I did road side assistance and I used a crappy jack like the one you hate.
Two 6x6x6 blocks of wood. Adjustable 1/2 inch ratchet from harbor freight with sockets. A 1/4 impact dewalt with the 1/2 inch adapter.
I used the impact to turn the jack. I could change any tire on any vehicle in less than 5 minutes and it all fit in a dewalt tool bag.
I carry same setup in my daily without the wood blocks and I’ve switched to Milwaukee.
Two 6x6x6 don't fit in your tool bag though.
@@JirafaBo side by side in my bag and jack and tools stacked beside them. I think they were 4” tall though.
Now I have a 10” 4x4 block in my van. No roadside though that’s just what I carry.
That is a very nice jack, however I wonder are you gonna have the clearance to get under the frame, if you actually had a flat tire. Can you give it a test on TH-cam. Thank you very much
exactly, I need a jack under 7 inches for this very reason.
Recently bought a Powerbuilt 6000 Lb UniJack from Pep Boys. Returned it the first day, hydraulic fluid in the bottom of the box (New jack). When pumped up, the jack leaked fluid and air at the seal below the large nut holding in the ram. These seem to be hit and miss as far a functionality and dependability goes.
On my 2005 f150 with 17 inch tires I need my jack to be under 7 inches to fit under the axle when I have a flat..like I did today. The scissor jack bent about 30 degrees when the blacktop started swallowing my jack and fell off..this made things fun. I would have sang the peanut butter song if I had only know it..but I do now haha.
That jack will ONLY work for trucks - won't fit under my full-frame 2005 Explorer. Wore me out the other day cause I had to jack the high portion behind the back wheels and I could not raise it high enough to get the tire off without exceeding the jack's reach. Picture that! Even with a 2x4 base and a perfect start - it didn't have enough extension to clear the tire without relying on the bottle jack alone. So - definitely need a high-range floor jack like the LiftMaster 3 Ton SUV High Lift Floor Trolley. I'm looking for alternatives to jackstands as well for more height.
I have the triple lift jack by the same company. it's made to lift autos, ATV's and motorcycles. I have used it around 110 to 130 times.
Can you show how to add hydraulic fluid to it… pretty sure mine is really low! Thanks
Nice tool. My first time seeing that.
Great video and thanks for the demonstration. I was looking at this product last night and wasn't so sure whether to get it or not as I have a lifted truck, but this will definitely work since my roller floor jack only goes up to 18" and it works well then I lift at the axle or the control arm. Will definitely be getting this jack
I have this one, never used it had un the bed of the truck all the fluid leaked out... It was under warranty and the manufacture recommended not keeping in the truck. They said I can refill it from the side. They said it is not sealed.
Nice. It’s going in my 4Runner.
Damn I got excited about this product especially when you said it only cost about 30 bucks, then I went to the link and seen it was double the $$$$
The price has gone up on these over the years. They do go on sale periodically. I don’t think I’d pay double though.
Dude thanks so much for the awesome video I know what jack I'm getting !!
How's it holding up after a few years?
A lot of reviews on Amazon complain of the hydraulic cylinder leaking and Jack malfunctioning only a a few uses.
Had one for years and love it.
I paid over $60 for mine. At least its not twice that. Thanks for the vid.
Will it tit under the truck if you have a flat tire?
I keep looking at these jacks, guess I'll have to order one, seems like it would work great for my built S10.
That is a sweet jack.👍
ha! what's up! I found this video while searching best portable jack options. Is this still being used by you?
Hey! Yep. Still have it and still use it. It’s currently living in our van 🚐.
;)
The scissor lift jacks serve a purpose. They can be very low profile, so they will fit under a car that does not have much ground clearance. This is especially useful when you are changing the tire on a car that is not only low, but only has a single jack point front and rear of each side. Scissor lift jacks like that are also a lot lighter than the hydraulic jacks while still being strong enough to lift the vehicles in question. And, of course, they are cheaper to make, so that is an advantage as far as the car manufacturers are concerned. There's no one jack that works for everything. Keep a bottle jack for my pickup, but I also keep some small pieces of 2x4s handy for cribbing. Depending upon where you are when you have a flat, you might have to improvise a bit. At home though, I'll just use my floor jack on my pickup, but my wife's BMW is too low to the ground for that, so I have to either use the scissor jack or make up a sort of mini stepped "ramp" from some 2x8 pieces so that I can get the tire up a few inches more so that the floor jack can get to the designated jacking point. Improvise and overcome... :)
I'd carry both jacks if possible. I really like the jack stand/ jack combo. But I hadn't considered the blow out situation where there's minimal clearance to jack up the vehicle
+Mr Ranger
In a blowout situation, you could also carry some wood blocks with you and drive up on them to get to the height that you would have normally been at with an aired up tire.
I would like to think that the car manufacturers think this through well enough that they provide a jack with the car that can go low enough that it will still work even when the car is sitting on it's rims, but considering some of the braindead design decisions that I've seen over the years, I wouldn't necessarily bet on it. :)
Outstanding observation
And let's not forget, those scissor jacks are pretty dependable as long as you don't physically damage them. If they are just sitting in your truck for years and years, as long as you don't get your car flooded and they end up rusting, they will be as good 20 years down the road as they were brand new. A hydraulic jack on the other hand has a bit more than can go wrong with it, so you might actually want to check it periodically. If one of the O-rings gets old and doesn't hold pressure anymore, the jack will either not work or it will slowly settle on you. It might also lead hydraulic fluid. Also, some of the hydraulic jacks do not work well in a horizontal orientation, so that might be a concern for certain alternative uses for the jack. I might prefer to use a hydraulic jack, but considering how light and compact the scissor jacks are, I will still carry one of them as a backup, just in case.
If anybody reads the amazon reviews on the jack this video recommends, they'll see many 1 star reviews because of leaking oil. maybe after servicing, the jack will hold up, but I'd rather not have the leaked oil in my trunk to deal with.
I had a scissor jack damaged from un-safely jacking up an suv ... the suv tires were not secured and the vehicle dropped. That drop twisted the jack, and it is no longer useable. I am searching for a replacement aside from a smaller one from a different old car.
With all honesty was it worth the money? and is it still useful till this day? It’s still working?
Yep. Worth it and I recently used it to replace the rotors and brakes on my wife’s 2008 Trailblazer. I keep in our Ram Promaster 2500 van. 👍
Wish I found this video sooner. That jack is $110 now.
Dang! Not worth it at 110.00
Now the price is $65 with prime shipping. But I would order this. I've just returned crap walmart 2 ton jack today which was leaking like hell.
Thanks for this video, I have the same problem I just order the jack you have
Informative and short , great video
Thanks might buy this one. Had a blow out last night and it really sucked n
Driving a Dodge. Yep CheapGeek is the right name. Just having fun people, pull your panties out and lighten up.
Like the jack. Good Video.
Scissor jacks do serve a purpose but they are probably the most DANGEROUS of all!
I had a cheapy one that I used to change a tire on a Nissan Frontier! I got it good and jacked up and just as I was getting the tire off it failed and sent fluid and sharp metal clear across the street! Missed my leg by mere inches! Fucked the wheel assembly all to hell!
You were lucky 🍀!
Wow lucky for real. I just had the pleasure of having a flat with my sedan, used the POS jack that came with it... So I bought a Walmart 2 ton jack for $22 to carry in the trunk. Will take me 2 mins now to fix a flat if needed.
Fluid from what?? Frontier's come with scissor jacks, that don't use any fluid. Please expain?
looks like a good jack and would work well with your van, but my old Suzuki sierra has 2" body lift and 2" leaf springs in it so total of 4" over stock height it would never get the car high enough unfortunately.
fujitsubo how would it not work? You lifted just the body. The chasis should still be in the same position unless you have monster truck tires.
Ya just put some wood under it.
That's why they have blocks of wood
Thank you man! THIS is what I need.
Looks pretty good! Might have to get one myself. That wide base is really nice as well!
+JeepinDan I say go for it. I'm going to get another one. :)
I was just thinking about getting this off Amazon. Great video!
This product looks great, thanks for the great recommendation.
Don't know how it came out the box all ready bled and ready to go
Got 2 of them a big 1 and a smaller 1 I got mine a tractor supply and I had to bleed it
There ok not to nock the facts though they are ment for trucks
I got the big 1for a ram 1500 at the time worked great got a Dakota not so good
Got the smaller version of the same jack now the truck is to low for it to fit
The story is the thing is a great idea all in 1box will not work on all vihicals do to hight restrictions
And that's to bad for all other things still a good tool
I still own the Jack's wonder if there is a smaller one still To double it up that's an idea if the bottle Jack has a screw up type ajustment and the jack stand has the stuff it comes with to get up under lower trucks will be a nicer selling point
Just saying but not bad since I got 2of them
Thanks for the heads up
Ok, you barely fit the jack under the van with full tires, so love to see if it fits with a flat?
I like that jack. I hate peanut butter.
While this seems to be a Very Useful lifting option, it is BULKY !!! If someone has Space Limitations, on a relatively light GVW (truck), what is a better option ?
The OE bottle jack doesn’t have the lift range to accommodate my 3” lift, and those gigantic “farm” lifts (bumper jacks ?) aren’t a consideration.
Seems like R.V. Scissor jack is only option for roadside flats. Again, Limited Space :~(
Now $55 on Amazon !!! $39.91 @ Runnings website.
thats ingenious! I think I need several!
Doc Ink I'm going to get another one 😎
why several .. does your car have 5 wheels ?
I like the jack but it's definitely not $30! The link is $69.99!! But I still may get one. Thanks for the video.
Have you tried using it with a front flat tire? It your wheel is similar to mine, you will find it didn't fit under the frame.
This is on a super sale. These jacks go for @least $90.
great video, thank you!
Thanks for the video!
What if the tire is flat or maybe even the wheel fell off :O, will this fit under the frame?
James Mottley Depends on the vehicle and how much ground clearance you have. Probably need a floor jack if the wheel is off..
@@CheapGeek It just seems most if not all instructive vidos, etc. Involve a fully operational vehicle under pristine conditions, which doesn't reflect the situation others would likely face in less than optimum circumstances.
Mine stopped working after a few uses.
wouldn't be best for me but works for you
I think might get me one them jacks I got issues can do what use do anymore changibg a tire can b challenge for me now used b goid quick for female any way
Used to using bumper jacks before they came out with funky screw jack I jus don't like them
And with cheaper made cars tbey dont really put frames on them
I got a 92 jeep Cherokee recently jus wander about the frame on it how much one it gots and best place use the jack at on it
Nice!
It appeared that if a tire was flat, the jack would not fit under the vehicle. Is this not the case?
Great vid...thank you.
MrPortsider Thanks for watching! I appreciate it :)
Would this lift a truck with 35" tires?
Hay nice video, but I can't find it no where
I like peanut butter I like peanut butter
These are cool and work great, but it's hell for portability. Try fitting that thing in any reasonable spot in your backseat in a truck... Not happening. In the bed maybe, but then you have other issues.
Good review.....do you think four of the 3 ton for a F250 would be fine as opposed to the 6 ton? Meaning to get the whole truck off the ground for tire rotation etc?
Frets Nirvana I think 4 individual 3 tons? Yes. I have no doubt. :)
Great ..thanks for the quick reply. How high have you lifted as well ...are you comfortable fully extended?
Frets Nirvana I lifted the van fully. I lifted the van with the jack as far as the jack would go. I normally only lift as far as I need. I’m comfortable with the jack. I also overdo safety too. The jack is one thing I’ve bought recently that I glad I did :)
Excellent ...that is very helpful ...thanks!
You’re Welcome. Thanks for watching;)
how does your super jack stand do with the tire compromised, low clearance issues? Maybe you should keep the original in the truck just in case.
Even with a flat, the jack still fits. Our 3500 Dodge Ram Van has decent ground clearance.
The original jack is still in the van.
Since we travel in the desert, I have spares for most things.
I have 2 jacks and 2 spare tires. Just in case. :)
Rj VanDermark on a truck you have a ton of room even if sitting on the rim
Yeah, with a pickup, the issue is not whether you have enough space to put the jack under the truck, but rather whether the jack that you are using has enough extension on it to even get the wheel off the ground.
Cool any leaking?
+MDHenry4 Nope, :)
CheapGeek Thanks Sir
Good video, probably wouldn’t work to change a flat tire though, looks to be too tall.
hey.. i know you .. i met you at the gas station and i gave you two dollars to buy yourself a slurpee... please say thank you NOW . ok .. it was nice helping you out to a slurpee .
Nope. Absolutely was not me. Whoever you helped appreciated it. Slurpees are delicious.
@@CheapGeek yes Brother it was you , i remembered you and you told me that you are a youtuber .. comon brother ... ok i accept your thanks , i will buy you slurpees anytime at the 711 stores ..
james bailey haha! Nope.
I need too replace my ball joints on my f-250 diesel . what jack can I use ?
+Jeffrey Kumjian the one in the video :)
how much and ware too get it ?
Jeffrey Kumjian I got mine from Amazon. There's a link in the description. :)
Got it . Thank you.
It lookz like it wont work if ur on a flat..frame will b 2 LOW!!
I only use roll jacks
Yea, roll jacks are ex. I got 3 of em! But for my truck, dont work. You cant raise the arm up n down. Gotta use bottle like this one.
Except I got HF air btl jack. Think it's like 20 ton maybe.
Unless there's some type of extended arm or something like that, on a roller, they don't work when rolled that far under big pick up.
The base/jack has to go under the truck to the axles, or differential, by time it gets that far under truck, that arm ain't goin up n down. Or maybe 50 tiny up/downs w the arm might do it, but f that.
And if it did somehow get it up, how's it going to let it back down w the arm all horizontal only? Once under truck It wont go all way vertical so to let jack down.
Anyway, you or someone might know of a type of roller w extended arm? 3 ton+? One the the thing can actually be pumped up normally, not bunches of tiny pumps because jack is so far under?
Won't work with a flat tire
Tony Montana Depends in Vehicle height..
$30 on amazon?. i see $90 v nice jack though..
$ 55
I have two!!!! ;-) Mike in LA, Calif
👍👍👍👍👍👍👌

Scissor jacks are soooo dangerous and unstable tbh
every type of road side jack is pretty awful tbh. This one seems pretty great. The worst ive ever used was one that used built in jack points on a 1980s Mercedes. It fell several times while I was working on it. Ive had bad experiences with them all. but that was pretty freaking bad. A stiff breeze would knock that car off that jack.
The reviews on Amazon are really bad.
Ron West 4.2 stars out of 5 with 712 reviews. That’s not really bad. I have two of them. I’ve been satisfied with mine.
I was just looking at it and most of the review page said it leaked and didn't work. it did seem like a good idea.
Ron West I just looked. I sorted by most recent reviews. I seen 2 out of over a hundred that said it leaked. I think some of the reviewers don’t understand how a hydraulic bottle jack works. Mine work great and don’t leak. If you remove the pressure relief screw it’ll leak, as all hydraulic jacks do. You also have to lift up on the locking lever or the jack won’t lower. It’s part of the safety features. Not sure what to tell you. I’m good with mine.
Ahh YeA made in China I'll trust that
This jack is really cool.
Glad I have it.
It completely makes sense.
Here's some info- amzn.to/2mSr598
Your commentary is moot on this one. Too tall for a flat tire. A log and a fulcrum will left a car. Nice try.
Actually, the jack works fine on my VAN and my TRUCK. You stick with your log, I'll continue using this awesome bottle jack floor jack combo. Here's a link so you can read more information about it - amzn.to/2mSr598
Thanks for commenting!
What a hilariously retarded comment. "crap, i got a flat, better go find a log and rock to drag to my car. Still somehow beats carrying a 3lb jack in my vehicle"
I'm actually standing here in walmart at the jacks holding back laughter imagining someone walking down a highway on a rainy night looking for a tree to fell just cuz they were too cheap to get a proper jack.
Is lefting a car the opposite of righting a car?
what kind of spastic uses a log as a jack for a car, are you Fred Flintstone or something ?
The question is: Will it fit under a pick up with a flat? We know that it does as long as all of the tires are inflated.
If it doesn’t, it’s useless in a roadside emergency!
