Worked initially, lasted maybe a year before it stopped building pressure. Replaced reed valves tried resealing head etc. No dice. And virtually impossible to get any parts other than the reed valves.

Anyone have experience with the Vevor jacks, specifically the toe jack? Looking, and they offer one, Yellow Jacket does around the same price (looks like they may be a Northern Tool brand), alphabet soup, and then a 2x jump in price to Temco, and another jump up to Jet. Roughly 60-75, then about 200 (temco), and 300 Jet. Would be the 2.5/5, or could upsize to 5/10 (though would probably never actually need it to lift 5tons).

This is one that would be lifting just high enough for machine skates, so while if it breaks, something very heavy may drop, but it would only be 5" or so max.

Also, does anyone know if their skate handles fit Hillman? I got a deal on a set of Hillman skates, but not sure if i came with 1 handle or 2 (buddy picked up for me).

I bought one of the air jacks, so far so good....but I've only used it a handful of times. I also have one of the larger ultrasonic cleaners that I bought a year ago, still in the box.

I bought this weather station not expecting much...luckily. It didn't last 12 months. The plastic over the solar panel frosted over from UV! An ants nest in the battery compartment supplied the coup de grâce.

The ants nest issue could be managed but the solar panel cover was diabolical. Rubbish. For the money, expected.

I just bolted this strut compressor together today. It’ll be a couple weeks before I’ll get to test it out. But it’s pretty damn stout. It does need some washers and it was missing one c clip but what was odd to me was it came with a package of four new orings for the pressure release rod - obviously expected to fail. I think I’ll just replace that with a buna -n to start with and be done.

5 ton air bag jack is a PASS.



I don’t use my hydraulic floor jack since getting this thing. Add air, flip the valve open, and voom, up it goes. Low enough to slip under my ‘37 Chevy, tall enough to lift my ‘01 4x4 Dakota.

If you have someone with mobility and strength issues, the Transfer Pole is helpful.



It clamps between ceiling and floor, and provides a support grab bar without needing a wall nearby to anchor it to. Dad bought a dozen of these to outfit his house.

My first Vevor tool, this thing is a unit! Worth the money for me. I have a main drain line running out to my septic tank that tends to get clogged every couple years. The last time I had it snaked by a local plumbing company it cost me close to $600 due to being a weekend. A couple weeks ago I noticed the drain was getting slow so went ahead and just bought my own power snake. Had to wait about a week for it to get delivered on a pallet, it's close to 170lbs. Very happy with this purchase.

Chamber vac, have had it for about 2 and 1/2 years now, I'd say it's a pass. We don't use it heavily year round, but we use it alot in the summer and fall for freezing produce from our garden. And randomly throughout the year for freezing leftovers when we make like a large batch of beans or chili (usually using previously frozen veggies!).

It did have a 1 way check valve fail on it after about 1 year, and Vevor was not able to send me a replacement part. They did send me $15 as compensation for finding one myself, and I just swapped it out for one that I found locally. No problems since. Like most of these types of products, none of the stainless edges are sanded down, so if you don't do that yourself you have to watch out when you're opening the panels to add the oil and what not when setting it up, but it seems reasonably well built.

We have ours mounted on a rolling cart, keep our canning pressure pot and some other canning supplies on the bottom, and the vacuum sealer on the top. Just roll it out when ever we need it.

We used one of the real inexpensive food saver vacuum sealers that ***** air out for a few years previously, works fine for dry-ish stuff, but for anything wet and soupy, we never had good luck with them. no problems with the chamber vac, works good for everything. A slight learning curve on using it, mainly figuring out how long to let it pull vacuum and dial in how long to heat the seal, but not difficult once you figure it out.

+1 on the ultrasonics, I got one through an auction for $40 but it's done everything I need.
This 3" milling vise is a pass for me, there is some deflection but it's minimal, I'd put it somewhere between other imports (sloppy) and a kurt (tight). For the money and for the precision required in a cheap import mill, it's perfect.
