I don't think mine is a vevor but I've had one like it for a couple of years. It's neat for smaller vehicles but doesn't have enough throw for a lifted truck and don't even think about lifting a diesel with it or it'll pop the blowout valve. I just don't trust it like I do a good hydraulic jack so it mostly sits in the corner collecting dust.

Interesting. Reading their site now, but some things don't seem to add up. Like 3 tons = 6,600 pounds??

And I wouldn't be using this on the Suburban or anything. I have lifts for that. This is a pretty compact looking thing that will fit under lower cars like the GTO and Cadillac in tight spots in the garage.

It is pretty handy if you wanna pull a wheel quick but it's more of a novelty thing as far as I'm concerned. Basically an air bag off a semi truck with a handle

It might be an imperial ton, so this must be from jolly ole England...

I really like the idea. Only downsides in my opinion are the minimum height of 6.3” (won’t work anything lowered) and dragging an air hose around with it which can be cumbersome.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I'm reading some of the reviews. I ALWAYS read the negative ones TBH. Seems to be a lot of quality issues, wobbliness, and air fitting issues, and when you release pressure, it doesn't come down smoothly and in some cases, will come down abruptly.

Concept seems like a good idea, execution, not so much.

 

[sktchy]

Now that you say that mine would kink sideways and not wanna come down right and when it did it would just drop. I had to put a bigger pop off in it because it kept blowing out and I think I had to change the ball valve in the feed side of it as well

Pro Eagle makes a co2 jack, but it’s more geared towards 4x4/sxs due to the height, as mentioned above too.

• the long ton, which is 2,240 pounds
• the short ton, which is 2,000 pounds
• the tonne, also called metric ton, which is 1,000 kilograms (2204.6lbs)

I have a "long one" too!

Oh wait, long TON!

Sorry...

Looks pretty neat I could get a lot of use out of something like that. Please share what you end up doing cmnt.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I may buy it for myself for Christmas for shits and giggles.

Now my FB is showing an ad for this haha.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

So, I saw a neighbor doing a brake job in his driveway with one of these on Saturday. Unfortunately, I had to be somewhere so I couldn't stop to chat, but it looked like it was working and even in his driveway with a slight incline, it didn't seem to "lean", so I might be picking one of these up at some point just to have.

Interesting seems like it'd be fine for something you just want to throw a couple jack stands under real quick.

 

[sktchy]

Mines still in the corner collecting dust

Does it have any sort of locking (insert pin) mechanism?

Does your normal 3 ton jack? And he posted the link, click it: https://www.vevor.com/floor-jacks-c...g-jack-stands-adjustable-3-ton-p_010353078759

Right, instead of hauling out the bigger equipment, setting things up, etc if you're just getting under to do something quick especially on lower cars like the G8, Caddy or GTO.

One of the reasons I had to specifically get the Daytona long reach, low profile jack was for the Cadillac. It sits low, then the actual subframe mount where you lift it, is quite a ways inboard. So it's a PITA to get it all lined up. This seems like an even easier alternative.

Nope

5.5" min height, I'll have to measure some stuff in the garage to see if that clears without me using a second jack.
