The new AirShim XL inflatable pry bar and leveling tool is designed for professional users. New shape allows you to lift or move loads faster, easier and higher than typical square-shaped cushions. A single installer can position and hold items in place, saving jobsite time and reducing labor costs by providing a much-needed extra hand in installations. It’s perfect for window and door installers, interior construction professionals, installers of appliances and small equipment, other skilled craftsmen and serious DIYs.
CONTRACTOR GRADE FEATURES – Professional level 500 pound load holding capacity certified by SGS. Fully inflated 3” gap-spanning capability means greater lifting range and the ability to handle more jobs. Rounded corners and internal “stiffener” allows the AirShim XL to be inserted (crammed) into tighter spaces without bending. LIFTS HIGHER AND FASTER – smaller diameter reduces wrapping or folding around narrow-edged loads. Plus, the longer surface contact area lifts the load faster and with improved stability, providing greater load lifting capacity and safety. Lifting ability varies by work surface and position of the AirShim XL under the load. LIFT, SHIFT, ALIGN, LEVEL and PLUMB – by utilizing multiple AirShim XLs below, above, left and right of heavy objecpts you can fine-tune their positioning with easy adjustments from all 4 sides resulting in faster, more secure placements.
SIMPLE ONE-HAND OPERATION – AirShim XL’s powerful hand pump quickly inflates to lift or move loads, while the durable precision push button bleed valve allows for controlled deflations exactly to your mark.
REDUCES SURFACE DAMAGE – Unlike wooden shims, wedges and metal pry bars, the AirShim XL poses no risk of damage to surrounding surfaces.

Worked great on stabilizing my washing machine
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!

Well made and gets the job done easily!
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 couldnât 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. Iâm 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 didnât include a picture of the back glass, but it is just as perfect).The only regret I have is that I didnât 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 youâre 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 1.5â 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!

Tool assist
My husband loves loves the jimmies to help him work has used them non stop and claims it has saved in time and his back. Definitely worth valve and great design.

Great concept!
I never knew this product existed! I attempted to use this for my fridge that was slightly tilted and while I tried inflating it, the ball kept popping off and there must have been a leak or something. While it moved the fridge up slightly, the air was leaking and made me very nervous to stick my fingers to adjust the legs with the risk of it just falling. Could have gotten defective items.

Worked like a charm! Iâd wanted to clean my washer filter for a long time but I couldnât reach the screws from the bottom of the front panel, but finally with this I was able to lift my washer enough to reach in without any help or strain. I would definitely recommend this product, itâs very stable and simple to use.

Really durable! I am a carpenter and have used many similar products and this one holds up well . I use it to hang doors , install cabinets, and adjust appliances mostly, but I found it very useful for many things you need to pry gently. Would definitely recommend this and itâs priced right.

You know when you buy something and it immediately feels cheap and nasty and you mentally prepare for it break soon. This is NOT to be said about this product. Feels super sturdy. Lifted my fridge and aligned my dishwasher with it. And yes, it helped after I locked my car keys inside the car. I will get another
