It's doing quite well. Decided to do a full break job with it. And had no issues. Had the jack stand for safety but that was more of a fail safe. It held up just fine. And it is easier to move than our large floor jack. Needless to say, was was very happy! :)
lifting two wheels is standard for some vehicles, my 2019 bolt EV is one that the manufacturer recommends using the jack point under the front doors to lift both wheels on the side that is to be changed. I use this method because it is recommended by the people that design the car.FYI. also is that a true impact socket that I see on your gun, and if you have locking lug nuts on your nice shiny wheels never use your impact gun to remove these type of nuts. always use a power handle to remove the locks and to install them a torque wrench for the final tightening with a re-torque after about 50 miles with alloy wheels.
Great advice! I appreciate the insights, especially regarding the EV 2-wheel aspect. As for the Vevor car jack socket, it does seem quite durable based on my experience. The chrome finish does raise questions about it being a true impact socket, given the more common black metal ones. However, considering it's designed for loosening bolts and the 80-110 pounds exerted, it should be safe for standard sockets in non-regular use. That being said, I share your hesitation about using these sockets for a full auto repair job. While they might handle it, I'm cautious based on the color alone; most impact sockets I've seen are black metal. Your input is valuable, and it's wise to consider the right tool for the job. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

There may be variations depending on the make and model of the car. In my experience, connecting directly to the battery is not the standard procedure for several reasons. Many cars, including mine, come equipped with a jumpstart port (there's probably a technical term for it) that incorporates a fuse. This feature is designed to safeguard against potential issues that may arise from jumpstarting a vehicle, like the risk of damaging the battery due to a sudden surge of current. Most modern cars are equipped with such a system, and it serves to protect the sensitive computer circuitry within the vehicle. In contrast, older model cars lacked this safety feature, making direct battery connection the only option. However, as automotive technology evolved and computers were integrated into vehicles, it was discovered that jumpstarting and connecting accessories directly to the battery could pose risks to the car's computer systems and occasionally result in battery damage. Although I'm not certain about the precise nature of these concerns, it's possible that they included battery explosions or other potentially hazardous issues. I haven't delved into the specifics of this, but the general consensus is that it's safest to connect to the designated port in the car rather than directly to the battery, according to the guidance provided by manufacturers of newer cars. I hope this explanation addresses your question.
@@WoodWorkTherapy i'm confused 5 ton 3 in 1, came with 2 extra fuses what are they for. on page 8 in manual they show to replace fuse on your 12 v plug by twisting off upper cover but mine is just 1 peace
@@dfygoh3215 I just examined the end of my adapter cord and noticed a small silver component beneath the pin at the top of the connector.

@@dfygoh3215I'm not suggesting that you'll definitely experience a blown fuse. Rather, the point here is that when you use any additional accessories that weren't originally part of the car's design, there's a possibility that a fuse could blow due to various reasons if there isn't a fusible link protecting the fuse in the car's electrical circuit. This is more of a legal precaution than a major concern. I can't recall ever encountering or hearing of such an issue occurring when there's a fusible link safeguarding the car's fuse in the electrical circuit. In essence, there's no need to worry excessively about it.
Thanks for the awesome review! We look forward to seeing you again in the future! 🥰
What can I say? We love your products! Thank you for stopping by! 😀

How is this holding up and how often do you use it?

@@WoodWorkTherapy thanks a million i figured it out , also are you saying in your video that you may blow a fuse in your car ?
