a little faster than the bottle jack

about the same speed as the TYAYT

about the same speed as the ABN

a little slower than the Standtall

by far the fastest of any jack in the video

faster than the Torin scissor jack

the jack held up fine on this easy test

on the first attempt; a repeat run to keep it going all the way took 1 minute 48 seconds

to reach 17.5 in tall

the same as the ABN and the Standtall; reached full height in 1 minute 17 seconds by another measurement in the same segment

a little slower than the Standtall

16 seconds; however, the jack twisted and ended up resting on three wheels afterward, described by the narrator as light but 'just not very sturdy'

to reach 14.5 in

using an air compressor as the inflation source

reached 2,800 lb in 1 minute 12 seconds, described as effortless ('you won't break a sweat'); in the failure push (referred to later in the transcript as the 'e-auto' jack, resolved to this same brand given the matching 3 ton rating and matching final result) reached just over 7,000 lb before giving up, the best of all jacks in this test, and finished the video's overall tractor-lift ranking in first place at 7,030 lb

reached 2,800 lb in 75 seconds; in the failure push, initially gave up at very close to 4,000 lb, then reached just over 5,300 lb after the narrator added a 4x4 under the tractor to lower the lift point by 4 in (worth about 700 lb of extra lift)

reached 2,800 lb in 63 seconds (9 seconds faster than the E-HELP); in a later failure push (referred to as the 'Tite' jack, resolved to this same brand given the matching roughly 5 ton / 11,000 lb rating) gave up early at very close to 4,000 lb

reached 2,800 lb in 80 seconds, the slowest of all jacks to reach that target; in the failure push (referred to as the 'WEN' jack, resolved to this same brand given the matching support-head description and price-tier position) reached 5,800 lb before giving up, finishing the tractor-lift test in second place behind the E-HELP

reached 2,800 lb the fastest of all jacks at 28 seconds; in the failure push (referred to as the 'NOCO' jack, resolved to this same brand given the matching 1.5 ton rating) reached 3,461 lb before its bypass system began releasing pressure

rated for 2 tons; reached 2,800 lb in 35 seconds; performed better than advertised in the failure push, reaching 5,100 lb (later cited as 5,092 lb in the final tractor-lift recap) before giving up, finishing third overall in that test

rated for 1.5 tons (3,000 lb); made it to 2,000 lb before the narrator had to stop the test, as the jack began leaning and bending 1,000 lb short of its rating

rated for 3 tons; made it to almost 8,500 lb before the electric motor fell off, ending the test

at the lowest jack level, made it to 8,600 lb before giving up, then finally blew a seal at 20,400 lb

rated for 2 tons but withstood a lot of force, finally losing ground at 28,000 lb, the highest failure load of any jack in the video

finally gave up at just about 7,300 lb, when one of the pins broke

3.84, and 4.5 seconds (some hesitation on the third), average 3.96 seconds

4.0, and 4.5 seconds, average 4.2 seconds

4.5, and 4.4 seconds, average 4.53 seconds, faster than the E-HELP and ABN wrenches but described as not hitting as hard

(the slowest single-nut time of the video), 5.57, and 6.28 seconds, average 6.48 seconds, the slowest average of the five kits with impact wrenches, though described as hitting faster but not as hard as the others

broke the lug nut loose in 5.98 seconds, described as very impressive for the price of the kit

broke the lug nut loose in 8.1 seconds, with quite a bit more wind-up time than the TYAYT wrench

broke the lug nut loose in 11.6 seconds using 29 impacts, the slowest of the five impact wrenches on this test

broke the lug nut loose in 10.6 seconds using 23 impacts
