"I have car that is much lower to the ground than normal and that did not come with a spare tire. I have now equipped the car with a spare tire but needed a jack that could get under the car when it would be even lower than normal due to a flat tire. I ordered this jack even though I had doubts that it would lift well, given it is powered by exhaust gases. Bottom line, it worked as advertised and then some. I bought the 3-Ton so I would have the bigger footprint for use in sand, mud or snow (we have snow in the mountains nearby). It comes in its own high quality storage duffel that holds the bag (which is the part that lifts), the inflation hose and the two adaptors to fit different size exhaust pipes. The bag, when spread out, is about an inch high before filling. It is made out of heavy duty material. In use, you need to assure that the inflation hose does not have any kinks in it (reminds me of fire hose, but smaller in diameter). The bag fills rapidly and lifts my 3400 pound car in about a minute. It holds the air very well, although the directions warn you that air will bleed out after a period of time (by then you should be done putting on your spare tire). The directions are complete and come on a laminated card so they will not be damaged when used in poor conditions. This jack solved the issue with my car and should do the same for any car that has low clearance. On a vehicle with normal (car) clearance or extra (truck) clearance, the ease of use will be even greater."
