EASY way to LEVEL a Sidewalk!!! THANKS, TINY JACK!!!
I think my headline says it all, but I will elaborate a little. Say you have a sidewalk that has sunken into the ground on one side, causing a very uneven pathway. First - BUY THESE... 1 Per Sidewalk EDGE you want lifted. Second - Dig holes alongside and then under, the sunken sidewalk edge... These 2 Ton Bottle Jacks are so tiny you will not have to dig very deep. Place the jacks and then jack up the concrete. NOTE: you will be leaving a gap under the concrete. The best thing to do is buy a few bags of cheap concrete or gravel and fill in the void from the now EVEN concrete sidewalk or slab... I am telling you this works BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Great Product
Followed instructions to bleed out any air, and there was none. Put under my 15,000 pound trailer and it lifted no sweat. It is a heavy rated jack so it does go up slowly as expected. Yes when it comes down it stop where ever weight is no longer on it pushing down, so you have to manually finish it. Great product larger button head and larger base make it sturdy.

GREAT VALUE - lifts high and strong ...
ideal solution for pickups or trucks ... small enough to fit under the axle and lifts tall enough to lift frams if needed ideal combination and has lots of lifting power ... works great ... mine came with box saturated with hydraulic fluid from overpressure valve venting ... and it takes a LOT of pumping to raise it up so ... be a bit patient ... it is a high volume jack cylinder and a small pump volume ... good ratio to lift heavy loads ... but that means lots of pumping to get it up valve was "stiff" so expect to need a bit more force first few uses to get it open enough to go down ... and closed enough to go up. Once used a few times it is fine ... mostly they just painted the threads ... and you need to work that out of the threads on the "valve" unit first uses ... fine points of quality polish as not there ... but who cares ... it works, does as good a job as the 300 buck units ... and is durable as hell ... not buying it for an art exhibit anyhow ...

Install Flash Player Bottle jacks are OEM in large trucks, vans, and SUVs. If you've only driven small cars, then you will probably only be familiar with the flimsy scissor jack in the trunk, or really big floor jacks that you see in garages. A bottle jack is capable of lifting 2, 4, 6, 8 , 10, 12, 20, 30, 50 tons, in a small package, and at a cost which is significantly less. By comparison, 2 & 4 ton bottle jacks will cost less than the price of a scissor jack, and take up less space in cubic inches. Typical scissor jacks are rated for 1.5 ton, and mechanical, meaning that they rely on brute force. Floor jacks typically lift from 1.5 to 4 tons, are huge, weigh over 100 lbs, and can cost hundreds of $$$. Bottle jacks are limited in lift range by the ram travel, or length which the piston extends from the main cylinder. The smallest bottle jack is about 7", and you must have the required ground clearance. If you are lifting by the unibody pinch weld, factory lift point, or frame rail; you must factor in the suspension travel of the vehicle. With unibody vehicles, minimum lift range has to be considered along with the size of the jack pad. There are strategies to using bottle jacks. You can lift the vehicle high enough to rest on a jack stand, raise the extension screw or move up to a larger bottle jack, and lift again until your tire is off the ground. Once vehicle is safely supported on jack stand, you can then use the bottle jack to raise the wheel. Instead of lifting the vehicle, you can lift the tire from the axle. A bottle jack is also capable of lifting at the differential, if your gear box is strong enough that the saddle doesn't damage it. Will a bottle jack replace your scissor jack, floor jack, and jack stands? No. First thought is the eliminate the scissor jack entirely. Scissor jacks are simply not safe. You do not see scissor jacks in use in professional garages. Tow trucks do not use scissor jacks. Legitimate shops have lifts. However, not everything is done on a lift, and there is still a lot of work which floor jacks are used. Depending on the service being performed, you will also see bottle jacks. You will never find 1 wrench which can do everything. You will never find 1 jack which can do it all. Bottle jacks in different sizes will find their way into your collection of tools. Once you use 1 bottle jack, you will find that you are buying another; same way you have a low profile jack for your small car, larger floor jack with a higher lift range for trucks, different size jack stands, and even different weight range UniJacks ( Powerbuilt 640912 All-In-One 3-Ton Bottle Jack with Jack Stand ). Why? Because you do not own a professional shop with a lift. Ever notice how in larger shops, like at the dealerships, they even have different types of lifts? The real reason why you will buy this, in multiples and in different weight ranges, is because your landlord will not allow you to install a 4 post lift in your 3rd floor apartment. Also consider that a bottle jack is a lot easier to carry in the trunk of your car, than a floor jack. Can you imagine bending over into your trunk, lifting a floor jack weighing over 100 pounds, and then wrestling it in & out of the trunk? How is your back going to feel? Nor do you want to be the guy that a scissor jack collapses on. A lot of buyers complained about the jack not working. You can own this bottle jack forever. However, you do need to maintain, clean, lubricate, inspect for leaks, replace seals as needed, bleed to purge excess air, only use& store jack in upright position, keep oil at proper level, and change hydraulic fluid as needed. The owners manual will have a trouble shooting guide. Manufacturer will support product and supply parts as needed. A lot of buyers complained about the fit & finish, and build quality. Paint is sprayed haphazardly, labels are stuck on without care, and item is boxed even before the paint dries and cures. Amazing that they fill and plug the jack, prior to painting, so that the rubber fill plug has red paint which peels off, and there is bare metal under the plug. These most certainly leave the factory wrapped and strapped to a pallet to prevent them from being turned over and/or crushed. Once they reach the wholesale and distribution level, the pallets are broken down. Eventually, they are sent via parcel to you. UPS< USPS, FedEx, Amazon Flex Delivery.....where the boxes are not packed properly, the package is dropped, thrown, and tumbled on conveyor belts. More than once, I've opened the box to find that hydraulic fluid leaked. On every unit I received, I had to bleed and refill prior to use. Know this, and expect that the jack is not useable right out of the box. In the marketplace, you will see that most of the bottle jacks look the same, have similar specs, and appear to only have different labels. A quick search on the interweb will reveal wholesale pricing and that most jacks are sourced in China. Don't be shocked that jacks cost very little at the wholesale level. Buy 1,000 units for pennies on the dollar. Now arrange for freight transport, and pay the customs tariff. You will be in business. Load them into your car, and go sell them.

Great jack for cheap
For the price this thing is pretty dang sturdy. I don’t own a truck anymore but I do find bottle jacks incredibky useful for lifting your tank or transmission when replacing parts, gaskets, mounts, etc. and you want something that will be easy to fit under your vehicle, sit still, and be able to hold a massive amount of weight. This was perfect for replacing my transmission mount which required me to lift it about 5 or 6 inches with a wooden block. I’m sure I will be using it many time in the future. Don’t forget to properly prepare the jack before using. Don’t wanna get your axles or transmission smashed... or even worse, your head.

Changed my Subaru's snow tires in 1 hour, 15 minutes
This year I decided to get better tools for changing my snow tires, instead of the scissors jack and lug wrench that came with the car. The Torin Big Red Hydraulic Bottle Jack is the right size for my 2005 Subaru Outback. Lifting the car is quick and easy, and lowering it just takes turning a knob. A half-inch ratchet driver with the Performance Tool W32924 1/2-Inch Impact Drive 19mm Thin Wall Socket made it easy to get the lug nuts on and off. Camco 44414 Wheel Chocks were easier than putting rocks behind the wheels. I had my tires changed in one hour, 15 minutes, including hauling them from the shed, etc. That's faster than taking my car to the tire shop in the morning and picking it up in the afternoon.

I finally had to use it.... ...
I finally had to use it..... I had almost 34,000 pounds on my set of drive axles when a tire blew up on my way out of a parking lot... It seemed to lift and hold the weight of my fully loaded truck effortlessly while I spent an hour and a half peeling off the old tire and beating on the spare.

Good little economical bottle jack.
This is my second one. First one had case which was nice. These are great to have if you are travelling across the country pulling a trailer, etc. Much easier than using the spare jack. The second one will stay at vacation home if I ever need a jack since I don't have a proper car jack there. The quality is fine for the price and the small size means you can use for other purpose as well - like if I ever need to jack a support beam on a house or something...which will be never I admit.

Plenty of power and well made.
So we had to perform a big lifting job at our cabin, and the bottle jack I had was not going to cut it. I had an old 4 ton bottle jack, but I had to lift the corner of our cabin to replace some rotten wood on the support pylons and I knew I'd need more power than that. I ordered this 10 ton jack, with the intention of using it, in conjunction with the 4 ton jack to do the job, but I only needed this jack. With a metal plate on top to disperse the pressure, I was able to lift the house enough, and hold it, long enough to replace the wood a the top of the pylons. Well, make that two pieces of wood on two pylons actually. Very impressive jack for sure.
