I currently have a big floor jack from Harbor Freight too. I decided to get this one because it's small and easy to transport and the price was only about 34 dollar. Thanks for watching.
For tire change I usually just lift until the tire is about two inches off the floor. Unless you are changing to bigger wheel, then you probably want to lift higher up. Let me know if you want to see a tire changing video I might do it.
These effin suck!! Don't use these unless you want to break a control arm because there is no in between when lowering these jacks. They WILL NOT let down slowly. Sometime you get lucky but 99% of the time they will NOT let down slowly.
It should lower slowly. You just got to very slowly turn the release valve for it to lower slowly. If it doesn't lower slowly, then something is probably wrong.
@WelkingVue yeah it doesn't lower slowly not 1 bit. Not at all. Doesn't matter how very slightly I open it 😒 almost brok my control arm off my truck. Thank god it's a rav4. Meant to take a beating.... I checked everything tho and it seems to be ok. No leaks. The fluid is exact. I guess it would be the seals releasing more air then meant to?
@@nikkilovetheyardsale-again2608 Why don't you try lowering it with no weigh on the saddle or have someone push down on the saddle with one foot. This test won't help, but it'll give you more insight on what's going on. When I lower, I usually use two hands, so I have more control, then I slowly turn counterclockwise. Usually I'll turn a little then stop, turn a little then stop. There could be multiple possibilities why your jack is lowering too fast. If repair is required, I would just exchange or get a refund.
@WelkingVue yeah I have I had my son put a brick on it and as far as I can tell it fine idk. I'm going to perfect and refill it and see if maybe that's the problem. Thank for your time btw most people never even reply. So ty.
My main floor jack was one on sale at Harbor Freight. Its BIG and heavy but has been working great for my needs. As always great video!

Thanks a lot for the video now I can use the Jack
Thank You!
Great video! Is there a certain height I should lift the tire? And any vids on actually changing tires you could do? Thanks!

@@WelkingVueyes please I’d love to!
I'll try to post up a video in a few days.
My jack looks like a clone of this one, yet I cant jack up my Camry 2.2 to its max height?!
Check the oil level.
