VIDEO : Hi-Lift or Bottle Jack - What's the Better Tool for Changing a Tire?

[bobfriesenhahn]

Great video. Loved the disclaimer at the end. Anxiously waiting for the future comments from the 'experts' lol.

There were a great many disclaimers. I was waiting for Eddie to miss one. Especially about how it is possible to chain the axle to the frame in order to make it feasible to use the hi-lift. But he did not forget to mention that either.

This video will be a true test of viewer's attention span and mental faculties.

I still don't get why Eddie was willing to destroy a perfectly good tire just to make a video!

I’ve given away all my high lifts and mostly carry bottle jacks now…but I’ve seen some creative ways high lifts have been used in situations other than changing a tire. I also have a couple friends that carry them if needed on the trail…

Great video! Definitely like bottle jacks over any others. Plus they take up less room in the Jeep.

Just wanted to give this thread a bump and let everyone know that I just got word that Bottle Jack Buddies were back in stock

Seriously I didn’t know bottle jacks were so useful. I always hated them from my days when they were included on cars, but that apparently was because they always included crappy ones. I’ll definitely be splurging for a good bottle jack over a High Lift

Great informative video! I love my bottle jack!

Great video! I must definitely need to add a bottle jack to my list of things to get.

Not that any of you needed to be convinced BUT for all the haters out there that have and or will give me shit about this video, please take note what Austin, the owner of Hi-Lift and a personal friend of mine has to say about changing out a tire using HIS jack. Specifically, what you NEED to do before you remove your tire.

So that it isn't missed, this is CLEARLY stated in the Hi-Lift instructions as well.

LOL - of course, my reason for making the post above is that I literally get comments like this on a daily basis - sometimes half a dozen of them

It’s fun to read these but it has to be frustrating to deal with I’m sure.

eh, it can be annoying especially when they come full of hate. Those, I typically just delete. When they're just stupid like this guy, I'll respond but really, if you're such an internet expert, why in the hell did you stop to watch our video. Just to post up how smart you are?
