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

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.

.... sounds like a challenge!!</div>
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.
