I've got one of these jacks too, I love it. And, just out of curiosity, I hooked it up to a small 12v compressor, the sort of thing you'd keep in the truck of your car, and it lifted my car no problem, it was quite slow however about one minute to get to full height compared to 4 or 5 seconds with my shop compressor. So your 3 gallon compressor should do just fine.
5:58 Some people have said that the inner metal sleeves need lubrication to reduce the jerkiness of the up/down movement when loaded. Something like what this guy did. It's not the brand you have but a similar concept. th-cam.com/video/qSAVUaRNKpo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YVby-2lTZErHribc
That's what I thought. They are really a distributor of stuff. Not sure who makes it, but it does work really well. I may get some other products in the future to try out. (Maybe a slushy machine? lol)
Thanks for your review and Merry Christmas

Thanks! I checked out some of your videos, you got some great stuff going on there.
Pretty cool. I thought they would cost a lot more but they are very reasonably priced.
They are! Definitely worth it.
You can just put an extension hose with a valve on the end to keep you out from under the car.
You can, but since they make the ones with long arms, I would just get one of those.
do you think this will work with a 3 gallon small air compressor? not sure how much air it needs or what psi those bags inflate at

I understand that, if they are just a little off, it will take them a bit to centralize and go down. The load really needs to go straight up and down.
Is there any way I can put a harbor freight cross beam on it?
Not sure what that is, but if you are careful anything is possible.
Do you have to attach it to a compressor to add air
Yes, this unit requires a compressor. I have made videos of a powered unit that does not require one.
About how much does it weigh?
Net Weight: 34.4 lbs
Thank you.
Is this the 3 ton or 5 ton model?
6600 pounds are 3ton. 11000 or 10thou pounds are 5 ton, if i recall well
Yes, 3 ton.

I need to understand more. A company I never heard of makes both slushy machines and automotive jacks. Consider me cautious.
