The rubber pneumatic ones are commonly used in tire shops, because they are really fast, and there already has to be a decently-sized compressor at a tire shop anyways. There is also a version that has a wider actuator and an "X" shaped platform to lift the entire car. I've also seen those actuators used to make earthquake simulators.

@TheWinjin

Interestingly every shop I've been at in CIS countries uses floor jacks - I think it's because they're easier to manuever, without the air, and less parts to worry about. Though honestly they believe in these too much, I've never seen something like a jack stand that was shown in the beginning of the vid. They just leave cars hanging on those jacks, though these are only used for tire swaps, no one is under the car at that moment. But if it fails, the car can totally drop on the floor.

Some bottle jacks have the top unscrewable, they have inside a threaded metal bar that if you unscew it will go out and make them a bit higher. I don't know if the threads will fail under load but for a roadside wheel change it should act better than scissor jacks. That being said, after my main jack failed and my car was stranded on stands, I got one of these and added some hockey pucks and it worked perfectly to get my car back on road.

@@lasskinn474 Longer stroke or a larger diameter of the smaller piston. Both means the volume of oil pumped with a single stroke increases and the lift cylinder will move more. This is true for both the bottle jacks and the garage jacks. But for a garage jack there's yet another way to change the lift speed as you can change the geometry for how the lift piston is connected to the lift arm. By connecting the cylinder closer to the hinge, or by making the arm longer the lift height can be increased without changing the distance the piston moves. Anyway you change these parameters it will get heavier to operate. There are garage jacks that have two pump cylinders. When both are engaged the arm will move twice as much as when only one is engaged. That way you can raise the jack quickly so it get contact with the car. Then when it get's heavy to pump one pump piston is disconnected and it will halve the resistance making it easier to lift the car, but it will also only lift it half the as much with each pump of the handle.

My '90 Dodge B-250 Van, (The older cousin to your yellow Dodge van) Still has the bumper jack. Yeah, The old style type that you would put the foot plate on, stand it up, insert into a slot on the bumper and lever it up/down. But my van is a conversion van with the high roof and the lower body skirting. That lower skirting pretty much hides the frame rails way up under there. - To those who have never used one, be warned: Make DAMN SURE that they are straight, and when levering on the handle, there will be a part of the stroke where you are bearing weight. Don't let go of the handle! That sumbitch will swing up with speed and nail you right in the (whatever is in it's path) The nice thing about them is that you don't have to crawl on the ground at the side of the car (potentially the side facing traffic) to use them. You just stand up at the front or rear bumper and work the jack. BUT If not positioned right they can fall over. And if they fall toward the car, you're getting a massive dent or losing a light! But I like them way better than the newer scissor jacks. Again, I don't have to crawl on the ground to use it.

What a great combo these two are. Really balance each other well. Very funny and informative at the same time. Like everyone else on the team as well, just saying these two work well together.

I was a bus mechanic for a long time, bottle jacks were the only jack we used to lift buses. Of course you wouldn't get under one unless you also had stands, under both the chassis and the body. You'd actually be more likely to be squashed by an airbag blowing and the body dropping down than by a jack failing

Since the test scenario was changing a wheel on the road, I'd have liked to see the air jack operated from the kind of tyre compressor you carry in the boot. Lift time would probably come down to a similar time to the scissor jack. I still prefer the vertical-threaded jack from my old Rover. Smooth as butter to use.

You guys said that the electric scissor jack could only be used for bigger vehicles, but when I looked it up, you don’t need to use that pin to lift up a vehicle, it works just like every other scissor jack, so unless you’ve got a really low car under 6 inches, or the one I saw or 5.5 inches, I don’t think you have a problem. It goes under pretty much the same vehicles as the manual scissor jack I think.

I do inspection stickers on cars and using those balloon style jacks is a game changer. It saves so much time and is definitely the best option for a shop.

I use those when working on vehicles for side cash and I would be willing to bet I could have all 4 wheels off of the ground and ready for axle stands in less time than it took Nolan to raise the car with a normal scissor jack.

I think the manual scissor jack is superior for daily drivers and lowered road cars. Especially the one with the hex bolt head for lifting. Lightweight, take up little space, easy to use, will fit under lowered cars, no hydraulic fluid to leak, cheap to replace. I've used them as wheel chocks by laying them sideways, to position front control arms when doing ball joints, and to raise/lower rear arms when doing suspension. Helps when space it limited and a full size jack impedes works space. I ended up replacing the correctly named vw "widow maker" jacks in my older cars.

That tall iron off road jack is a Hi-Lift, not just Lift. Their heritage goes back to the old Conestoga wagons. One thing it is very good at that the air jack can't do, is lift one end of the vehicle with the jack in the middle, left to right. When both wheels clear the ground, one can then push to vehicle to the side to firmer ground. The jack just falls to the side. Mandatory for off roading.

I gotta say, my first jack experience. I jacked up my car in the middle, peeled off both rear tires, and watched the wind shift the car to the side, wedge the jack under the car, and slam the rotors straight on the asphalt, adding about 3 hours to the job of switching winters to summers

One of my parents cars has a funky half scissor jack. Like, it only has one extension instead of a diamond shape so it folds up into basically an 8" bar. Very compact and absolutely terrifying to use. It describes a slight arc as it lifts where a real scissor jack is perfectly vertical, which also means the load isn't perfectly centered on the boot until it reaches wheel changing height. Serviceable in a perfectly flat and level parking lot, but I'd hate to use it on the side of the road. Fortunately the car has run flats in lieu of a spare so you never have to actually use it. It's only purpose is to facilitate at home tire changes...in a perfectly flat and level parking lot with the aid of a jack stand.

I was hoping to see the Brunnhoelzl in this clash, good video :)

I've bought a couple of cheap bottle jacks and promptly returned them. I haven't settled on a jack for my car yet, but when I do happen to be looking, I unbox them at the store and test them right then and there. You won't believe how many jacks leak down out of the box. Although, I think most of it could be fixed just by bleeding them.

That airjack is phenomenal. Edit: both of them, but that 18wheeler airbag jack is awesome.

Love this series 👍

A lot of UK roadside assistance company’s such AA and RAC use Jack Bags, they don’t have the wheels or the Arm on them, but they’re really easy to store and fit under the majority of cars at the roadside, without the dangers of anything protruding out into the live traffic

The time difference looked more like nolan on the tire than Jerry and the Jack. No doubt that more range equals faster raise time, but even in your test by the time the lugs are off the car is going to be up with either Jack. Interested in is it easier to get it to the lift point, if wheels are better? The movement of the release better and more predictable? Great video guys. Always look forward to these!

The pressure on each piston is the same. Pressure is just force over area, so the small piston has a small force(you pumping the jack) on a small area which puts a large force(what pushes the car up) over a large area on the big piston.

Saw ARod lift a power stroke on the rear axle with the airbag one and I was pretty impressed. I'd buy one if I had a shop with air.

Can you guys please do another money pit series, that’s we all want!

I've never had a problem with bottle jacks. They're great if you have a lower profile car, and are perfectly safe as long as you remember to tighten the bleed valve enough and use jack stands. I also put a wood board between the jack and the frame so I don't scratch it and have a wider surface area. I have, however, had 3 scissor jacks give out in one day!!

I have used bottle jacks to lift beams under houses and lift floors of homes, in fact, still have my American made 12 ton from 30 years ago when I was remodeling homes.

Love all your videos you guys are awesome. I've learned a lot from you that I'll definitely use in the future. Keep them coming and I'll learn even more.

You can twist the top of the bottle jack like you did the electric scissor jack. Been using mine for years on my extended van and pickup truck

I’ve been seeing that air bag jack all over ads, glad to see it works

4:05 not all bottle jacks are like that. The bottle jack that comes in my car from factory has another piston inside the big one.

One I’ve seen was a screw type that broke first use, a state trooper had to use a floorjack to lift the truck off the bottle jack. It wouldn’t go back down it would just spin. I

I really like the segmented, shop air jack, and it's my overall choice for what I would need it for, but would never try to lift the end of the car. It doesn't have the lateral stability to do that. The electric scissor jack gets low score for me because it sounds like it would fail with just a few uses. My guess is there are similar devices with more powerful motors, or they're all the same, just different paint ;-)

The bottle jack is meant to be under the axle to lift the vehicle properly. This is why they are also often referred to as axel jacks. They are not meant to be lifted by the frame. Also, the NASCAR race jacks are limited in their weight capacity. Typically, they are limited to 2,000 up to a maximum of 2,500 lbs. This is plenty fine for lifting a car, of course, or even a small pickup truck. Or just lifting one wheel of a larger vehicle. But most floor jacks that you see in a garage, like a tire shop, start at 3,000 lbs (1.5 tons) and work their way up from there. The higher the load capacity of a jack typically the slower the jack will be.

The compressed air jacks are awesome, but I'd definitely want it on jack stands before taking the tire off.

I know everyone might look at these videos and think it's cringe or whatever but it's actually really informative on what's important to invest in, so for that thank you Donut Media, and especially thank you Nolan and Jeremiah for explaining how they work and why they work or don't work. Love your videos guys keep it up!

Not really, they messed up this test so bad I only made it to 3:19 before I stopped and went to the comments. They changed vehicles, which makes a difference They didn't start the time on the bottle jack, until it was engaged with the jack spot, which makes a difference. So if you're using this for a scale on which is fastest, this video isn't for you.

​@@mac6417 I agree, but that's what they're comparing here, that's why I brought it up. How fast it goes from 0 to full lift, is one of the last things on my mind when buying a jack lol What they should've done was test each jack on about 5 or so different real-life situation, that'd make this video actually informative.

lets just take a moment and admire that clean af 250r at 1:18 in the background

Scissor jack times can be sped up by raising the jack to rough sil height of the car before you go to line it up, and then use an impact on it. I don't have a stupidly low car, but the side skirts on it make it easier to use a scissor jack before a handle jack.

Very uplifting video to pump us up this morning

What until the end. I didn't expect that coming. I love it

In 50 years of driving, I never have had to change a tire due to a sudden loss of tire pressure, but, for my own safey, if I had to change a tire, my jack needs to be purely mechanical, as any sort of hydraulic, air bag contraptiin is not safe to work without axle stands, and it's unlikely that I'd tote around axle stands on the off change I'd get a flat. So, most car manufacturers have it right by including a scissor jack. Thanks for sharing.

5:00 so, is no one gonna talk about how yuh boy missed an opportunity to name it Jack Jack? Well at least they won't be hearing from Pixar 😁

This is probably the most requested video besides an up to speed on James Pumphrey’s dad lol
