BIG RED T82012 Torin Hydraulic Trolley Service/Floor Jack with Blow Mold Carrying Storage Case, 2 Ton (4,000 lb) Capacity, Red

I purchased this jack to be able to perform routine maintenance on my car, in my apartment building's parking garage. I made sure to bleed the jack and purge the hydraulic system of air before first use. There are instructions in the package as well as several YouTube guides on how to do this.I was able to lift my BMW E46 which weighs around 1,700kgs. Therefore this jack is more than suffice at raising one corner at a time. However, I did not feel safe raising the car from the engine jacking point raising 2 wheels. It managed the task but I did not feel comfortable doing so. Raising one wheel at a time using the car's jacking points/chassis rail felt safer for me.Of course, I used 2 x 2 ton jack stands - also made by Big Red - to support the car using the jacking points. I then used this trolley jack to provide secondary support on the jacking point under the front subframe just as a safety measure. I also placed wood blocks (around 20cm in height) under the front wheels as a third safety measure.I have used this jack about 9-10 times over the past month for various maintenance tasks, and it has held up extremely well. It's compact size means I can keep it in the boot without sacrificing too much trunk space. If you intend to lift both wheels (either front or rear) at the same time, or have a heavier car i suggest opting for a full size 3 ton shop jack instead, preferably low profile. These are significantly more expensive however. This jack not only has weight restrictions but also will not lift your car high enough for any job besides tire changes. My BMW E46 sits quite low to the ground and i actually had to use the factory scissor jack to raise it a bit in order to be able to slip this under the jacking point/chassis rail.

Takes some time to set up. You have to reverse the release screw one turn. Then pump 6 to 6 times.the jack and thrn releass the air. Then close the release screw back to off. It works perfectly then. Comes with a great plastic case. This is absolutely great to use compared to a scissor jack!

Absolutely very good product

My car is lifted 2 inch and its not useful. Very difficult to use.

It was MUCH smaller than I imagined, therefore does not jack up high enough! I had to improvise by adding 3 2x4's underneath the jack in order to get it at the proper height!

It was good. Hopefully we dont need to use it for emergency

Great little lift. Helped me change my tires. But the valve is tricky to use. And you will need some pliers to open and close so the air doesnt escape easily. Good concept and cheap but the valve needs a better system.

حجم صغير جدا

Afortunadamente no lo he usado todavía, se ve bueno, hay que purgarlo antes de usar, ahí vienen las instrucciones en español. Viene con su estuche, se me hizo curioso que en la descripción acá en Amazon dice que es de 1.5 toneladas, pero en las fotos y en la vida real es de 2 toneladas así que genial.
