BIG RED 20 Ton Hydraulic Aluminum Alloy Pump/Pneumatic Quick Lift Welded Car Bottle Jack, Longer Lifespan, Ideal for Car, Pickup, Truck, SUV, Industrial Engineering

Worked great for my bearing press

This jack lifts without breaking a sweat. Whether with a compressor or the old fashioned pump methed this one keeps saying bring me more, The quality of the unit is amazing The size is impressively small for what it can do. The jack is HEAVY so don;t expect to throw it around like a little 2 ton bottle jack. But it will lift a house.

Works perfect

Impressed. Lifts a 33,0000 school bus clear off the ground easy. Slows if you have a small compressor (CFM) but if you got air, She will LIFT!!!(quickly) Also doesn't leak or drop. Left all that weight in there for a week as a test and didn't drop at all. Super happy. This will be kept onboard bus for flat tiers and leveling as I can take air of the air break system. Great but there could have been a bit better with layout and support tools. so only 4 starts.

Update: October 11, 2025 My unit failed internally. There are no external leaks. The unit collapses when trying to raise the saddle. Not bad for 9 years of use. But the repair kit is $50+. Doesn't make sense to rebuild it when you can buy a new one for twice the repair kit cost. This unit eliminates the extra effort of operating a bottle jack. All you need is compressed air to get it going. This unit replaced a 10 year old 20-ton bottle jack from Home Depot (which still works fine). I have a 20 ton shop press at home and when pressing bearings on and off, this air jack makes short work of doing so. Instead of repeatedly ratcheting the stroker, with compressed air, you just press a lever. It does make quite a bit of noise when operating, but that is totally understandable. The release is the same type as all other bottle jacks, twist of a valve to release the pressure. The air nipple was on very tight, as I needed to remove it so I can install the type I use at home (larger nipple and chucks).

Updated review. Do not buy these jacks. Go buy Harbor Freight jacks before you even think about these. As the rest of my review states, they do not last long. (Read review for more info). So I’ve now contacted the company that makes them, no response; contacted Amazon warranty, no response; went through Amazon chat and was told that I’d be paying for return shipping as well as a 20% restocking fee for broken jacks that cannot be “restocked”! I’m now out over $400 and have to buy more jacks because my business is semi truck tires. Figured these would be good considering the price. I was horribly wrong and now I’m out to prevent anyone else having this issue. I bought two of these jacks back in May of this year (2021). Not even 4 full months later and both are basically dead. They both leak oil, they both continue to slowly pump up while hooked into air without the trigger being pushed and one completely died on me today. I use these for semi tire work and the one today couldn’t even hold up a 5th wheel camper. I had to continue to apply air to it so it would hold it up long enough for me to finish mounting the tire. I’ve been in this business for over 20 years and have never had jacks go bad on me so quickly. Sad to say even harbor freight 20 tons held up longer than these did for half the price.

I've purchased three of these units and I still have my original one from years ago. I use them daily and they take a beating. I unfortunately lost one a few weeks ago as it gave up the ghost under rigorous punishment, however, for the price point, they are affordable to replace and you will easily recoup your money back if you use them as much as I do. Are there more durable and higher cost models out there? Sure. Will you sulk if this one konks out after a year or two or maybe 5? Probably not since you probably spent more on a nice dinner and some drinks. I have heavy 43000 lb loads under these and not one failure while under the weight. I'll continue to purchase these as I need them in the future.
