Today, we'll be having a look at the Buffalo Tools Electric Car Jack, part number BTEJ212. All right, here's what our jack looks like when it's in use. With one simple push of a button, you can safely lift your vehicle anywhere between 5" and 14" off the ground. The jack has a safe working load limit of 2,000 pounds. It's easy to use, with the two-button controller, with a nice LED light here to show that our jack has power going to it. Our controller has a 3' long cord, which goes to the jack unit itself, and then our power cord, which goes to the 12-volt outlet inside our vehicle, is 12' long. Now, one nice feature about this jack, compared to other electric jacks on the market, it does have a manual override, in case your vehicle's battery we're to die, and you want to be able to lower the jack back down, and your car will be stuck on it.
It has a simple handle which slides into a hole on the side of the motor, and allows you to crank the jack manually in order to raise it or lower it. The jack will also work nicely with trailers. Not only does our jack work great for cars and trailers, but it'll also work good for small SUVs and pickup trucks, too, because you're not lifting the entire weight of the vehicle at once. You're just lifting one corner, which is well within the limits of the 2,000-pound capacity of our jack. All right, now that we've gone over some features of our jack, we'll show you how to safely use it on a car so you can change your flat tire or whatever you need to do. First thing we need to do is to plug it into our 12-volt outlet in our vehicle. Now, before we get started lifting our car up, we want to make sure our parking brake is set.
I've already done that. Now we want to identify our jack point so we can safely lift our vehicle. On most vehicles, you'll be able to identify your jack points noted by a triangle, so we'll slide our jack in position underneath that and raise it up until it touches. All right, the remote's very simple to use. The up arrow makes the jack go up to raise the vehicle or trailer, and the down arrow makes it go down. We'll want to make sure our pinch weld goes into the slot in our jack.
The pinch weld is the ridge where your unibody is welded together. That's the strong part of the vehicle where it's safe to jack. Okay, with the jack in position on the pinch weld and touching it, we can now safely raise it the rest of the way. Once we have it high enough, we'll place the jack stand in position and lower down on the jack stand. That way, it'll be safe for us to work on the vehicle. With our car now safely supported on the jack stand, it's now safe for us to remove our tire and put on our spare tire, or do whatever necessary repair we need to do.
All right, here's how your jack will come to you. It will ship in a nice blow-molded case which will store the jack itself and all the accessories it comes with. We have two latches which snap shut nice and tight. You open it up, you'll find the jack itself, your 12-volt power cord, and your hand control here. Also included, we'll find an emergency handle here, also. We have three replacement fuses, in case one of our fuses we're to blow in our unit; and that completes our look at the Buffalo Tools Electric Car Jack, part number BTEJ212.

Plan to use this electric scissor jack to do the twice-a-year "snow tire wheel swap" on our Toyota minivan and Subaru Forester SUV. Just tried it lifting one rear wheel on the minivan. It works, but at max-lift the tire barely cleared the pavement. I will be putting a piece of 2x8 under it when swapping tires in a few weeks. The plastic storage/carrying case is nice. Keeps everything together & clean, and the handle is usefull - this thing is fairly heavy. The reduction gears grind quite a bit under load even lifting the light end of the minivan. Will see how long they last. 479116
David, Thank you for your review. This jack is made with a weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. The vehicles you are using this for are between 3,000 and 4,000 lbs. Since you are only lifting part of the vehicle, you should not be over exceeding the weight capacity. Once you have the vehicle up make sure you are using jack stands such as part # PTW41021

Great product, well thought out design. Carrying case is durable and easy to use. I like that it comes with spare fuses and a hand crank if your battery is dead. 559020
