Review on MarchInn 12V DC 5.0T Electric Hydraulic Floor Jack and Tire Inflator Pump with πŸ”‹ LED Flashlight - 3 in 1 Set Including Electric Impact Wrench - Car Repair Tool Kit by Darnell Evans

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Blown two (2) fuses in lift, lift and jack

Having a power jack, tire pump and impact wrench in one suitcase is a great idea. I didn't really like how the product worked. I tried this jack on a 2012 Outback. As soon as the jack started lifting the car, the fuse in the 12-volt socket blew. Frustrated, I plugged the power cord into another 12-volt outlet located on the car's console. I started the jack again and another fuse blew. Now the jack is wedged under the car. I had to use a jack to raise the car far enough to remove this electric jack. BE CAREFUL before inserting this plug into a 12 volt outlet. The specs show that this connector draws 13 amps (peak). The first fuse he blew was from a 10 amp outlet. ok my mistake For my second try, I plugged into a 20 amp outlet. This fuse is also blown. I used the supplied battery clip socket with a spare battery I had on the shelf to lower the jack so I could put it back into the plastic case. The jack fell just fine, connected directly to the battery. I didn't use the car battery to lower the jack. Since 2 fuses had already blown, I didn't want to risk damage to the electrical system. There may be something wrong with the socket I received. I contacted the seller and they issued a quick and full refund. Just a warning. Before relying on it on the road, test this jack at home to make sure it doesn't blow any fuses. Drawing 13 amps shouldn't blow a 20 amp fuse.

Pros
  • Lift, lift and jack
Cons
  • Hard to tell
