TCE Pneumatic Air Hydraulic Car Bottle Jack for Auto Repair and House Lift, 5 Ton

great price - works perfectly- wish I had purchased one of these jacks years ago - real time saver

The frame rail of my 1-ton truck is only 9-1/2" above the ground. This slips under behind front wheel and has enough lift to get the tire off the ground. For the rear, I just put it under the spring pack behind the front spring hanger. As with almost every jack I have ever used, the capacity rating is for a gorilla on the end of the handle. I'm not getting any younger. So, the 8-ton model works good for lifting about 2 tons (i.e., each corner of the truck) without having to strain much. Obviously, takes a few more strokes than a lesser-capacity jack. The laws of fluid physics apply to EVERY jack, so that is to be expected. Nice product!

Looks good and should do the job just fine. The left range in the description is wrong. The jack clearly states 16.125" on the box and is correct. Not the 16.94" that's posted.

I just turned 73 years old. My wife is 72 years old. I have used Car Jack’s all my life and my dad had the largest car dealership in Cape Cod where I used to work. I was looking forward to this bottle jack for my Tesla S. I tried this Jack twice both times the Jack failed to totally retreat back, despite releasing the turn screw and pumping. I had to get a rubber mallet and hammer the jack away. Fortunately, it went down far enough. I read the directions twice I had my wife read the directions. Going up was easy for my wife who preferred it over the scissors Jack. However, on both occasions retreating was a problem. On both occasions we were frustrated that it did not totally retreat. My wife chose the scissors because the bottle Jack failed and she did not want any more bottle jacks. Still puzzled with what we might have done wrong. Also if you turn the release screw to far, the oil pours out to easily. There is no safety or warning bump as you release the screw. My teacher wife felt the directions made no sense for lowering the jack and with my Ph.D. I was astonished with how poorly written this passed publication editing. Still disappointed.

Easy to fit under trailers. Strong enough to lift full trailer. Heavy duty

this jack is very very limited in height -- ok for a press but limits lift

It was well packaged. Being telescopic is the biggest advantage sine it lifts proportionally higher. Used it to lift the corners of an empty 40 ft sea freight container, no issues.

I used the jacks to raise my brick and cement front porch. Buried in the concrete and time will tell. Raised porch with no issue. Nice compact size.

Solid jack lifted 2000lb and stayed up. Did not drop a millimeter after 3 days of weight on it.Works flawlessly. People complain that it won’t go down all the way. That’s because there is a two stage process when lowering this jack. It stops half way you need to turn the knob to engage the second lowering stage.Very happy with this jack.

small when compacted and tall when lifted! Using to maintain my Hummer H3. Everything is good!
