Selson air jack looked like I might use it often. Turns out use it only for oil changes on my Corvette on lift, since rear has to lifted up to drain all oil out. $500 wasted for neat product :scratch: http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/selsonup.jpg http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/selsonlifting.jpg

Jetski.... that is interesting... what's the details and post up some more pics!!! I bet it can hold a crap load of weight and it is probably way lighter than a huge arse hydro jack... More details please!

I bet it can hold a crap load of weight and it is probably way lighter than a huge arse hydro jack... More details please! Jack made in Australia compact about 30 LBS and well built. Rated for 4500 pounds, my model has low height of about 4 inchs without puck will lift to 19 inchs. Selson makes other models with more height and weight ratings used for big truck lifting. http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/selsondown.jpg http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/selsonclearance.jpg

You'd have to do a lot of oil changes to get what you paid for it to make it worth it. :lol:

I don't think any tool I've ever bought was a waste of money, I needed it at the time or else I wouldn't have bought it

i dont doubt that the air bags are prolly a really good and reliable but personally i wouldent trust air pressure. i only get uner a car if there is somethign solid under it like ramps or a hydrolic lift

Air bags are used to raise and lower metal support bar in center of jack.

Besides... you are trusting fluid in a hydrolic jack!! I don't think so...that's why we use jack stands!!
