Does anyone ever use one of those Exhaust Air Jack to lift their truck ?

At first sight, it look like a pretty cool and simple way to lift a vehicle !
What are your thoughts ?

 

After watching the vid looks like a easy way to roll over a car

 

yeah, and I wouldn't want that to pop!

 

wth..seriously..

 

wouldn't ever see me under a vehicle 'jacked' up by that thing

 

It's the same concept used by rescuers & firefighters in major accidents to free up peoples in car crash or in other types of accidents where peoples are stucks. It also use for heavy recovery work. These air cushions are amazingly tough and can handle very high pressures.

That thing is pretty interesting not to sure I like the part where you hook it up to the muffler tho... once the bag is full it looks like he just twists the lever and the gases are released right by his hands so he would be breathing in a bunch of the gases. I might be wrong but I think if they used air ide like them more otherwise it is kinda a neat product.

 

Looks too unstable. I think almost everyone here will pass on this one.

 

Well thats cool, but still you will not catch me using that to change a flat or clean under my truck. I'll stick to old fashioned floor jack and jack stands that I know will keep it stable.

 

Just think, with those, People can't blame firestone for rolling over their exploders now

 

Darren you big wussy!

 

. Screw that, even though I dont have a family yet I treat my life like I do

 

I have never heard of this ever.

 

its more for offroad recovery, better than a jack in offroad condition/situation IMO
