Newhai 20 ton 2” Hydraulic Ram Jack+ cp-180 Hand Pump with Pressure Gauge Hydraulic Porta Power 20 ton Kit Low Profile Short Cylinder

Used the jack to get into a tight spot between basement joists and foundation to repair termite damage. Worked flawlessly especially appreciate the 2 stage jack mechanism which allows it expand to about 2 inches rather than the 1/2”or so of a lot similar products. One thing to note was it was important to tighten the hose connection all the way. I used channel lock pliers, hand tightening was not sufficient. Probably why several reviews noted busting seals. Instructions were not very clear.

Was incredibly impressed on this one, used this tool to remove 15” bearings with ease, have completed 3 sets on bearings and going strong. Bang for your buck this has exceeded my expectations.

The jack failed after 15 minutes of use. Not sure if the problem was with the jack or the pump. The jack looked fairly substantial and well built. Returned it to Amazon. Revised review: Subsequent to my original review the seller reached out to me to try to rectify my disappointment with their product. I have returned the 20 ton jack and pump through Amazon and have ordered the 30 ton which comes with a more robust pump. Hopefully this will suit my needs. I’ll review again once I have received the new pump and have had an opportunity to use it. I am very satisfied with the customer support.

I wasn't able to unpack this until long after the return period expired. I wasn't too concerned, as the box was in very good shape. When I finally opened it I found the heavier parts inside an inner, very thick corrugated box and all looked good with no signs of fluid leaks. I set it up and tried to move the piston, but neither setting of the knob allowed any action or resistance on handle movement. Looking at the system more closely, I saw that the pressure gauge is mounted oddly. I saw this type of sealant in pictures in the listing, so I guess that is not a sure sign of rework. I wrote to the vendor at the suggested address. When they replied, they suggested I keep pumping. They also sent a video showing how to add fluid. I must have been close, because after another 20 strokes, the piston did move. Aside from the cockeyed gauge, it looks pretty well constructed, but be sure to test it quickly after receipt.

Using this for a homemade jewelry press, and wanted one with a pressure guage. Bigger hydraulic jacks are faster but way more expensive with gauges, so I think this one is worth it. Seems sturdy and well built.
