The Torque Test Channel did a video on egg beater impacts. They're an interesting tool.

[@jacksmith2315]

You may think these impacts are good, but they are shit. Good for ppl that get their tires rotated often and torqued to spec. But very few ppl torque to spec these days. Every just blasts them on w far more powerful impacts. I have a decent impact rated for 550 ft lbs and it often struggles, because ppl just blast them on w more powerful impacts. Still better off cracking them free by hand before lifting the car, then use these to finish removing. And absolutely tighten with a torque wrench or breaker bar. Most impact are more powerful in reverse, so these are probably very low powered in forward and can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to tighten wheels. Always check w a torque wrench or breaker bar after

[@gregkimura5906]

I thought the tools looked very cheap at first. Then the testing started and I couldn't believe how well the jacks performed. Next the impact wrench test. I didn't think any would work, but they did, all the way to 250 lf-ft of torque. Finally, the failure test was very impressive. These are definitely good tools to have in case of an emergency. And even if your spare tire has lost air, there's a compressor to pump it back up. Very nice!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@rubiconnn]

idk, I don't think I would ever give up the reliability of a manual bottle jack for the convenience of not having to pump the handle a few times.

[@AndrewSmith-km6zb]

The blow up jack works really well in the sand. That's about the only thing they are good for. We have them for our hiluxs in case we bury them. Then you can push sand under the tires. Awesome video man!! You do an awesome job.

Yeah, they are really designed for helping you off road since they have great surface area, and you can push the vehicle onto better terrain.

Yep they spin up for a second before delivering the impact. Not very many impacts per second but it only needs to loosen.

[@Grunchy005]

Torque Test channel tried them out and was actually loosening a bolt at 800 ft-lbs. The rinky-dink eggbeater thing was smoking after 60 seconds but had already taken it down to 750 ft-lbs. If you gave it time to cool down, I think it would actually be able to do it!

[@jacksmith2315]

What most ppl dont realize, most ppl use far more powerful guns to install wheels. Very fee ppl torque to spec. These things will not cut it unless the person gets their wheels rotated often and torqued to spec. My impact rated for 550 ft lbs struggles frequently, because so many ppl just blast them on w more powerful guns. Also, most impacts arent as powerful in forward, so these can cause serious problems for ppl trusting them to install wheels. Better off cracking them free w a breaker bar before lifting the vehicle, then can use these to finish removing them. And always check they are tight enough with a torque wrench or breaker bar. You life, and other ppl on the roads life is not worth being trusted byba cheap tool like these.

[@gregparrott]

Timely topic! I've been considering lift alternatives for use on full size pickups - both on and off road. #1) Hydraulic floor jacks are an old standard. But 3 ton capacity units such as Harbor Freight's (HF) 'Daytona Super Duty' weigh over 110 pounds. That's an awkward amount to wrestle. Also, floor jacks often bend if the surface isn't both hard and flat (e.g. uneven, off camber dirt surface). Also, seal failures are a risk that can abruptly 'pop up', rendering them useless. #2) Scissor jacks are much lighter, simpler (no risk of a fluid seal failure). The E-help looks quite promising (may get one). Ideally, I'd like to find one rated for 3+ tons that also has a more robust frame than E-Help's, one that is less prone to bend on either irregular surfaces or if jack alignment is not optimally maintained. (Note: HF 2 ton units have terrible, gall prone bushings in the Acme screw mechanism, compromising rated load capability. Even greasing them before first use does not resolve the issue) #3) The double ram bottle jack is a third candidate. However, the concern again is unpredictable seal failures, especially if it's stored in a hot, sun soaked vehicle, potentially for years before a need arises. #4) In terms of lifting capacity, by my metrics, all the electro hydraulic lifts FAILED. None reached 6000 lbs, let alone had any safety margin above that. AND, they have fluids, with potential risk of seal failures.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@gregparrott]

@@ProjectFarm I placed an order for the electric scissors jack. The product's shape, even its base, is identical to the one you tested. However, the brand is listed as 'Reliancer' instead of 'E-Heelp'. Both a 3 and 5 ton model are offered. The 3 ton's material is listed as alloy steel, while the 5 ton's material is (surprisingly) listed as aluminum (might be a spec. error). I ordered the 5 ton, hopefully for the extra margin it offers. It also claims an inch higher lift while maintaining the same minimum height as the 3 ton. This unit costs $100 and is is not kitted with an impact wrench, sockets, or a carry case.

[@sonictech1000]

​@@gregparrottAny chance you can update with your first impressions when it arrives? I'm also looking for a bottle jack alternative for my truck.

[@gregparrott]

@@sonictech1000 Yes, I will do that. My first expectation is that the heavier rated unit I ordered will NOT be made of aluminum (as was advertised). If it were , its photo should have revealed it to have different proportions than those on the model tested here (but it did not). One specific testI will be its ability to resist bending , as a lot of scissor jacks are a bit spindly. My baseline is to lift the front suspension on one side of a Ford one ton (single rear wheel), 4 whl drive, Diesel. These trucks weigh 8000 pounds, with probably close to 60% of the weight on the front.

[@PNWLiving1725]

@ranger178 I notice the way it was jacked in this video when it twisted, was placed in a perpendicular way. When jacking up a car...you should have it angled with the way the car is facing. It should not twist, it should slide/move along the jack wheels.

WoW! What a time to be living in! In the early 80's, my brother sent me to deliver an overweight order to someone outside the town. I lost two tires in that trip and had to do all the labor of changing the flat tires on site; of course no portable electric jacks and wrenches existed then. Lastly, the load slipped out of the truck bed! I had to reload everything on the side of the dirt road. My two sons now don't know how to drive a manual let alone bothering themselves with changing tires!

Having had to change my SUV tire with the dinky furnished scissor jack and a standard socket tool and the flat tire on a lady friends car, with the stock car tools, At 73 years old, I quickly realized I was not the man of my memory! Ha ha. In fact the SUV flat tire was so heavy I could not lift it to put it in the SUV after all the work to take it off. So I bought and carry with me an electric jack similar in appearance to the red one in your video and it came with a similar looking electric nut remover, but no inflator…cost about $60. Great peace of mind, and now I have confidence I can get the job done in a reasonable length of time!

I’m only posting this here because I couldn’t find a place to post on a test you did in 2019 on diesel fuel supplements. As a person who has owned and driven diesel vehicles all my life starting at 1972 when I purchased my first Mercedes-Benz 220 diesel for $8000 new. Back then it was a new experience in the severe cold weather at Montreal, Canada and Burlington Vermont. I soon learned the only way to keep it going at 25 below zero with a 40 miles an hour wind chill was to use half diesel with the kerosene being added first because that is lighter than the diesel or else it will stay on top and you could still freeze up your fuel lines. This always worked fine for me and still does. I think you should do a retest this time if possible use a 40 gallon fuel tank @ 25 below zero temperature and a fan blowing on the plastic 40 gallon fuel tank to simulate a 50 mph wind blowing on it and see what type of results you get using the exact measurement that the container says to add to the fuel. I tried additives years back they never seem to work for me in those extreme conditions, but 50-50, kerosene diesel diesel fuel did. My 1986 Ford diesel probably had the best set up with duel, 20 gallon fuel tanks that you could control by a switch on the dash I kept straight kerosene in 1 and diesel in the other. When temperatures got extreme at night I could just throw the switch and keep on driving a real lifesaver in those conditions at that time before the cell phones GPS and all the other goodies people have today.

I recently had to change a tire on our new car with a scissor jack and while it was not terrible, it seems to have some hotspots that make it tricky to use with no weight. That wasn't as bad but the tire compressor I had took some 10-15mins to fill the tire up to to 35psi, and was looking for an impact wrench/jack adapter for the jack AND a better compressor and was seeing some Milwaukee brand tools which I'm sure will be great but are really out of my budget. This video is a LIFESAVER. Frankly I'd buy the big red if my primary need wasn't the air compressor. I'll be buying one of these shortly. I have a collapsible breaker bar so the impact wrenches aren't a must for me, and it already performed great on overtightened nuts. And also to Mr. Project Farm also thanks for the tire repair kit video. If anyone is already buying one of these jacks, spend a bit of extra money and buy one of those kits as well, even the basic tire repair kits can work wonders and make a puncture a non issue and with these lifts/inflators you can completely lift the car and repair the tire in some 30 mins.

That air bag exhaust lift looks like something out of a cartoon. I researched Amazon comments on some of the 12V jacks. Some of the comments said that the jack would go up and not come down. That would put you into quite a predicament if you had a flat on the highway. You'd be better off using the crappy jack that comes with the car. I bought a scissors jack and a socket adapter to raise the car in no time using a cordless impact. I greased the threads on the long bolt to make it more efficient.

Holy perfect timing. I just broke a stabilizer jack on my 5th wheel. This might work as a temporary fix.

Several great options for the 5th wheel. Thank you

Hey Todd! Excellent as always. I’d love to see a portable battery pack throw down! Something like Anker, vs Milwaukee adapters vs Jackery vs a marine battery with an inverter. Thanks as always, Todd!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@moviefreak30728]

You have more good info than the others. Although I sometimes have to stop and rewind to absorb all the info because you talk so fast. But I found a solution. On settings I turn the speed down too .075x slower. Finally I can take in all the info without rewinding. Keep up the great work. You are the best info on products tested on KZbin. 😀

[@lynskyrd]

of course- Todd sounds stoned but- yes, you can get through without having to stop and rewind.

[@bigrocc3925]

I carry 3 separate tools, a 2 ton jack similar to the one you tested, a dewalt 60v portable compressor and hose, and a dewalt impact gun. these tools take up a large amount of cargo space in my pick up. I would definitely consider one of these all in one kits. preferably the abn

*Very useful and cool video as usual.* I can't believe we're just *finally* seeing home car lifts that use a massive pair of motorized scissor jacks because I thought of that 20 years ago! I could never understand how nobody thought of it decades ago because by now, the things would be a few hundred dollars and we could all afford one. I have worked on cars since I was 15 years old which is 30 years. *What I would have given and would still give for a car lift.*

Excellent testing as always, and surprising results from the electric bottle jacks! The biggest surprise was those impact wrenches, would never have expected them to perform so well! Unrelated, have you considered doing a test on various cordless (or corded!) jigsaws?

Love the content I recently bought a m18-2850 impact driver non fuel it's actually stronger than the fuel it took off a 200 ft lbs axle nut the fuel would t take off my lug nuts lol would love to see u review it with a xc5 battery vs a Cp 2.0 that comes with it thx

Great impact driver and thanks for the video idea!

I agree, these tacky plastic boxes performed better than what I would have reckon just looking at them, both in lifting ablelities and also locknutt potency. Was not even familiar that such a "carjack of all trades" existed. I really like your testing approaches, very thorough and gives me the exact answers Im wondering about, though you could have tested that inflatable exhaust-bag for its breaking level... you owe me a thunder-kapow.

[@ProjectFarm]

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great Job Sir. I am actually impressed... I've seen those things, but I assumed they were a joke.... Busting off lug nuts at 250 ft lbs??? Uhhh, okay... Even if it's slow, it's not a joke....

A suggestion for your performance graphs Add a second bar on top of the original to show it's rating For example, the blue bar shows it's performance, then have a red section extending past that to show its rating so we can see how each item performs relative to each other, and their own rating without making it complicated If something exceeds it's rating, draw a red line on the performance graph to show what it was rated for Just an idea

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the idea.

[@vinnylewis4568]

This comparison was soooooooo directed at me!!! I have an electric jack for a few years and its basically the same as the ABN, TYAYT and Standtall. The impact wrench for mine broke after a few uses when the hammer mechanism snapped. I wonder if these will too, especially the harder hitting ones. The air pressure gauge on mine was so badly off that at 20 PSI it still read 0.

Here's what I came up with for my roadside kit, and I've tested it multiple times: Makita XWT11SR1 18V Impact Wrench (210 Ft/lbs on the motor, 295Ft/lbs max for removing lug nuts. Tekton 1/2in. Drive Thin Wall Flip Impact Socket Set (Mine was Husky but this is about the same.) Scissor jack that came with the car. So here's how it works: I pull out the impact wrench and the scissor jack, then I pick out the socket that fits around the eye-hole for the jack's crank handle. I center the jack where it needs to be and use the impact wrench. Your tire will be off the ground in under 5 seconds. As long as the wheel spins freely the jack is high enough. Impact wrenches do not require leverage to remove a lug nut so you don't need to pre-loosen them. Do your tire swap and get the lugs back on. START THEM ALL BY HAND--an impact wrench doesn't care if you cross-thread a lug nut, but the next guy to to work on that tire sure will. Once the lugs are as tight as you can manage with the impact wrench, lower the jack all the way down and finish tightening every lug by hand. Your car's tire iron and a little elbow grease will work just fine, but get a torque wrench if you just HAVE to be that guy. I went with separate devices for car boost pack and air pump because I wanted something that would work on cars AND trucks (in other words, beefier than a home gamer's all-in-1 gadget). No complaints whatsoever with my setup, and I can get the tire swapped out NASCAR fast...Ish. :)

-For 19 years I drove a Porsche 928 as a daily driver, from when it was 14 years old until it was 33. I bought the space saver spare tire and the jack and the compressor online, since those were long gone. The jack was an "L" jack that folded upon itself and due to Duralumin construction weighed about 4 pounds and fit in a Porsche felt bag. I used it occasionally to lift the car so I could slide my larger floor jacks underneath. It was totally manual and totally cool and I thought about keeping it when I traded the 928 in 2018, but I let the next person have it. Four pounds could easily lift 3300 pounds....

Electric Car Jack? That's news to me. I'm looking forward to the winner. With these e-jacks running from a 12v cigarette lighter socket, they must draw 15 Amps or less to prevent blowing the most commonly used fuse. ~$100 ain't bad, if the E-HEELP holds up to your rigorous testing. Its base could be more study, looking at it with unit turned sideways. It could have extended more from the non-motor side like the motor side does. I love how Cousin Eddie got all dressed up so classy for the job. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 He's ready to tackle any job, as long as he doesn't stump a toe or skin a knee. He's a flasher in the making. I really didn't think the impact wrenches would work, but they're pretty impressive for 12V devices. Even the ones that take longer, it's amazing that they work, even on 250 ft-lbs. The ABN is slower than the E-HEELP at getting the tire off the ground, and it lost balance while lifting the Farmabego, tilting away from the motor end, which could be disastrous and even deadly. Its impact is 1/2 second faster than the E-HEELP, but that's not a dealbreaker for me and we shouldn't be dealing with lug nuts tightened to 250 ft-lbs anyway, though the E-HEELP passed that test with flying colors. The E-HEELP lifted 7030 lbs while rated at 3 tons (6613.87 lbs) the ABN gave up at only 3398 lbs while rated at 5 tons (10,000.lbs). How sad. The E-HEELP withstood 8000 lbs before being destroyed, even though it twisted and I would never subject it to that. I have an expensive metal cased 12V portable air compressor, VIAIR Model 84P, so I don't need one in an e-jack kit, so the E-HEELP will be the one for me. It won't fit under the spare tire donut like the one supplied does, but that's OK with me, too. Man, did it hold up! However, the price is $140 now, not $100, and after reading the Amazon reviews, I am conflicted about even trying one. Many say the jack didn't work on the third attempt to use it, which made it unreturnable being too late, and many say that all the impact wrench does is blow fuses and some say the jack does, too. I know you got a good one, but reviewers also say they got used units, kits with missing components, and product that didn't work out of the box. Many found these issues after trying the jack and wrench months later, which also made the kit unreturnable. I would have to test the jack and wrench for every function immediately and, after having done so, the jack or wrench may never work again, once you finally need. I'm sorry, Todd, but I'm going to have to pass on this one. I was all excited, but am too leery now. I can't even find an E-HEELP website to ask questions or buy it directly from. Nothing but resellers. Maybe next time.

Good review, as always. I found a scissor jack with 3/4” hex head alongside a road and I lift/ lower it with an impact driver. Darned useful all around our little “gentleman’s farm”. Supplements a 3-ton floor jack, 8-ton bottle jack, and a farm jack.

I honestly didn't even know these things existed. I recently changed my daughter's tire for her on the side of the road with the OEM jack and it was a nightmare. I'm probably going to buy one for each of my vehicles. Thanks Project Farm.

[@ProjectFarm]

[@kafklatsch3198]

Excellent work as usual. I agree, i didn't think much of the capacity of these electric units because of the danger component. But you have shown that they are capable. I carry an air pump, a heavy duty dewalt impact wrench, and an oem scissor jack rated for a heavy SUV ( used on my car)... i use the impact to raise and lower the scissor, so it is a psuedo-electric, and also for removing the lugs... the SUV oem jack also has a higher lift and load... so i am well prepared for a tire change. I do suggest your audience consider your tested options.... great job... best youtube site .... keep up the incredible work it is your calling, and you should reap the rewards for your diligence..

7:15 another user error. You don’t loosen lug nuts with a torque wrench (6:55).

I bought an E help electric jack to keep in the girlfriend’s car a couple of years ago I and thought it would probably fail if we ever needed it but your test gave me some confidence that she could use it to change a tire by herself if she had to. Wish it had an inflator…
