Review on πŸ”§ W1611 Trolley Jack with Case - 2.25 Ton (4,500 lbs.) Capacity, Enhanced Performance Tool by Kadarius Gentry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great emergency hydraulic jack!

I bought this hydraulic jack as an emergency jack because one day (the tires were still on when I prepared the chopping stands) my car fell off the useless scissor jack that came with the car is. and I want a case to keep the jack in the car. The 2.25 ton Performance Tool Jack is stronger and stronger than scissor jacks, especially in emergency situations where the ground may not be perfectly level. My observations so far are that while the overall jack looks solid, it does have a few downsides. I'm not keen on pumping the jack a dozen times or more to get it to the right height, but that can be overlooked with an emergency jack. The handle does not fit snugly on the jack which causes a lot of play and is probably why it takes so many pumps to raise the jack. I'm sure I can add a piece of metal tubing or something to the end of the handle to thicken it and reduce play when inflated. The jack is a solid four for me because it does what it's supposed to do, but it's clear the manufacturer made a few trade-offs. My suitcase arrived in good condition unlike some other buyers. Pros: - Has a carrying case which is great for storing the jack in the car in an emergency - It's a good weight and overall feels solid and powerful - It has a handle (you'll need to install it). It has more power and height than many similar jacks in its class (which is the main reason I bought it). It takes a lot of pumping to get the jack, but that's something to expect in this class and price range. Some people have complained about broken cases - mine arrived safely. When you receive this jack, be sure to follow the instructions before using it for the first time. You must pump the jack 6 times with the valve open to evenly distribute the liquid to the internal components. The video describing the jack has a brief description of this procedure. This takes less than a minute.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
