Nice, Yvan. I've had that exact same jack for almost a year and it's worked well. I did, once, have it jam in the up position...but it was easy to disassemble and service. The machining on the internal tapered sleeves is a bit rough and it got locked together, but after a bit of polishing and greasing it's worked flawlessly since.
Nice review. The problem we had was when we had a blowout on the tag axle, the highest jack point we could use was like 6" off the ground when it was sitting on the rim. The roadside tech had to use 3 different air jacks to get the axle high enough to get a tire back onto it. Our 20 ton low profile HF bottle jack stood no chance.
It's only a drag axle, most jacks should lift it, 3 or 4 ton jack. I use vevor 5 ton on a class c Sprinter MH, lifts the whole rear no problem. Love it.
What a great review. I just ordered one of these things and had to get an air compressor too because i've never owned one. When you shook the car it still made me uneasy lol even though a regular jack would move just as much if not even topple. I'll use jackstands anyway with this. I got a quiet aircompressor with an 8 gal tank It is 1 hp... would this be sufficient to run this thing? It also has a max psi of 120.
I have a couple of questions for you, if that's ok. First and most important, now that it's over 7 months from your video, how has this air bag jack held up? Is it still working? Do you use it a lot? Secondly, I've noticed in your video and other videos as well that the instructions state, "Skirt of the car" for lifting. I"m not sure what that even means. When I first heard it, I thought it meant that you can't use this to lift via the front of rear center frame jack points. Yet, in your vid and others, people do life by the center jack points, like you did with that truck near the end. And the RV even. So do you know what they mean by the "skirt"? I take that as the trim and panels, which would make that statement in the instructions a bad thing. What is your opinion on that? I ordered the 3 ton version of this, with the solid handle (not the adjustable handle). I hope that it comes quickly so that I can change out the winter tires, lifting at the rear center then front center. LOL
@@LacroixCruiser Well, it's all moot now! LOL I received the Jack. I was able to lift the rear by a center lift point. But for the front, videos show a lift point, dead center, just under the motor. But I couldn't see that same thing. There is an area that I SUSPECT might be ok to lift, but as I'm not a mechanic, I'm not sure. But it worked out anyway, because the frame goes around in sort of an arch, ending on each side, in the front, with a "chain loop" for towing. So I just lifted one side at a time putting the jack under the loop. No issues. I'm loving this jack. There is one thing that crossed my mind today, however. And that is, if there's a suggested way to store this to keep the rubber bellows from rotting. We all know that rubber can deteriorate in the environment. So I don't know if there is some sort of stuff to rub onto the rubber, or if I should just put the jack into a plastic back and evacuate the air from the bag. That should keep it safe... I think. LOL

Good to know

True
FYI: If you want to deflate the jack faster, disconnect the air hose and open both vales.
Thank you.
I do the same
Those are good tests !!!! - Thanks !!!!
Glad you like them!

The best video on this
Thank you.
I have one still in the box had it for months
Try it

Yes
I should hope so!
The whole bus no, but the axles yes.

So far so good, I think they mean rocker panels

I wouldn’t be overly concerned, just keep it out of the sun
Will it lift the drive axle on coach?
Didn’t try
Che tipo di compressore occorre usare? Non certo uno da hobbistica!
It doesn’t take much
Great review
Thank you.
It lifted the axle up and let the tire spen, but there's no way in hell that is going to lift that bus at 44,000 lbs.
I'm thinking about getting one
Exactly 1 axle only
tnx for mentioning us the keyboard warrior.
Thank you.
