Not only did they get advertising but an experienced engineer to Research and Develop the hell out of their product lol. Hopefully they make that change on the air line routing

Excellent review, Doug. "There has to be a better way" shows up in almost every video. Keep up the good work.

Good review Doug! Love how you always have a better way! And you fix it! 👍

Great review. Thanks for taking the time to do this review.

These jacks would be a perfect solution for my limited space. Love the mods you did to eliminate the hose pinch. Not sure why they used the air fittings they did, but easy to overcome with the universal female quick coupler. I think I need one of these for Christmas!

Great review, fabulous mods, & awesome explanation of why the mechanism needs the radial flex.

Really great video, covered all the important points, makes me confident I can get this to work.

*This is the first deep review i have found on these. I think you did a great job modifying them and i totally agree with your input on the wobble. Ill be unboxing mine soon. I got 2 vehicles due for service* Dexterous X

Very good tutorial for those that are thinking of buying these. And a great looking Element! Thx for sharing.

One of the best review videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

Man you should send your modifications to the company. Maybe they could give you some kind of kick back. Good find and nice engineering. McGyver strikes again!!

Good honest review. This made me think of the older commercials on TV. "BASF we don't make the products you buy, we make the products you buy, better" here, at one eye customs we fix the engineers screw ups, and make the process better 🤣

Five stars and two thumbs up! I just bought the smaller unit and i was about to pull mine from the box... now I know there are Doug's recommendations to consider before use! Thanks

Nice review Doug...not everyone has the common sense to look at a product and say I can improve this. I truly hope that other companies start sending you products to review.

Great review. You have an amazing set up. Well done.

You made some excellent changes to those jacks. You should send your video to the manufacturer with recommendations for changes. You would be doing future air jack buyers everywhere a great favor.

Thanks for that , I ordered the 5 ton and I will be doing that hack , seems like it should work for long time. Thanks

Great review and mods! The only thing that I’m gonna do to mine is put a better air line on it. Then it’ll be right on! Thanks again for the video!👊🏼

The hose pinch thing is exactly what sets harbor freight tools apart in my opinion. The base of the tools like this are good for the money but there seems to always be some small improvement or mod to make them good long term. I know this isn't from HF but it made for a good example. When you were demonstrating the issue I had the same thing in mind with the notch you did. Good review/first use Doug.

First time seeing this video and I have to share that it was all-encompassing honestly It wasn't just a product review; you took the time to truly deep dive into these products and figured out that they needed to be improved and you created that amazing improvement that the company should incorporate into the new VEVOR DOUG Edition! That is truly astounding Doug honestly. Plus I love the fact that you strongly push safety and that no one should work under a car using these bladder jacks alone, and that these jacks are to lift your car nice and fast and easily but you need to secure your vehicle with good floor jacks, great stuff! Curious about the life of the rubber that makes up the bladder and the quality of the air hose and if it should be replaced after a few years. Thank you, Doug and outstanding forensic review for sure!

Seems as they forgot to fully engineer it and material procurement was off a bit. I’m thinking - what did they miss you can not see. You put a ton of work in to correct their oversights.

Good review video. Jack's look handy and I bet they will last a lot longer after your mod.

The Type "M" Air fitting in Your right hand is the No.1 most common in use. These would work great on soft ground where a wheeled Floor Jack has issues, Like My place at the moment The Problem with the width is I need room to get the jack stands in place. And I do not like lifting My 8'200 lb truck by the Differential. With these I could lift the truck with the Floor jack and put the Air jack under the tire (Brakes set) so I can get a Jack stand in place. Thanks Doug. Mike M.

Nice Honest Boots on the ground evaluation of these air pressure jacks.

I've just ordered the smaller unit before watching this vid. I am definitely going to do your mods on the lower handle. Thanks.

easy fix, I ran the airline around the side then into the slot, put a spring on it for protection works a treat and dosen't get caught up on anything... going to extend the handle by 30cm though, just a bit short to reach under my truck, an Isuzu NPR400, brilliant jack to lift with ease instead of the bottle jack

One problem with those. You also need a good air compressor, while a hydraulic jack and your arm is all you need.

Cool product but I'll stick with my floor jack. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

Great video Doug. Thanks for the tips on making it better. How much air pressure does it need to work and the volume it uses? Can you use a small portable compressor that you inflate your tires? If so, it's small and compact to carry to change your tire.

Just reporting that after getting my 3T version in white(cheapest color) for like 81 dollars after Doug’s discount it works great. I took my tiny air compressor and with only 100psi jacket up my wife’s RAV 4 with ease. You do not need an expensive air compressor to use this Air Jack. They even changed the handle design. I love it. We will see if it holds up. Thanks again Doug!

Your NPT (which is national pipe TAPER) fitting will fit into that NPS (straight) valve. Just use tape on the threads. The one looks like it came with an "M" fitting (the smaller one), and the other came with a "V" (aka Milton Hi-Flow). You appear to have "T" around your shop.

Should come with both types of fittings

The manufacturer of the air bags should hire you to do their R & D! I can see the usefulness of these, but as you showed, they should have done more refinement of them before releasing them. Those pinch points would have bothered me as well. And yes, your "cream" of fabbing those handles "rose to the top" again! I'm envious of your fabrication skills. Yes, I see these as being useful, but I don't think that they're "quite there yet", and for now I still prefer my long-reach, high-lift floor jacks. I don't need to use a block of wood to help raise my vehicle, which I view as sketchy, although I do do it when necessary.

Thank you for the great review.

DOUG, companies that send you products to try out are getting free R&D along with advertising ! I'm sure they will 'up their game' in the instruction manual and product now! Good Stuff!!!

I got around the different air inlet problem. I ran a separate air hose just for the jacks, this also saves time from switching hoses back and forth.

absolutely I'm stealing your idea. Thank you for that!

I recently purchased the 6Ton jack with wheels and noticed a big change in the bracket connecting the jack to the handle. The open slots now have a piece of metal outside of them and they include a spring to go over the air hose with a pinch area would be. I also noticed earlier handles had the locking knob welded on and mine has a bolt that goes straight through. I haven’t yet verified the compressor connections, being consistent, or being various sizes.

Excellent review on these jacks. As it's now more than a year since this review, I'd like to know if these have lasted (mostly the blue, 5T version) and working normally. I guess I'm wondering what the longevity of those bags are as well as the rest of it. The one thing I don't like is that tubing that you had to modify the handle for. I wondered if one could avoid all of that by just taping the hose to the outside of the handle instead of running on the inside. ??? Please do let me know if, after a year, if you used it a lot and if they are still working. Thanks in advance.

5:00 Hey it's a hocus focus - one handle will allow a four finger hand while the other offers room for a bonus finger. Noticing stuff, my fav pastime

Excellent review!

Excellent fix on the handle hose problem. I wasted over an hour yesterday trying the various combinations to no avail. Also I discovered the straight thread issue with the air inlet fitting. I found that the universal coupler on my air house would fit They need to hire a good translator for the assembly instructions or just use good drawings. I was missing some nuts in my bag. Metric nylocks lol. Did you end up having to cut your hose to length ? Did you have to cut the hose to fit too ?.

My one complaint about these is the collapsed height is taller than my HF Daytona 3 ton low profile jack. These are 5.7" vs the 3.25" of the Daytona. 2.5" doesn't sound like much until you try to get under something like a 2000 Toyota Camry, which has 5.2" ground cleanance.

I work out of my driveway doing brakes and winter tire switches, I can't believe I didn't buy one sooner. So far its worked perfectly. I did put a very hard rubber pad on top that I had laying around, this has worked great and I hope it lasts my hydraulic jacks are collecting dust

I like this idea and will buy one soon

To avoid pinch points, why not replace the two lock nuts and bolts with smooth cap bolts instead? Thread them from the other side with the smooth part on top.

Even with these hacks you're going to get chafing over time. Maybe also adding a bit of 10mm corrugated conduit to sheath the air tube?

But would you recommend it for a guy like me who can't do the mods to make it work that you did? I can do the universal connector, but I don't really have the grinding capabilities you do. A thought for a future video from a beginner at-home auto work would be how to and where to place jacks on your vehicle and things to make sure you know before you start doing your own home auto work. Great video!

my question for you is how do you store your jack stands when they're not in use? I feel like there's an easy solution for my problem considering I've got 12 jack stands some stay under vehicles all winter long and some are just for oil changes, changing tires etc. I look forward to your reply on this one! I will be definitely picking one of these jacks up! thanks again for the helpful videos.

Looks good to me, nice blade!

The weight on the rear axle of my 3500 Express conversion van is about 6000 lb. Do you think the 3 ton Vevor jack would lift it? I like the smaller size of the 3-ton unit. Would you be able to load up one of your vehicles to check it out???

Outstanding review.

I love your OCD. Good review.

I would buy one of the high capacity ones if they implemented all the improvements you made. I have seen similar one's and had thought about it. Could use a cordless 18V air compressor as well I think rather than shop air.

I just got one of these ! It's a 3 ton , But it's not the red or blue one ! It's the one that is cream colored & has a tubular handle from the base to the top were the control valves are that stays in a fixed position ! There is no binding or kinking of the feeder line inside the tube because the tube remains in a fixed position ! & IMHO this model is the best design or turn key right out of the box that requires no modifications at all ! & the only drawback is it only comes in the 3 ton , & not in the 5 ton ( blue ) But it is better than the 3 ton one ( red ) I do like the mods You made on both of them ! I believe that's called reverse engineering ? Either way You made a improvement on those 2 models IMO . Thanks for the video .

How about trying it with a 5 gallon air tank.

10:00 Mine came with a metal spring that you put that hose inside the spring to protect wearing! Europe - Finland.

the bottle jack I use to lift my truck goes up straight, makes no difference as long as you place the jack correctly, shouldn't tip unless you don't know what you're doing

it would be good to try having all 4 connected and see how they would lift this would be another test

The rocking motion wouldn't be there if the bags were under load.?. You only have limited air in the bags when no weight is on the top of it..?.

Kinda hard to see engineering flaws when you order on line. I think I'd get some air bags off of a semi trailer and build a super heavy duty lift. Maybe run the hose through pvc tubing and mount it to the outside of the square tubing.

should have had a spring to go on the hose at the bottom of the handle

So, what kind of spacer was that between jack & control arm towards end of video ? Thanks

My 6 ton unit came with the wheel axle bent. Contacting support provided a $25 discount.

Nailed it!

Do those poly propylene floor tiles get indented from the sharp edge base of the jack stands? I was considering getting the Vevor tiles but wondering if they could hold to to the extreme pressure without using an additional plate to distribute the force.

It looks like your shop male couplings use a tapered thread, presumably 1/4". The supplied ones are parallel. A tapered into a parallel will seal on the threads, whereas parallel into parallel will not, and requires a face seal. Engineering-wise, face seals are probably better, but for airlines personally I have had the most luck just using quality tapered fittings (and discarding the supplied Universal ones)

Wise mechanics stock quality brass chucks and nipples ahead of time as they're so inexpensive even if you buy Milton. I previously made a bag jack from an 18-wheeler suspension bag to raise and shift my 40' shipping containers while expanding my shop (suspension bags do NOT have internals to limit sideways travel but there are videos to address that, I wanted the movement for that job) which worked flawlessly but Vevors are so inexpensive it's not worth fabbing smaller sizes except for mechanics who have bags handy. When jacking anything of size I do like first responders and "capture progress" with wooden cribbing and old alloy rims laid on their sides which is stable even on dirt (which is why so many salvage yards use steel rims, but alloy is much nicer to lift). BTW if you use a CO2 cylinder like off-roaders do for tires they work great for inflating the Vevor or other bag jack. I have CO2 anyway for welding and mobile tire topoff so the Vevor lets me swap trailer tires etc in the field using the same CO2 I inflate them with.

Would have liked to see you lift your track loader with it :D

Now go buy or if you have plastic door guard strip material put it on your hole sawed half moons at the bottom and at the top where it exits the box tube from the elongated hole, with that there's no way you'll puncture the air hose tube. Seriously I thing pex tube would work better and its rated for high presure more so then that tube is.

I see they already changed the design to a fixed handle on the website which should work. In changing the handle they had to change the base too so you can stand it on end now to hide the jack away when not in use. Great review and modifications Doug! What kind of air requirements are on these air jacks? I would hate to have to pull out my larger compressor every time I needed to jack something up.

Very good!

So I see your organization of tools and equipment but something I am trying to do currently is organize my consumables. example grinding/cut off /sanding wheels and other items that I would like to keep visible to see inventory. Any ideas ????

Very good review, Doug. I'd be like you with that tube pinching issue. I'd modify it similarly. I'm too anal. Don't have enuf use to justify a purchase like that but you have lots more equipment than me so it makes more sense for your situation. Wondering if you could have simply swapped out the ball valves on those vs adding disconnects to accommodate your air system??

Thing is if it leans forward as the vehicle goes up then the center of gravity has moved away from the base of the air jack. Thus is is no longer lifting from the center of gravity. To risky as far as I am concerned.

Does anyone know what size and type of hose they use?

They are meant to be used fully extended till you put the jack stands in place.

If the owner cannot figure out how to do the airline at the bottom they can return it and get them a hydraulic jack

flip your bolts around, or get stove bolts and put in there.

what's the dia on those bags? I have one without the long handle, has two handlebars on it, has 10 1/2" bag dia - 3 ton.... yours looks smaller. wondering if they downsized 3 ton bag. 10 1/2" deflated

Can an ARB dual compressor run this Jack?

What is on top of the jack when you lifted the truck .how is it attached to the jack ...does it come with it ...did you make it .?

Zip tie the hose along the side ?

If both the 3 and 5 ton models have nearly the same lift height, was there a situation where the 3 ton was unable to lift what the 5 ton was able to? The wider footprint of the 5 ton would be a drawback if it added nothing that was necessary to do the job.

Good call, just now you’ve added an extra $20 to each unit.

it would be nice to know the height deflated. I don't think it will fit under my Challenger

Free engineering tips Doug.

They should put you on the payroll. But alas. They probably will say you've just voided the warranty lol.

they are a jack. you are to use supports after you raise it up but like everyone, some will use as a jack stand and get hurt. they are airbags, not steel. air will move with force. you have to be smarter than what you're working with.

Good review, But In will stay with my old school floor jacks🚜👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

It is far from better than a jack. 1. Smaller lifting range. 2.Larger height when fully compressed meaning you won't be able to get it under some cars. Don't get me wrong I love mine, but it will never completely replace my floor jack. That said I am thinking about getting another, these work best in pairs.

Hey brother, how much do they weigh?

Thumbs up #492 from North Carolina!

The adjustable handles are a pain, I removed the 2 bolts that mount the hinge to the plate and welded the hinge, I drilled a hole in the handle and bolted it in the flat down position permanently. There is no need for the handle to move. I have one with the non-adjustable handle and I should have gotten another one the same. The folding handle is a shit design.

There ya go again, costing me money when I watch your videos. Ordered a 5-ton for the truck. My wife's gonna kill me. 🤫

Send the company your review!

Down fail is using on side of the road, who has a air compressor ???

No wonder he has one eye as tht piece of timba took it 😢

Have you
