VEVOR Triple Airbag Car Jack: Maneuverable. Responsive. REALLY Different!

Placement and full extension of this product as shown on the VEVOR website.

Since 2016 when we started this YouTube channel, I've always had my trusty floor jack- 3 ton, double piston, padded long handle, swivel wheels, etc. It's been great, and I even have a good pocket of space to store it in my garage. However, since having kids and failing to keep the space tidy (as well as kids bikes and scooters also taking up the space over the years) this floor jack has been a bit harder to maneuver in our 1.5 car garage considering the long handle and stroke required for lifting our Escape. Recently, #VEVOR reached out and asked us to demo one of their products and I have been curious about this Triple Airbag Car Jack so they sent it to us and over the past few weeks, I've come to love this thing- even with some of its weirdness and caveats. We have summarized our takes below as well as included the demo video and review at the bottom of this post: (Note: we do make affiliate commissions on any sales through the link and it goes to support the channel for more content- use code "SAVEMORE5" for a 5% additional discount - thanks!)

Using the airbag lift on our 2013 Ford Escape

GREATEST STRENGTHS:

• Very compact compared to my existing floor jack- storage, transportation, and use is all easier in my honest opinion.

• Fast Rising triple air bag can lift the full height in seconds - you probably don't want to ACTUALLY lift as fast as it can go, but the robustness of the airbag combined with a good air supply is impressive when you see your car lift with the simple opening of the inlet air valve!

• 5.5-17.7in lift- (this will fit most everyday vehicles- if you have a sports car or a lowering kit, just double check you'll clear the 5.5in starting height. 17.7in puts the vehicle at max height for my jack stands. Pretty nice compared to the constant strokes of the conventional floor jack.

• Internal support keeps the lift rigid at the full 17.7in extension which is pretty sweet.

• Easy to maneuver- lightweight and comes with 2 handles with convenient ball valves to operate from handles

• Common hookups to standard air compressor fittings makes it integrate well with your existing compressor setup.

• Can be run off a portable 6gal pancake compressor (so long as it can reach the minimum 115PSI for lift) and can also of course last for more lifts without recharging air on a larger capacity compressor

• Really easy to see where the lifting block/ pad is relative to controlling it. When using my floor jack I often pump the handle a few times...stop...check placement...sit back up...pump a few more times... check... etc. I can gauge placement while operating the lift at the same time with this airjack and the convenience is awesome.

• All for under $100: This is good utility value for what it can do vs the entry price.
  

THINGS TO NOTE:

• Light Assembly Required: When unboxing, there is minimal assembly required, including the attaching of the handles, the valve block, and the hose connection from the valve block to the air bag assembly. Pretty easy assembly, but there are some steps to get it ready for use, including the use of plumbers tape to seal the air inlet fitting as well as the noise limiter on the air exit.

• Fabrication is a bit rough in some areas. Rough edges appear jagged, but actually aren't sharp since the paint is pretty thick and it smooths it out so it isn't a hazard, but it's not super pretty either. At the end of the day it's a floor jack though, and it is a utilitarian tool, and effective for the price point.

• The air jack is rigid at full extension, but until that internal structure is fully locked and tight, the assembly is still quite mobile and will lean and squish a bit (because air is of course compressible). This is not an issue so long as you're on a flat surface and have some wheel chocs or blocks to keep your car from rolling. Do do NOT use this on any type of sloped driveway or roadside or it will tip with the weight of the car and gravity.

• The handles are at kind of strange angles- seems like the same piece used twice, and the grips can slide off sometimes. I am considering roughing up the painted surface underneath to help add some friction to keep the grips in place more easily.
