Bottle Jack Tutorial

Must See! Almost everyone I see is doing this wrong. Please take the time to watch to the end and learn how to use this jack effectively. I have over 5 years of experience of using these jacks on a daily basis. Was thought by a 76-year-old mobile home mover who has been in business for over 40 years.

This is probably one of the most informative and concise videos i have seen on youtube.

thank you

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

It has THREADS! 🔥I used my (same model) for a few days not even suspecting it has that feature! THANK YOU!

[@cpk2GIRL]

How often does hydraulic fluid need replenishing?

[@tradesman91]

I'm not sure, thats a great question.

[@loubonaparte5063]

You my friend, possess something called common sense... and clearly been a hard working man for a while... LOVE your tips!!!

[@tradesman91]

Thank you man.

60+ yrs dumb old lady, just came home with my 1st bottle jack (6-Ton). I watched a vid or 2 on them before coming across your's. This was most excellent!! Thank you!!

[@stacyyoust]

Don't call is dumb. I recommend the Barbie Movie for the whole family 🎉

[@SandySez]

@@stacyyoust I always call myself 'dumb old lady' lol. In reality I'm anything BUT dumb. I just like mocking the stereotype I guess, I have an odd & ironic sense of humor.

[@djseely]

Learned more in this video than in the last 10 combined. THANK YOU

[@joesephagne]

Hey dude, thanks for making this video. I just got a new bottle jack today and I had no idea how to use it. Now I feel like I got a master class. Very easy to understand, and I appreciate all the safety tips. It really shows how much experience you have with this tool.

[@tradesman91]

awesome. there more to know and I been I struggling to get part 2 out

[@JC-wc1dm]

@@tradesman91Hell Ya! Two thumbs up on this video !! I just picked up a bottle jack today for the purposes of leveling a home, so it was awesome that not only did you talk about the bottle jack but gave great advice as well . im ready for part 2, maybe you can give best practices for leveling with bottle jack.

[@LucyLusmommy]

Perfect video! Great information easy to understand without annoying background music!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@MrAnimal1971]

Thank you for making this video. There's always a right way and a wrong way to do things.

[@jrgoldbn893]

i set modular buildings for years and can confirm, well done video. i never used a cinder block however, wouldn’t trust them. jack stands (or piers as we called them in the modular trade) are also a great way to temporarily support your load when you reset jacks as well, i’d set them on a couple 2x12 pads in dirt like that tho, and keep them in place anytime you climb under. don’t ever climb under with just the jack supporting the load. good vid

[@tradesman91]

I don't trust cinder blocks as well, I forgot to mention to inspect the block for cracks and damages before using. I agree and I should have included the fact that you don't trust the jack, or anything for that matter. Along with building up a safe back up system to catch and/or support the load, just in case. I never seen it, but some these mobile home movers can share some scary stories.

[@whyherro5077]

Thank you for that block trick, I've been trying to figure out how to level my trailer in its permanent spot and this video was exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!

[@tradesman91]

Awsome!!!! get a pice of angel iron to go between jack and frame to keep the trailer frame from rolling, or jack slowly always looking at the frame for movement. sometimes it might take two jacks to keep it from rolling. Slow Slow Slow,

[@mjjacowski]

This was fantastic!!!! Thank you so much!

[@jameshanson2175]

good video. complete start to finish. just bought that exact bottle jack for my boat 2700lb to get the front up to drain it.

[@roadwarrior6555]

I just raised a corner of my house up 3/4 in. with a 20 ton bottle jack like that. Question - If you get dirt or little rocks stuck in the top where the seal is, can that damage it in some way? After using it a little rock was in there and while testing I heard a noise at the top like pressure escaping cause I think the rock was pushing the seal open. I cleaned it up and it seems fine now.

[@LotsOfPaypa]

The bottle jack that came with my truck has been stored sideways for over 15 years and it seems to work just fine…

[@gregthompson8062]

I just ordered a Zinko Zmj-5t (Ton) For my Chevy. It has a 1.5" lift which is not much but if you crip every 1.5" it may take a while but a few jack stands and lumber should do the trick. Not huge to haul in back either. What are your thoughts? Great video btw. Best on KZbin.

[@MrJOELisAWESOME]

Question? If I’m in a tight place and I can’t keep raising the bottle jack off the ground with wood, what’s the best/safest thing to put between the top of the jack and the frame. ( I’m having up a fifth wheel trailer)

[@BottleJackBuddy]

Thank you for sharing.

[@tradesman91]

Thank you for watching

[@davidterell]

My hummer h3 has 26 inch wheels, would a 10 ton jack sitting on wood and a cinder block work to jack it up?

[@teresan9837]

Would you recommend using it to open house windows? I can do it but shoulder and back not happy

[@RussellCambell]

A floor jack is just a bottle jack in a disadvantage situation

[@GodZilla-tv6gr]

I wouldn't trust that concrete block they can crumble if the load is uneven personal experience.

[@danyasimkus184]

Thank you very much! That was excellent and exactly what I needed. Cheers!

[@tradesman91]

Thank you for watching

[@Tom-em3dv]

Thanks dude it helped a lot i just got one so i can change my wheels and do a oil change ❤ thanks for the tips really helpful man ❤

[@Ancipital_]

One of mankinds greatest inventions. Thanks for your tutorial. Well done.

[@MaelFam]

Thanks for good stuffs. I utilize the jack's stick handle to push the air out instead of pressing with my hand, like kitchen dough roller.

[@gregorykinase9718]

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. This was the best 12 minutes I've spent today. I will be purchasing a bottle jack and building some bases.

[@DariusSmith-s8h]

Solid explanation thanks. None of these instructions come with the jack, and these are all essential.

[@tradesman91]

Thanks buddy.

[@DariusSmith-s8h]

@@tradesman91 Just picked up a small bottle jack at Canadian Tire on sale for $16.99 because I now understand how they work, another tool in the tool belt.

[@tradesman91]

@@DariusSmith-s8hWell spent I would say. How many tons?

[@DariusSmith-s8h]

@@tradesman91 2 tonnes, more than enough for my small car. Sale prices for better ones were still great, but wanted something with low profile like this little guy
