Seen them in use .. absolutely useless. IMHO

Damaged the floor on one car, due to the way they tend to sit or get shoved

Takes for ever to inflate, and if you use a bit of throttle to increase the gas flow/pressure the end just blows out of the exhaust

On one car with a weak exhaust it was impossible to use anyway after about 2 minutes ... as the exhaust box disintegrated !!

On the contrary ...... I've used one (it's still in my garage somewhere) with great success, I used it to lift a caravan to change a wheel on it. ISTR that it didn't take that long to fully inflate.

Used correctly they are excellent, although I wouldn't trust one for wheel changes, but need a sound exhaust system and even then they can be very slow ;)
