The VEVOR 5-ton electric hydraulic jack is a car-repair kit that pairs a powered floor jack with an electric impact wrench and an LED light. It is meant for tasks such as changing a wheel or tyre, where lifting a vehicle by hand with a pump handle is slow and tiring. Here is what the specs mean and what to think about before relying on one.
What the kit does
A hydraulic jack uses fluid pressure to raise a load. In a manual jack you pump a handle; in an electric one a motor does the pumping. VEVOR says this unit rises automatically and stops by itself once it reaches its height limit. The electric impact wrench in the kit removes and tightens wheel nuts without hand effort, so one tool lifts and the other turns the nuts.
What 5 tons means in practice
VEVOR rates the jack for a maximum lifting weight of 5 tons (11,000 lb). That is a limit on the load, not the weight of the whole vehicle. When one corner or one end of a car is raised, the jack carries only part of the vehicle's weight. The listing names SUVs, sedans and urban recreational vehicles such as the CR-V as suitable. Check your vehicle's weight and the jacking points in its owner's manual.
Lifting range
The lifting range is given as 155 to 530 mm (6.1 to 16.5 inches). The low figure is the height of the jack's pad when fully lowered, which matters for cars with low ground clearance: the jack has to slide underneath. The high figure is the highest point the pad reaches. Compare both numbers with the height of your vehicle's jacking point before you buy.
Self-locking design
VEVOR says the jack uses a self-locking design intended to keep the car from falling suddenly. Whatever the jack's design, the standard advice from vehicle makers and tool manufacturers is never to work under a car held only by a jack. Use correctly rated jack stands on firm, level ground, apply the parking brake, and follow the manual.
LED light
An integrated LED light helps when you are working in a dim garage, at night or by the roadside. It lights up the area around the wheel and the jacking point.
Size and weight
The jack measures 15.4 x 15.4 x 8.3 inches and weighs 19.8 lb (about 9 kg), which is compact enough for a garage shelf or a vehicle's boot. The listing does not say how the power is supplied, so confirm that in the product details.
Who it suits
It suits home mechanics and drivers who want to change wheels or tyres seasonally, do basic repairs or carry a kit in an SUV or truck, within the stated limit.
What to check before you buy
- Power source: confirm how the jack and the wrench are powered, and whether a battery or cable is included.
- Vehicle weight and jacking points: check them in the owner's manual.
- Ground clearance: compare your car's clearance with the 155 mm minimum height.
- Jack stands: a separate pair of correctly rated stands is the standard companion to any jack.
- Socket sizes: check the wrench's included sockets against your wheel nuts.
- Surface: use it only on firm, level ground.
