Review on OTC Stinger Ton Bottle Jack Exterior Accessories by Steven Harper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice and compact design for a 30 ton bottle jack.

The jack suits my application very well. Haven't fully used it yet. I installed it on a custom built factory press frame. I liked everything about the jack except the T-handle on the outlet valve. I feel like it's too small and not very easy to rotate with my fingers. I would say it should at least be with a pivoting extension handle. But nothing like that came. So I made my own T-handle extension as you can see in the photos. Works great now!. All it included was an owner's manual, spare seal repair kit, and 3 pump extension handles. I was lucky enough to get the jack undamaged. Anyone who has ever packed and delivered has simply tossed some popcorn into a single-ply box along with a very heavy jack. On the way, the jack just flew into the big box. When I received the package, the box was completely torn. I feel like the jack should have been in its own strong box and in the larger outer box. Overall I'm happy with the socket. Thank you Revin!

Pros
  • Linear design (pump mechanism centered on the cylinder) makes the jack easier to handle and maneuver with the handle compared to cranked designs
Cons
  • High price
