You may think these impacts are good, but they are shit. Good for ppl that get their tires rotated often and torqued to spec. But very few ppl torque to spec these days. Every just blasts them on w far more powerful impacts. I have a decent impact rated for 550 ft lbs and it often struggles, because ppl just blast them on w more powerful impacts. Still better off cracking them free by hand before lifting the car, then use these to finish removing. And absolutely tighten with a torque wrench or breaker bar. Most impact are more powerful in reverse, so these are probably very low powered in forward and can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to tighten wheels. Always check w a torque wrench or breaker bar after

I thought the tools looked very cheap at first. Then the testing started and I couldn't believe how well the jacks performed. Next the impact wrench test. I didn't think any would work, but they did, all the way to 250 lf-ft of torque. Finally, the failure test was very impressive. These are definitely good tools to have in case of an emergency. And even if your spare tire has lost air, there's a compressor to pump it back up. Very nice!

Also, most impacts arent as powerful in forward, so these can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to install wheels. Better off cracking them free w a breaker bar before lifting the vehicle, then can use these to finish removing them. And always check they are tight enough with a torque wrench or breaker bar.

Timely topic! I've been considering lift alternatives for use on full size pickups - both on and off road. #1) Hydraulic floor jacks are an old standard. But 3 ton capacity units such as Harbor Freight's (HF) 'Daytona Super Duty' weigh over 110 pounds. That's an awkward amount to wrestle. Also, floor jacks often bend if the surface isn't both hard and flat (e.g. uneven, off camber dirt surface). Also, seal failures are a risk that can abruptly 'pop up', rendering them useless. #2) Scissor jacks are much lighter, simpler (no risk of a fluid seal failure). The E-help looks quite promising (may get one). Ideally, I'd like to find one rated for 3+ tons that also has a more robust frame than E-Help's, one that is less prone to bend on either irregular surfaces or if jack alignment is not optimally maintained. (Note: HF 2 ton units have terrible, gall prone bushings in the Acme screw mechanism, compromising rated load capability. Even greasing them before first use does not resolve the issue) #3) The double ram bottle jack is a third candidate. However, the concern again is unpredictable seal failures, especially if it's stored in a hot, sun soaked vehicle, potentially for years before a need arises. #4) In terms of lifting capacity, by my metrics, all the electro hydraulic lifts FAILED. None reached 6000 lbs, let alone had any safety margin above that. AND, they have fluids, with potential risk of seal failures.

The 3 ton's material is listed as alloy steel, while the 5 ton's material is (surprisingly) listed as aluminum (might be a spec. error). I ordered the 5 ton, hopefully for the extra margin it offers. It also claims an inch higher lift while maintaining the same minimum height as the 3 ton. This unit costs $100 and is is not kitted with an impact wrench, sockets, or a carry case.

I’m only posting this here because I couldn’t find a place to post on a test you did in 2019 on diesel fuel supplements. As a person who has owned and driven diesel vehicles all my life starting at 1972 when I purchased my first Mercedes-Benz 220 diesel for $8000 new. Back then it was a new experience in the severe cold weather at Montreal, Canada and Burlington Vermont. I soon learned the only way to keep it going at 25 below zero with a 40 miles an hour wind chill was to use half diesel with the kerosene being added first because that is lighter than the diesel or else it will stay on top and you could still freeze up your fuel lines. This always worked fine for me and still does. I think you should do a retest this time if possible use a 40 gallon fuel tank @ 25 below zero temperature and a fan blowing on the plastic 40 gallon fuel tank to simulate a 50 mph wind blowing on it and see what type of results you get using the exact measurement that the container says to add to the fuel. I tried additives years back they never seem to work for me in those extreme conditions, but 50-50, kerosene diesel diesel fuel did. My 1986 Ford diesel probably had the best set up with duel, 20 gallon fuel tanks that you could control by a switch on the dash I kept straight kerosene in 1 and diesel in the other. When temperatures got extreme at night I could just throw the switch and keep on driving a real lifesaver in those conditions at that time before the cell phones GPS and all the other goodies people have today.

Haven't watched the entire video yet, but when you got to the bottle jack I flinched. I've been driving since the mid sixties, worked on thousands and thousands of cars and owned several hundred. I don't think I've ever pulled a bottle jack out of a car and not found it leaking oil. Mostly they don't work after they have been in there a year or two, plus they always leak all over the place. You are supposed to store them upright. Good luck with that. On to your excellent video.

Your videos are not only informative but very entertaining. Not very often that I laugh out loud, but I did on this one. Did anybody else laugh when the motor fell off or am I twisted? That air bag exhaust lift looks like something out of a cartoon. I researched Amazon comments on some of the 12V jacks. Some of the comments said that the jack would go up and not come down. That would put you into quite a predicament if you had a flat on the highway. You'd be better off using the crappy jack that comes with the car. I bought a scissors jack and a socket adapter to raise the car in no time using a cordless impact. I greased the threads on the long bolt to make it more efficient. I wonder how much that would've improved your lift time and maximum weight.

I recently had to change a tire on our new car with a scissor jack and while it was not terrible, it seems to have some hotspots that make it tricky to use with no weight. That wasn't as bad but the tire compressor I had took some 10-15mins to fill the tire up to to 35psi, and was looking for an impact wrench/jack adapter for the jack AND a better compressor and was seeing some Milwaukee brand tools which I'm sure will be great but are really out of my budget. This video is a LIFESAVER. Frankly I'd buy the big red if my primary need wasn't the air compressor. I'll be buying one of these shortly. I have a collapsible breaker bar so the impact wrenches aren't a must for me, and it already performed great on overtightened nuts. And also to Mr. Project Farm also thanks for the tire repair kit video. If anyone is already buying one of these jacks, spend a bit of extra money and buy one of those kits as well, even the basic tire repair kits can work wonders and make a puncture a non issue and with these lifts/inflators you can completely lift the car and repair the tire in some 30 mins.

If they're 12-18 volts, you can run them underwater. you can see demonstrations of this in videos. An old mechanic told me this, and I didn't believe him. "How do you think a fuel pump functions fully submerged?" Oh... Right. After that, I ran my garage lights on 12v to keep it from needing a mains hookup, and would shock onlookers by dipping my wiring and light switch in a bucket of water, effecting the lights not at all. I mean shock as in surprise. Nobody was shocked.

Here's what I came up with for my roadside kit, and I've tested it multiple times: Makita XWT11SR1 18V Impact Wrench (210 Ft/lbs on the motor, 295Ft/lbs max for removing lug nuts. Tekton 1/2in. Drive Thin Wall Flip Impact Socket Set (Mine was Husky but this is about the same.) Scissor jack that came with the car. So here's how it works: I pull out the impact wrench and the scissor jack, then I pick out the socket that fits around the eye-hole for the jack's crank handle. I center the jack where it needs to be and use the impact wrench. Your tire will be off the ground in under 5 seconds. As long as the wheel spins freely the jack is high enough. Impact wrenches do not require leverage to remove a lug nut so you don't need to pre-loosen them. Do your tire swap and get the lugs back on. START THEM ALL BY HAND--an impact wrench doesn't care if you cross-thread a lug nut, but the next guy to to work on that tire sure will. Once the lugs are as tight as you can manage with the impact wrench, lower the jack all the way down and finish tightening every lug by hand. Your car's tire iron and a little elbow grease will work just fine, but get a torque wrench if you just HAVE to be that guy. I went with separate devices for car boost pack and air pump because I wanted something that would work on cars AND trucks (in other words, beefier than a home gamer's all-in-1 gadget). No complaints whatsoever with my setup, and I can get the tire swapped out NASCAR fast...Ish. :)

Excellent work as usual. I agree, i didn't think much of the capacity of these electric units because of the danger component. But you have shown that they are capable. I carry an air pump, a heavy duty dewalt impact wrench, and an oem scissor jack rated for a heavy SUV ( used on my car)... i use the impact to raise and lower the scissor, so it is a psuedo-electric, and also for removing the lugs... the SUV oem jack also has a higher lift and load... so i am well prepared for a tire change. I do suggest your audience consider your tested options.... great job... best youtube site .... keep up the incredible work it is your calling, and you should reap the rewards for your diligence..

You can buy some that spin clockwise and counterclockwise but they are not meant for tightening. It's meant for left hand thread vs right hand thread. These little guns release a lot of torque and can snap a stud.

I could never understand how nobody thought of it decades ago because by now, the things would be a few hundred dollars and we could all afford one. I have worked on cars since I was 15 years old which is 30 years. *What I would have given and would still give for a car lift.*

Great testing as always! I wanted to get your opinion, maybe this would be a second part to assess the effectiveness of those mixer impacts. What I was wondering was, did you experience any high temps on the impacts tested in this video? How do think they'd perform if you actually had to change a tire (remove all of the lugnuts, and then reattach them). For some reason I keep thinking of how some inflators have a continuous run time limit that shuts the motor down to prevent over heating.

Excellent testing as always, and surprising results from the electric bottle jacks! The biggest surprise was those impact wrenches, would never have expected them to perform so well! Unrelated, have you considered doing a test on various cordless (or corded!) jigsaws?

-For 19 years I drove a Porsche 928 as a daily driver, from when it was 14 years old until it was 33. I bought the space saver spare tire and the jack and the compressor online, since those were long gone. The jack was an "L" jack that folded upon itself and due to Duralumin construction weighed about 4 pounds and fit in a Porsche felt bag. I used it occasionally to lift the car so I could slide my larger floor jacks underneath. It was totally manual and totally cool and I thought about keeping it when I traded the 928 in 2018, but I let the next person have it. Four pounds could easily lift 3300 pounds....

Electric Car Jack? That's news to me. I'm looking forward to the winner. With these e-jacks running from a 12v cigarette lighter socket, they must draw 15 Amps or less to prevent blowing the most commonly used fuse. ~$100 ain't bad, if the E-HEELP holds up to your rigorous testing. Its base could be more study, looking at it with unit turned sideways. It could have extended more from the non-motor side like the motor side does. I love how Cousin Eddie got all dressed up so classy for the job. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 He's ready to tackle any job, as long as he doesn't stump a toe or skin a knee. He's a flasher in the making. I really didn't think the impact wrenches would work, but they're pretty impressive for 12V devices. Even the ones that take longer, it's amazing that they work, even on 250 ft-lbs. The ABN is slower than the E-HEELP at getting the tire off the ground, and it lost balance while lifting the Farmabego, tilting away from the motor end, which could be disastrous and even deadly. Its impact is 1/2 second faster than the E-HEELP, but that's not a dealbreaker for me and we shouldn't be dealing with lug nuts tightened to 250 ft-lbs anyway, though the E-HEELP passed that test with flying colors. The E-HEELP lifted 7030 lbs while rated at 3 tons (6613.87 lbs) the ABN gave up at only 3398 lbs while rated at 5 tons (10,000.lbs). How sad. The E-HEELP withstood 8000 lbs before being destroyed, even though it twisted and I would never subject it to that. I have an expensive metal cased 12V portable air compressor, VIAIR Model 84P, so I don't need one in an e-jack kit, so the E-HEELP will be the one for me. It won't fit under the spare tire donut like the one supplied does, but that's OK with me, too. Man, did it hold up! However, the price is $140 now, not $100, and after reading the Amazon reviews, I am conflicted about even trying one. Many say the jack didn't work on the third attempt to use it, which made it unreturnable being too late, and many say that all the impact wrench does is blow fuses and some say the jack does, too. I know you got a good one, but reviewers also say they got used units, kits with missing components, and product that didn't work out of the box. Many found these issues after trying the jack and wrench months later, which also made the kit unreturnable. I would have to test the jack and wrench for every function immediately and, after having done so, the jack or wrench may never work again, once you finally need. I'm sorry, Todd, but I'm going to have to pass on this one. I was all excited, but am too leery now. I can't even find an E-HEELP website to ask questions or buy it directly from. Nothing but resellers. Maybe next time.
