This dosn't even look safe, but apparently it's all over the place.

i would not use it or buy cuz it does not look safe, and just cuz its everywhere does not make it safe...

plus with big ass muffler, i dont it would work anyway

If I had to change a tire and all I had was this jack that would be fine. But there is no way I'm getting underneath that car.

Cool!! For changing a tire, absolutely, for removing my tranny? I don't think so. My guess is it has a bunch of safety protections built in like it won't over-inflate, no reverse flow (one-way valve), metal tip on the end so you don't have to get close to your exhaust, etc. Notice the metal area near the exhaust that goes into the hose, that's pretty long and looks like it's meant to keep you away from the muffler.
I only wonder how it can get enough pressure, both having a seal strong enough, and getting the car to put enough pressure on it to lift the car. I thought that if you put enough pressure on the tailpipe, wouldn't it kill the car?

i would def. use it for tire changes and stuff..

its probably not meant, and also probably has warnings to NOT be under the car with that 'jack'. but then again, you could use that jack, and then throw some stands under the car.

i saw that a while back on that site, and just kinda thought it was neat, but not super useful.

that site is so much fun to just lurk and see all the neat things.. i spent like 3 hours one day reading stuff on that site.

Role Reversal

as long as there was some sort of valve in there to keep air from rushing out i would use it for a tire change.

if that thing can lift an x5 that far, I'd bet it could flip a tiburon....

.... sounds like a challenge!!

We run them up here for getting unstuck / Changing tires on our rigs. They don't use the exhaust however, just compressor's.

I agree.

Let's get a fund together and buy one for DTN, he can get in his car, start it, redline it and hit the NAAWWWSSSSS (NOS), bet his car would do a double backflip with a half gainer and twist.

DTN

lol... I'll pick up where the truck backflip guy left off.

i run ZEX, not NOS.
