winbag 15730 Air Wedge Alignment Tool, Inflatable Shim, Black

I got a small plastic block wedge to get the car door apart slightly so I could shimmy this Winbag Air Wedge down inside the top of the door. This thing pumped up effortlessly so I could separate the door from the frame slightly and slide in my Little Max Long Reach Tool, which I got on Amazon as well! These three things and your set to open locked cars! The second day after they arrived, my neighbor locked his keys in his car at Walmart... and on his birthday! He called me because I bragged about how I was never gonna have to call Pop-a-Lock ever again when I got locked out! I was just a bit timid to help at first because he had a really nice new Nissan Maxima, but it worked easily and did no damage to the car whatsoever!

I have used this tool to successfully break into several friend's vehicles when they locked their keys inside. It's a breeze to use and won't damage the vehicle. I had a police officer pull into the parking lot as I'm breaking into my coworkers car and he said, "Need some help?" We both laughed and he asked for my ID and said, "Crime isn't funny." Good times. Oh, I did not get arrested. My coworker cleared the air.

Works great for making very fine shim adjustments. I have used it to install interior doors and squaring the frame to the opening using a laser level. the one hand operation leaves my other hand free to stabilize the door or insert a shim. The air inflation bulb allows for infinite and very fine adjustment. I am surprised at how easily it can lift the entire door off the floor to level the top. I now have several different size bags for different jobs: doors, dry wall, wood working, fence gate adjustments, etc. If you DIY this is very useful.

Product made in USA. That's a deal maker right there. Used it to lift a desk corner for a test. I bought it for the use of unlocking car doors and it works well. I can insert it into a door gap, and then open it with a lock out rod. The thing works great! I am very happy. The rubber bulb pops off, but with some glue this is not a problem, definitely not a deal brreaker.

This is a handy little tool, and well worth the cost. After purchasing my first Winbag, I promptly ordered a second. I use it for it’s marketed purpose - as an inflatable shim, but I was turned on to it while searching for the tow truck equivalent for vehicle lockouts. I have not used it for that. It’s not advertised as such. Right away, I went off to level my new washer. The Winbag acted as a jack on one side while I adjusted the legs. Last week, I had to cut down or adjust two doors that began dragging on the floor. We’ve all balanced a door on the tip of our shoe or something while rehanging it. Two Winbags under the door allowed me to very easily get the door into perfect position and install the hinges. Today, I found its use for cleaning and furniture refinishing. I used a Winbag to jack up the side of a heavy antique dresser so I could get the legs off the carpet to detail clean them. Then while applying a new shellac coat to an old dining room hutch, I used a Winbag to jack up one side off the carpet to apply the finish to the very bottom. Just now, it lifted one side of my very heavy oak dining room table. This is indispensable for the DIYer/handyman/homeowner. For $15, it pays to have one or two of these in your toolbox for that time you need a second hand to lift, tilt, hold, etc. and who knows - maybe some day I’ll need it to get into a car!

Used three of these spaced out in a circle to remove a stuck washing machine agitator. Worked great! I'm sure they'll come in handy again for other jobs that come up.

As a former LEO who unlocked cars for a living it seemed like this product is as good or better for unlocking automobile doors then what I used every day along with the rod linked below. The bag is very thick and durable it shouldn't rip/crack even when its hot or cold. It almost seems as if its reinforced with internal fibers of some kind. There is nothing on this bag that will harm a vehicles exterior while in use. I have no doubt it will last me for many years to come. This is a very small cost effective way to potentially save a life during freezing winter months and extremely hot summer days where a vehicle interior can reach +200 degrees. Don't hesitate to add these to any and all vehicles you drive, or your kids drive. https://www.amazon.com/Snapnlock-Multi-Piece-ETA-Cosmetics/dp/B00BI2JQVI/ref=pd_sim_469_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00BI2JQVI&pd_rd_r=ARFRNBWY5PBBW0PZE5M7&pd_rd_w=DDgEi&pd_rd_wg=GKEd4&psc=1&refRID=ARFRNBWY5PBBW0PZE5M7

The bag works well and seems durable. I gave it 3 stars only because the one-way valve at the bottom of the pump was seized and I had to punch it loose with a pen. Once I did that, the seal around the pump to the valve bleeds air when squeezing. Superglue fixed the problem, but it shouldn't be bleeding air there and should force it all into the bag. With that all done, it works great for doing vehicle unlocks
