Inflatable jack

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...m300229030060&

Anyone ever use one of these? Im looking for a new jack, and was wondering if this would work as an occasional jack in the shop. I would get a normal floor jack, but for a little more, I could get a jack that I could use in the shop, and on the trail.

The thing I would worry about on that is that using exhaust to inflate, just what possible damage you could be doing by increasing the back pressure so much. Sort of like stuffing a potato in the exhaust pipe.

I saw this in a Jeep mag. about 2 months ago, I just rather use a reg. jack and not have a 4500 pound truck fall on me when it pops.

I would only use it to lift truck, then throw jack stands under. They say when/if it pops, it is a slow deflate.
