Powerbuilt 3 Ton, Bottle Jack and Jack Stands in One, 6000 Pound Capacity, All-in-One Car Lift, Heavy Duty Vehicle Unijack, Wide Base, 620471

The floor jack was built tough, I just had difficulties getting the ram to drop which made removing it from under the vehicle once the wheels touched the ground and the suspension stabilized. I had to pry it down to get it to clear the carriage rail to slide it out. [UPDATE] So initially, I returned my jack because of the difficulty is getting the ram to lower. I spent the better half of two days trying to find a comparable replacement to no avail. I ended up giving the unit a second chance and ordered another one (mind you for a few dollars more which was fine). The new unit arrived and the first thing I did was attempted to test the piston. The unit raised and lowered smoothly. I was a little concerned that the bottle jack seemed a bit wobbly but I was willing to deal with it. during one of my sessions of testing the ram I heard a small tap noise and looked on my table. There was a screw on it. My initial thought at the moment in time was "What the?" I gave the jack a very thorough look over and discovered that there are two screws that secure the bottle jack to the frame. One fell off, the other was a little loose and originally this sort of made me somewhat disappointed. However, after looking at the screw and seeing how thick and meaty it looked I went ahead and reseated it and used my power tool to reseat it. It reseated perfectly and I could feel by how well it mated with the assembly that there was quality and confidence behind that connection. I think it could have been a case of someone missing this trying to get these out of the assembly line to meet the demand. Despite this, continuing my thorough inspection of the unit continued to raise my confidence levels. The areas under stress and of critical importance have been engineered in a manner that prevents you from accidentally tinkering around and possibly putting the jack in a compromised state which I appreciate. The lift handles are riveted on so I don't have fears of that popping off and having the unit fall on to my foot during transport as an example and the ram is bolted to the jack support so you don't need to worry about possibly having the two not be aligned properly before putting the points under load. It was these little touches that despite my initial complications of having to get it exchanged along with having two of the screws losoe on the bottom that I still changed my original rating of four stars and upped it to five. I do feel that having gotten past these little nuances was well worth it after taking the convenience, practicality and quality of the unit (as a whole) in the end and quite frankly, I haven't been able to find an alternative solution that is as well integrated as this one at a similar price point. Having had my issues gave me an opportunity to really give my jack a thorough look over and it was during this time that I truly got to understand and appreciate the engineering behind the product.

Tired of hauling out the big floor jack AND jack stands? Me too! This just solved the problem. I use it to rotate the tires on my jeep. I rotate in my spare so all 5 tires. This jack is simple to use and with the locking jack stand I don't have to worry about a jack slowly leaking down. I purchased only one simply to "test it out" and because I'm only removing one tire at a time. I'm probably gonna order another one now so I can fully support an axle off the ground. I'll also be taking this when going off-road just to have a reliable and easy way to change a flat or get me out of a jam. The lift height is plenty for my jeep running a 2½" lift on 34" tires... The price is great and the time saved in not having to jack up a vehicle, place a jack stand, hopefully not exactly where you placed your floor jack and then moving the floor jack out of the way is a huge advantage! It's well built and has plenty of adjustability. The jack stand component works like any other. Remove the pin, adjust the height, install the pin and proceed to jack up the vehicle using the jack (typical bottle type jack) making sure the safety catch is engaging as you lift the vehicle. Once you achieve your desired height and making sure the safety latch you can release the pressure off the jack. It couldn't be any easier or faster...

Needed a better, taller jack for my Prospector XL pickup truck (lifted, big tires) because the original Ram factory jack was played out before it even got a tire off the ground, and it felt wobbly even then. Gave this a shot for three reasons: wide base to distribute load on soft soil, such as off road; auto-locking feature so it doesn’t crush me if I have to get underneath; and high load capacity. I’ve used it several times on cement for rotating tires and it works as described. It is a heavy jack - you won’t be picking this up with one hand - but the looks and feels do inspire confidence that it’s going to keep the truck off the ground and off of me. Plenty of stroke to raise my 40” tires, locks in place as it says it will, and it’s a whole lot smaller and cheaper than one of those offroad floor jacks, so it doesn’t break the budget or take up much space in the back. I trust it to keep me non-squishy when I have to put an appendage or my head under the truck. Only thing I think could be better is a longer handle. It can be tough to reach the jack when it’s under an axle. I might weld an extension to the factory handle if it bothers me enough.

The jack is a good deal for the money. The one star knocked off is for the only issue with it I have had. It is strictly a quality control issue most likely due to a substandard part than a design issue. I tried to lift the left rear tire off of the gravel road that my very large SUV was parked on. It's a 2004 nissan armada 4x4 with aftermarket wheels and tires that are twice the factory size so the jack has to lift higher than the oem one can. I had lifted the tire clear of the ground and was just about to set the safety bar in the top slot of the stand when there was a popping noise. The cross pin that links the pump on the cylinder to the pump rocker that the jack handle fits in had fallen out. It is held in place by a type of quick assembly clip. The clip in my case had fallen out of the hole in the pump cross pin and allowed the pin to walk out of the pump rocker unnoticed by me in the dark until the popping sound and lack of the ability to raise the jack to disengage the now locked stand. I found the pin but to my dismay could not get it reinstalled due to the pump plunger having popped up too high. I then put the jack into lower mode and was able to push the pump plunger down enough to get the cross pin back into place. I had to then pump up the jack enough to get the safety bar disengaged which worked as it should. The culprit for all of the trouble is a cheaply made quick clip. I found the clip on my bed where I had unboxed the jack. It was bent too wide to effectively keep it locked into position. I re-bent it to be a tighter fit and reinstalled it on the cross pin. The jack functions normally. Six lift tests later zero issues. If you buy one of these units be sure to examine it carefully. If it had truly failed to lower I would have had to go into 4x4 high and drive off of it possibly damaging my vehicle as the oem jack is worthless on gravel besides being too short. This jack does work very well on gravel. I suspect the failure to lower issues and oil loss issues I have read about are linked to that faulty clip falling out. I plan on replacing it with a standard cotter pin that will never just fall out as I do not trust that cheap clip. Hope this honest review helps out.

Made a great addition to my 4 post lift. I have a runway jack for one end of a vehicle but wanted to be able to use the jack tray. They are great, Stable, Really like the fact that they lock in place so I don’t have to worry about them leaking down. Truck has been on lift for Two weeks without a worry.

I needed a jack for my lifted 2500 gmc, I decided this jack was what I needed. It works perfect for what I needed.

This bottle jack is far superior to the standard jack that comes with your vehicle. It works very well and I highly recommend it. 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor owner

This is designed to work in place of a jack stand, a bottle jack or a floor jack offering something in addition to each of those. Unfortunately, this has limitations in each of the applications where you would have used those especially for automotive purposes. Like the rest of automotive industry that hasn't standardized on jack points, this unit has its own saddle design that is neither like a jack stand nor a floor jack nor a bottle jack. So, none of the third party pad adapters you can get for any of those will work. The pad offered by Powerbuilt itself doesn't fit the 2ton (4000lb) version despite the representation it does. So, you land up improvising the usual hockey puck or wood block or whatever to interface which makes the minimum height of this unit even more of a problem and less sturdy. The bent angles on the "stand" saddle will dig into things in the car it shouldn't otherwise without spreading the load. For most small cars, the minimum height is too high for use on the sides as might be needed for a tire change or a brake job. So, one will need to initially lift the vehicle with something else (what one might be trying to avoid in the first place). And one would need to have the car still lifted and held by something else while coming down so this unit can be removed first. The length and movement of the pump arm is such that the lifting is very, very slow and painful even for a sub 3000lb car. On the positive side, it did work as a bottle jack with an attached stand and an automatic lock that works. It has had no leaks so far in a couple of days of use. Where it will come in the most useful is to be able to lift the car much higher than a typical jack included with the car, and not require both a floor jack and a stand for that use. This can be made much more useful by providing common adapters that fits its saddle design for typical lift points (although it will make it too expensive if sold separately). If they can design an adapter that would be able to lift from a lower height with the unit standing outside of the car skirt, that would make it very useful and brilliant in design. Many cars come with side holes for the factory included jacks. This would be enough for a tire change operation better than the supplied jack and be portable. In summary, this is a good thing to have in addition to the factory jack for peace of mind without having to carry a separate jack stand or rely on the factory jack alone. Or if you need to lift and hold at a much higher height. But note that the total lift is only about 5". So if you want the max 18" height, you will have to start with an initial 13" height. So it isn't exactly ideal for either of those use cases given the limitations above.
