Recommendations for Air-Operated Car Jack and Compressor

[Project Pat]

I know I'm not answering your question, but what I would do is get 2
aluminum HF jacks.
That way you can do one side at a time without messing with jack stands.
The rapid pump jacks get the car off the ground quick.

And for lug nuts, a cordless impact works great with no air hose hassle.
I like the Milwaukee brand.

Subject: Recommendations for Air-Operated Car Jack and Compressor

Looking for recommendations to go shopping for an air compressor and
associated add-ons. The key add-on would be an air-operated jack for jacking
up the car. Beyond that, a general purpose air compressor for the occasional
car or bike tire that needs air. Long term, the possibility of an add on for
a paint gun, or even pneumatic drill might exist, although they're not
needed now.

Ever since winter tires became mandatory where I live, most shops doubled
the prices they charge to swap summer to winter tires. Since both my sets of
tires are on their own wheels, for the past couple years I've just jacked
the car up in the garage and changed the tires. I'm using the scissor jack
that came with the car, and I've got two solid jack stands to bear the
weight for safety. But it is a bit of a pain jacking up all 4 wheels, twice
each year. If there was an inexpensive option for a pneumatic jack that
would make the job a bit easier, I'd like to look into it. Last winter I did
some shopping online but didn't find anything that was highly recommended at
a good price.

Thanks for any suggestions
MC
