Calculated Industries 1194 Air Shim XL Inflatable Pry Bar and Leveling Tool; 500 LB Load Holding Rating; Contractor-Grade Alignment Pump Wedge

Used it when I needed to replace the motor in my washing machine. It was easy to pump, very stable with no air leak, deflated super simple. I will need to buy another one to use on my stove next due the size of the stove, but this product is a great size if the area you are lifting is balanced. Great for the price and versatile!

I use these on my job all the time as a appliance guy it works great for what I need in tight areas and removal of some parts

I used this air pump to re-level a 50 gallon rimless aquarium that I had spent 6 months aquascaping, gluing pieces of rocks together, among other things that caused it to go off-balance again. Needless to say, I couldn’t just empty the tank to re-level it, so I had to find something that could lift a lot of weight and do it smoothly.I estimated this tank to be approximately 600 lbs+ filled. I was planning on emptying 3/4 of the tank to fix the level, but due to shrimp getting stranded in the higher portions of the scape, I could not empty more than about 40-50% of the water.I was nervous because I had experienced a cracked tank in the past and did not want a repeat! I needed something that could hold the corner of the stand up, but do it smoothly, not to slosh the water and cause more strain on the glass. I’m relieved to say that the process was actually pretty easy!The first picture is of the tank, the second two pictures show the level being off just the wrong amount. The last 3 show a perfect leveling of all sides after the job was completed. (I didn’t include a picture of the back glass, but it is just as perfect).The only regret I have is that I didn’t have this tool back when I was trying to level the stand at the start. The stand comes with screws underneath that allow you to level it, but nothing to hold the corners up while you’re doing the leveling. It would be nice if this air pump was came with a wedge like some of the other brands, but fortunately the flattened bag was easy to slip into the slightly less than 1.5” gap under the stand. I accidentally knocked off the pumping once, but this did not cause the air to release from the bag and it was easy to put back on, so I suspect this is part of the design. The air released gradually and smoothly when pushing the air release button. All in all I highly recommend this air pump!

I bought this to help adjust my closet door because it was not closing shut. I didn't have a wedge high enough because there's a 1.5" gap from the door to the floor. I placed this shim underneath the door to help put the door in its correct place so I can adjust the hinge. This made it so much easier and doesn't require someone else to hold the door in place while I adjust the hinge. My only gripe about this item is that the pump hose is way too short. If it was longer, I would have given this 5 stars for sure. It was easy to use and the air release worked well.

Need to level some feet? This is the perfect solution for you. It actually works!

The best

Our 30-year-old upright piano had been moved several times as we moved from home to home, but movers had always handled the pickup and placement. The last move resulted in the piano castors digging into our wood laminate floor, as coasters were not put down, and we wanted to move the piano from the side wall to the window end of the room without scarring the floor further. My wife and I are past Medicare age, and we needed a way to lift the piano, place coasters, and slide it into the new position. The Inflatable Pry Bar worked perfectly with a flatboard shim under it. In turn, I could lift each end of the piano and place the new coasters under the spindle legs and back castors, and then my wife and I could slide the piano into place.

Worked as it should, but funky awkward configuration. It would be much more convenient if they hold was perpendicular to the bag
