Found a review on the air/hydraulic jack:
It is hard to beat the price, and, especially the shipping costs. The shipping costs from this supplier are really reasonable. The unit performs, and does a decent job for the money.
(1) You can use a wide range of pressures to operate it. The specs say that it operates between .7 MPa and 1.0 MPa. (MPa = megapascals (which is a clue that this is made in China) (1 MPa is about 145 psi, so, this unit operates between 100 psi and 145 psi)). This is important if you have a compressor that has a maximum working pressure of about 110 psi (most units for consumers are about 100 - 120 psi max.)
(2) It has a quick release couple, already on the unit, right next to the valve. It may only save a few bucks, but, it is one less thing you have to do to make the unit operational. I use a three outlet manifold on my compressor so that I always have a hose free with a female quick couple. This attaches nicely, and, the valve is right on the couple so you can pop it in and immediately begin pressurizing the jack. This is important if you are under a 3 ton vehicle and you want to move, and "fuss" around, as little as possible until you have it solidly on jack stands.
(3) The welds are tight and clean. They aren't the best quality, but, they aren't the worst either. (I've seen some junk come out of China that looked like my five year old had welded it for his art class in kindergarten. The welding on this unit doesn't qualify for freeform art. It's professional).
(4) It has a small pneumatic tank (which is an important feature for an air bottle jack). The tank insures a reserve supply pressure to the hydraulics in case a microscopic leak developes under pressure). This is not only a professional design feature, it is also a safety feature. It is less likely, with a pneumatic reservce, that the jack will fail.
(5) The hose ends are well protected with a spring cage and reinforcements.
All in all, if you just need a casual jack for boosting an SUV or ATV in the garage, this unit gives you the best bang for the buck
There is also a manual version of these jacks: and it is cheap:
