Is this jack easy to use, and is it a good choice for replacing a flat tire?

No, this is not a good choice for replacing a flat tire. This is a stabilizing jack. It is designed to be used on trailers when they are parked, it keeps the trailer from rocking back and forth when you are inside of it. Typically you would have one on each corner of your trailer. I suggest you look for a jack that is designed to lift vehicles.

This jack is not designed to be used to change tires. It is designed to be mounted on the frame of an RV or utility trailer and used as a stabilizing, as opposed to lifting, jack. I would not use this jack to try to change a tire except in an emergency. It is not a good choice as a primary lifting jack.

easy-very simple. just put trailer adapter onto the hub of the back tire, and the little trailer just slips on, and slips odd. very easy.

Look at an Omega 29023, it is not a cheap jack, but it is the best designed jack on the market for lifting a lowered vehicle

I used it to inflate a completely flat tire, it was not super fast but it did the job. Probably 8 minutes or so.

Its easy. Nuts and bolts stuff. I think it even came with a wrench. Took maybe ten minutes first time, and that was three yrs. ago. Still holding up great BTW. Just have had to replace two tire tubes. Makes a twice monthly grocery run with my electric bike. Very slight fraying in the fabric but I'd guess it has another 5-7 yrs left.

Yes it does. It has everything you need to jack up a modest sized car. It suffers loss of mechanical advantage when it is completely flat but for a car with a flat tire this is not a problem because the higher the jack the less the change in height per motion of the jack screw and the greater the mechanical advantage. While this cannot be easy to see, the derivative of jack position with respect to height, using the Pythagorean theorem is positive which proves the virtue of this design of a car jack.

For changing car tires or the like this compressor should handle it just fine. You can easily get 120 lbs of pressure out of it, but don't expect 150. You may have to wait for the pressure to build up again before you can go from bolt to bolt, but this is a home or light carpenter use compressor.

If you're careful about the rubber end around the jack (i.e. not bending it or putting undo stress on it for any significant length of time) you should be fine. Haven't had any other issues.

This rather heavy tool seems a bit "over the top" for mainly tire filling, but once at 90 to 100 psi pressure, it will fill tires quickly, just like a gas station hose. It doesn't have the reservoir capacity for extensive paint spraying or continuous impact tool operation, but for the DIY'er, it works well. Note that this unit is oil lubricated, so you can expect some oil in the air produced, not a problem for the uses you mention. If you need a unit which can be easily moved around, you may want to consider one of their equivalent, though more costly, wheeled units - this one is a bear to lug up stairs or any significant distance (about 65 lbs.).

Bettyann, I have this inflator, but I use it to inflate or "top off" my car tires or my lawn tractor tires. It does a good job on those in a very reasonable amount of time. I assume it would also do a good job in your situation even though yours is more about the volume of air at relative low pressure while my use is more about the pressure of the air at relatively low volume. Hope this helps a little.

This jack is perfect for that. You may have to support the rear with with a block to offset the weight but these jaclks are not as big and bulky as the other type and don't get in the way.

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.

No sir. The handle can be flat to the ground and sometimes it's easier to get it to release when it's parallel I the ground. The jack works great we're at a 10 bay service garage and my guys tried to throw away a perfectly good jack (just old) to get another one of these!

Easy enough with the right bike tool. You might need to do so. My first ride the tire came off!

It was pretty easy. Just some turns of the allen wrench if I recall correctly.

This can remove properly tightened lug nuts, but it is at its limit doing this and can't compete with air tools. The unfortunate part is many tire shops use an air gun to put wheels back on a car and over-tighten the nuts as the small amount of damage that does to the parts (that is very difficult to discern) is nothing compared to the liability if the nuts come off and the car looses control. An X shaped lug nut tool can be purchased for cheap and used to break loose really tight nuts, and the folding kind are great to keep in the trunk next to the spare tire/jack in case you get a flat as they are easier than the factory tool.

I think with a bit of muscle you could do it but the easier way is going to a tire store or mower sales/service. I have a local John Deere sales/service near me and they put the tire on for $12.00 well worth it. Of course, I am over 65 so went the easy way.
