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love your unbiased testing. We need more of them in the world.
I would love too see some fabric testing. Work pants, heavy duty socks, fr vs non fr. To name a few.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
T
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions.
Excellent episode as always 👌
Thank you!
As a woman I thank you kindly for this review. I want to become more self sufficient and learn to do things for myself when it comes to my vehicle. After getting taken advantage of in car shops and being overcharged, I want to learn to do some things myself! This review was well performed and very detailed! Awesome job.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm You’re welcome
YES!!! My request finally happened... thanks for all you do.
You are welcome! Thanks for suggesting this video idea.
Thank you for the effort you put into your videos. You are providing a great service. Have you considered doing a comparison of the different brands of bottle jacks?
You are welcome!

*Very useful and cool video as usual.*
I can't believe we're just *finally* seeing home car lifts that use a massive pair of motorized scissor jacks because I thought of that 20 years ago!
I could never understand how nobody thought of it decades ago because by now, the things would be a few hundred dollars and we could all afford one.
I have worked on cars since I was 15 years old which is 30 years.
*What I would have given and would still give for a car lift.*
Thanks!
Very cool video. The only thing I'd be curious about that I didn't see here is how each impact tightens the lugs back on (ie how fast, how tight, how consistent). Can't wait for the next one man!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I think these types only work counter clockwise, I have used one couple of years ago.
You can buy some that spin clockwise and counterclockwise but they are not meant for tightening. It's meant for left hand thread vs right hand thread.
These little guns release a lot of torque and can snap a stud.
I've always loved your content, and glad you keep your testing so standard across all platforms! I've always wanted to see your view on nice coolers though! Keep it up
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love your videos. I rarely but things that I think you may have reviewed without searching through your videos. Thank you.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm You're the best. You should have 10M followers. Selfless, accurate reviews. You're the best. Because of you, I always change my oil and add 2 ounces of MotorKote per quart of oil. Love the stuff. I've bought many other items that I was in the market for after watching your videos to help me choose.
I can't thank you enough.
Love cousin Eddie puttin the work to buy that truck
Rv whatever you want to call it
Thank you very much!
Excellent testing as always, and surprising results from the electric bottle jacks! The biggest surprise was those impact wrenches, would never have expected them to perform so well!
Unrelated, have you considered doing a test on various cordless (or corded!) jigsaws?
Thank you for the video idea!
I’m only posting this here because I couldn’t find a place to post on a test you did in 2019 on diesel fuel supplements. As a person who has owned and driven diesel vehicles all my life starting at 1972 when I purchased my first Mercedes-Benz 220 diesel for $8000 new. Back then it was a new experience in the severe cold weather at Montreal, Canada and Burlington Vermont. I soon learned the only way to keep it going at 25 below zero with a 40 miles an hour wind chill was to use half diesel with the kerosene being added first because that is lighter than the diesel or else it will stay on top and you could still freeze up your fuel lines. This always worked fine for me and still does. I think you should do a retest this time if possible use a 40 gallon fuel tank @ 25 below zero temperature and a fan blowing on the plastic 40 gallon fuel tank to simulate a 50 mph wind blowing on it and see what type of results you get using the exact measurement that the container says to add to the fuel. I tried additives years back they never seem to work for me in those extreme conditions, but 50-50, kerosene diesel diesel fuel did. My 1986 Ford diesel probably had the best set up with duel, 20 gallon fuel tanks that you could control by a switch on the dash I kept straight kerosene in 1 and diesel in the other. When temperatures got extreme at night I could just throw the switch and keep on driving a real lifesaver in those conditions at that time before the cell phones GPS and all the other goodies people have today.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Todd , best channel on youtube. Thanks for all the effort making great non biased reviews
Thanks and you are welcome!
Holy perfect timing. I just broke a stabilizer jack on my 5th wheel. This might work as a temporary fix.
Several great options for the 5th wheel. Thank you
Subscribed for the clear info, scientific, unbiased testing, and real-world purchase-decision help you provide. Thank you, sir. And good luck continuing to try to pronounce all the weird names of the endless Chinese-made stuff. You do a fine job soldiering through that as most would. :)
Thanks! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
The content you present is excellently elaborate. Thank you for the quality and distinctive charisma. I really admire your serious style as the style of the professor and teacher for his students.
Thanks!
Excellent information......all good to know! Thanks much for your superb content!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I never knew such things existed. Great tests as always. Thanks for making this video!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I am surprised at how well these things did. They look so gimmicky, I didn't think any of them would work! I might actually pick on up, probably the ehelp, since it's not hydraulic.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I've watched many of the reviews you've done on tools, and everyone of them have been great. Thanks for doing them.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thanks man appreciated your work long time
Thanks and you are welcome!
I carry 3 separate tools, a 2 ton jack similar to the one you tested, a dewalt 60v portable compressor and hose, and a dewalt impact gun.
these tools take up a large amount of cargo space in my pick up. I would definitely consider one of these all in one kits. preferably the abn
Thanks for the feedback.
I’m betting that vendor exhaust jack would do really well with a Tesla 😂🤣😂
Thanks for the feedback.
Just love the exposure when the most $$$ is the worst of the group; how can you not love that transparency! This channel is golden and TYVM.
Thanks and you are welcome!
All video are great. Lot of information
Thanks so much!
I was impressed with the bottle jack. I have never thought of carrying one but I really like the small size. Really glad you included it in the test. I only wonder if you might need to carry something for softer ground.
A 12x18inch scrap osb board that just rides in your trunk helps for soft ground or a spinning tire in snow and can usually be found for free in a construction dumpster if the building being built is still in framing and sheathing stage
Thanks for the feedback.
Oh you WOOD need to carry something for soft ground for sure.
@@yetinother 3/4" PLYWOOD, not OSB. The jack will crush right through OSB on soft ground.
Did you get a feeling how these things would perform in bad weather? Would the electric components survive rain or slushy snow by the roadside?
Was glad to see at least one had a light for nighttime roadside ops.
Great testing, as usual!
That's what I'm wondering. I want to get an electric jack for fast and easy offroad self recovery that can work with low clearance if I'm buried, like a scissor jack, but I'm not sure how well the components would hold up in snow or mud.
@@kylenavarro9232 I wouldn't trust any of these Chinese electric jacks that are probably made with sketchy materials. Just use a manual jack and never worry again (as long as you maintain it)
If they're 12-18 volts, you can run them underwater. you can see demonstrations of this in videos.
An old mechanic told me this, and I didn't believe him. "How do you think a fuel pump functions fully submerged?" Oh... Right.
After that, I ran my garage lights on 12v to keep it from needing a mains hookup, and would shock onlookers by dipping my wiring and light switch in a bucket of water, effecting the lights not at all.
I mean shock as in surprise. Nobody was shocked.
Bottle Jack seems most economical. And the compact size is a nice feature. Thank you for making this video!
You are welcome Thanks for the feedback.
Wow. This video really made an impact! I'm getting jacked up!
Love the content I recently bought a m18-2850 impact driver non fuel it's actually stronger than the fuel it took off a 200 ft lbs axle nut the fuel would t take off my lug nuts lol would love to see u review it with a xc5 battery vs a Cp 2.0 that comes with it thx
Great impact driver and thanks for the video idea!
@@ProjectFarm anytime I look forward to your videos stay safe
I am surprised how well those work!
I thought I was clever when I needed to drive a hook screw, I put an eye bolt in my cordless screwdriver, but everyone said "Noooo! You will ruin everything!"
The Brothers Make do that!
Everyone said that the threads would damage the chuck.
Is there an easy way to grind off the threads?
I want to know how quickly a battery-powered impact wrench could extend a scissor jack! :)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Another awesome video, thanks for your rigorous testing and data.
Thanks and you are welcome!
THANK YOU! I was one of the viewers who suggested this topic. It’s amazing to know a you not only listened but went on to do a video about it.
Seriously with all my heart. Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for suggesting this video idea.
