Powerbuilt All in one Jack Stands with 3 ton Bottle jack

[@wilborth5th]

Great review simple honest, perfect, thanks

[@ChadMyers73]

Willy Will Your welcome man! Thanks for watching!

[@StilettoSniper]

The 6000 lb. labelled version of this product is actually an improved version of the one reviewed here. Yes, they both are rated to the same weight capacity (3 tons = 6000 lbs.), but the 6000 lb. unit has more adjustment holes and also has a flat, cast iron area above the ram that is obviously more reinforced. I have two of the 6000 lb. units and they are working very well for me so far, no complaints. The little ball in the pin has not given me any problem, likely they have sourced the pin from someone else now. If anyone decides to purchase this product, make sure you get the grey 6000 lb. units with the five adjustment holes, not the black one shown here with the three adjustment holes. Here's a tip: a little silicon grease on the ratchet teeth and the locking safety catch goes a long way to ensure that the safety catch engages on each ratchet tooth automatically as the jack is raised. Make sure the safety catch is completely engaged so that the full weight of the car is on the jack stand and not on the hydraulic jack before you put any body parts under the car.

[@ChadMyers73]

Great addition to the comment section thank you very much. Thanks for watching!

[@rgh5124]

I would say as standard practice, that you should relieve the pressure from the jack to ensure that everything is engaged correctly before putting yourself under the car - with ANY type of jack.

[@ChadMyers73]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

[@ls1powered240sx]

The 6000 pound one seems to retail for $20 more than the 3 ton on the power built website

[@OU812NVME]

@@rgh5124 laugh out loud you said make sure the jack stands or correct before you go underneath the vehicle so you're one of those that go underneath the vehicle with Jack Stands good luck you should use railroad ties at four corners on the side of the tires you guys that use jack stands are killing me support that 2-ton three ton vehicle jack stands make me laugh

[@VanaConn]

this type of stand is optimum for vehicles where the lifting point is where the jackstand should go or the jack is partially in the way of where you want to put the stand .

[@ChadMyers73]

I have used it a few times but not for anything to heavy

[@VanaConn]

I mostly work on vw vanagons but I realized later you still need to jack up the van to get it on the stand. The jack gets in the way . Wasn't thinking. I also work on my 33kLB 1977 MCI bus conversion but that's a different animal.@@ChadMyers73

[@TheBamayaker]

I believe the main intended use for this is to change a flat, not replace a normal jack stand. It sure looks safer than a wobbly scissor jack that’s used for most cars and tracks

[@ChadMyers73]

I’ve used it a few times on my trailer

[@arothko8939]

I used mine to take the rear tires off my f150. Worked flawlessly. Big difference between 3 and 6 tons. Not fair to compare the two.

[@ChadMyers73]

I do still use mine as I have found different ways to use it

[@craigwilkin7286]

Perhaps not all, but many advertised load ratings of jack stands are per pair. So, be sure to check, and if so, divide by 2 to determine rating of each stand.

[@ChadMyers73]

Great point thanks for sharing

[@mortneff4674]

My sons friend messed up and took the oil return screw all the way out and shot the oil return bearing off to where ever, can you tell me what size bearing ball it is please???

[@chrismattox3374]

Did you ever figure this out mine shot out but I still have it do I just put it back in?

[@mortneff4674]

@@chrismattox3374 No I never got an answer back, If you habve it what size ball bearing is it and does iot have a spring? Yep I would put it back in if the screw isn;t broke, if the part did break then the Company might replace the Jack!

[@proletariatpidgeon]

Just bought mine, tested it on my Tahoe just to see how it does, and my only issue with it is that with a jack and jack stand, you lower the jack so it sits on the stand, and then you raise it back up to get it off the stand before setting tires back on the ground. With this all in one, it's great, but when you get the tires down on the ground, the weight of the vehicle isn't going to lower the jack down enough to actually pull it out so you have to push/pull it down the rest of the way. Not a big deal, but I can see it being an issue for people if they place and lift in a spot that's hard for them to get back down.

[@ChadMyers73]

Yeah I’m not impressed with really any part of it. Thanks for watching!

[@proletariatpidgeon]

@@ChadMyers73 thanks for the video!

[@dellhart7076]

Good review. Thanks. What's the max lifted height please?

[@ChadMyers73]

Thanks for watching! If I remember correctly 21ish inches.

[@CJB46290]

Never seen one of these till recently. Found your video while looking into it....Looks like its been 4 years since you've owned it. She still holding or it hit the curb?

[@ChadMyers73]

I’m still using it but only for small jobs like.

[@primate4]

Will the jack fit under the vehicle when you have a flat or is it too tall?

[@ChadMyers73]

To tall

[@cenccenc946]

I have been debating making a set of these, out of a set of jack stands I have. I have some specific mods I want. Top of the list is taller. I have a very lifted truck. second, more stability with a bigger base plate. probably a whole lot more reinforcement, plus a stronger jack. still looking for other ideas.

[@ChadMyers73]

Yes I think they can be built at home better than what’s sold. Lol

[@MrDaleStroud]

These are great for limited workspace where a floor jack isn’t practical. They’re too tall for the minivan so I just made a pair of low profile ramps out of some scrap lumber. I back the van up on the ramps and then use these at the jack points. Can’t complain, they work great.

[@ChadMyers73]

I’ve used mine a few times.

[@whereistruefreedom]

The problem is that this thing is so high the way it is without jacking it up, I couldn't use it because my toyota camry 2020 is very low

[@ChadMyers73]

Very true you can’t use it on small cars at all

[@anonymousperson4363]

Have you tried using it with a front flat tire? It your wheel is similar to mine, you will find it didn't fit under the frame.

[@ChadMyers73]

No I have not tried that. I’ve only used it a few times. Thanks for watching!

[@bonek350]

It's probably good for the truck tool box for emergencies.

[@ChadMyers73]

In a pinch.

[@Halffast719]

I’ve been looking at those too. Like you I’m kinda leery about them too. But definitely love the idea. Great video 🤘🏼

[@ChadMyers73]

Thanks!

[@dajur1]

It looks like they listened to your review, as the newer version pretty much fixed everything you had a problem with.

[@ChadMyers73]

Really I’ll have to check it out

[@dubgli]

so the smaller unit is 2 tons. so 4 of these at each corner of the car is 8 tons total. i can't see needing anything beyond a 2 ton at each corner other than more height.

[@ChadMyers73]

dubgli And a better quality just not real impressed. Thanks for watching!

[@frankzito1660]

If you’re changing a tire on your Tahoe for example, the unijack is great. Not much to complain about really. The lock works great as does the pin.

[@ChadMyers73]

Thanks for watching!

[@frankzito1660]

@@ChadMyers73 Thanks for your video. All your videos are really good. Your attention to detail is always helpful.

[@ChadMyers73]

Thanks man!

[@BurbSK-bi2wh]

You should try 6000lb version , it appears to be built more massively . I don't have one personally but just watched a review on 6000lb and it looks impressive . Seems like on 3 ton version little lip that hangs over the jack ram is too fragile .

[@ChadMyers73]

Thank you I’ll check them out. Thanks for watching!

[@ColdSun87]

The 3 ton is the 6000lb jack....😂

[@ericsonflores7798]

Finally I find a video showing how to lower it down 😂😂😂 thank you! Very good explanation

[@ChadMyers73]

Thanks for watching!

[@ProjectAnubisUSA]

It looks to be too tall for a car, trucks only?

[@ChadMyers73]

Yes I would say so unless your using them for jack stands and want to go up more you don't have to put the jack back under the car and reajust the the stands. Thanks for watching!

[@howtodoitdude1662]

Get the 2 ton version (4000 lbs). 8- 18”

[@blakehendrix8697]

I got one a while back and just now opened it… the handle has no resistance on it and pumping it doesn’t raise the jack. The plug seems fine so dunno what’s wrong with it

[@ChadMyers73]

I still have only used mine once

[@jkbfamily8578]

Thank you

Welcome thanks for watching

[@paulrollinsjr.1845]

Hey buddy I really appreciate your review I had 1 for a year and it did good for me on my 05 2500 Cummins 4.5 in on 35's it was convenient with the height adjustment and obviously never lifting anything higher than you had to I was okay with it I only had it for about a year and some jackass stole it out of the back of my pickup but it works good but I don't know as much knowledge as you do and I appreciate your opinion cuz I was looking to get another one and I still May thank you

[@ChadMyers73]

Cummins Cowboy Thanks for watching! I’m trying to keep a open mind. You can use the link in the description if you want to pick up another one.

[@joebagofdoe4762]

I got 2 of the 2ton /4000lb combo . And I also have mixed emotions on them. I think the company should have made them a little thicker than 1/8th And the 4000 lb ones have a very small jack stand . They are smaller in height compared to the 3 ton ones you have But height is not what the issue is because they are versatile in height . The issue is that they should have made a stockier design that would suit the name POWERbuilt! More bulk would have been more mentally reassuring when your body is under the car, especially when they are asking so much money for them.. The funny part is the 2 ton I have dont fit under a small car at all . They fit under my 15 CRV with 2 inches of clearance aswell But the CRV really towers over the 2tons to the point it looks dangerous LMAO

[@ChadMyers73]

Exactly! Thanks for watching!

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

How about save jobs and do store wish list

[@ChadMyers73]

Ok

[@JosH-lu1dy]

The grim truth is, floor jacks have wheels for a reason - so they can move a little as the vehicle is jacked up. When you jack up a vehicle the center of lift moves slightly. Jack stands are for resting on, not lifting. It would be easy to have these resting in a slightly unstable position after jacking up, but wouldn't be as bad as a scissor jack.

[@ChadMyers73]

Very true thanks for watching!

[@dajur1]

The wheels of a floor jack are there because the jack raises in an arc motion, so the jack needs to move to accomodate. Bottle jacks lift straight up, so they don't need to move at all. The arc of the car lifting is too small to really make a difference in the center of gravity of a bottle jack.

[@DelanteWorthy]

I get it but I'd trust this Jack before a scissor Jack anyday...

[@stephenhagen234]

Wheelbase and lifting height affect the alignment of how much the vehicle moves. My Jeep Wrangler JK 2door has a lot of geometry change when I lift it, front or rear.

[@moez1774]

Thank you for the detailed demonstration

This went from $69 to $120 in only 2 month from OCT 2021 to DEC 2021. Then during Black Friday, they offered 20% off on Amazon and other sites, but still at $100 by showing a crossed off price of $130. Some stupid marketing tactics.

[@ChadMyers73]

Welcome thanks for watching!

[@danray9744]

unless you have a jacked up high 4x4 You still have to use a floor jack to jack the vehicle up to get the jack stand under it so whats really good about having a jack on the stand if it want fit under the vehicle without having to use a Floor Jack !!

[@MartyrMachine]

This thing was the worst ever. It came out the box, wouldn't lift my truck (5400 pounds) thought maybe it had air in it so I bled it. Drained everything out. Refilled it with hydraulic fluid. Got all the air out, made sure everything was ok and it still wouldn't lift.

[@ChadMyers73]

Yeah I wasn’t that impressed either. Thanks for watching!

[@starguard4122]

I just bought one of these off eBay

[@ChadMyers73]

Wish you the best it’s not a bad product just a little sketchy.

[@Agent77X]

What type review is this? No demo it working on vehicle, just cause doubt about the bottle jack/stand!

[@ChadMyers73]

The kind where I'm not sure if I want to use it. Thanks for watching!

[@youtubecomment3096]

I do not see any problem… u are comparing apples with pies ☺️ it is built to last and will not brake…

[@ChadMyers73]

I use it for stabilizing and small things like a transmission, etc. but I have never used it to actually hold a vehicle up

I’ll stick to good old jack stands

Yeah I haven't even used it yet. Thanks for watching!

[@scottnichols5402]

A bottle jack and a jack stand put together I wood never trust that I wood just stick to normal jack stands like everyone else uses I have used jack stands for many years and never had a problem with jack stands if I were you I wood just stick to jack stands because jack stands are more safer

[@ChadMyers73]

Yep it just sit there in the corner. I don't use it. Thanks for watching!

[@sebastiantevel898]

Honestly a review without any real lifting and seeing the tool in operation.... I do not know about that. I get that you want to keep it pristine, so you can return it and get a refund.
