## Description

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.

Review: 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 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: The AirShim is made in China.

**Q: What are the dimension of the cushion, itself?  Just the square part, not counting the pump aparatus, or the deflated thickness.  Thanks**
A: Hi, thanks for your interest in our products.  The bag is 6" x 6.5" on sides; approximately 1/16" high when deflated, 2-1/2" when fully inflated. Hope this answers your question.

**Q: Is this good for when you get your keys lock in your car?**
A: Yes, though not it's intended usesge.

**Q: I need to lift my refrigerator to put some appliance rollers underneath.  Can I use this to lift the entire refrigerator? Or maybe use two air shims?**
A: I'm not sure if it would take one or two to lift a  refrigerator, but I think you could lift one corner with one, insert the wheel and then move to the next corner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for the Job at Hand
*by D***J on March 17, 2024*

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.
