VEVOR 3-Ton Electric Scissor Jack Kit: No More Manual Cranking at the Roadside
If you’ve ever changed a tyre on the hard shoulder in the rain, you already know the worst part isn’t the wheel — it’s kneeling in the gravel, cranking a manual scissor jack by hand while traffic rushes past. It’s slow, it’s exhausting, and on a cold night it can take longer than the actual wheel swap.
Den VEVOR 3-ton electric scissor jack removes that whole ordeal. Plug it into your car’s 12V socket, press the button, and the jack raises the vehicle to full height in around two minutes while you stay upright and out of the way. This guide covers exactly what the kit does, what’s in the box, and who it suits.
What the VEVOR 3-Ton Electric Scissor Jack Actually Does
At its core this is a motorised version of the manual scissor jack most cars carry from the factory — but instead of a folding handle, it uses a 12V electric motor to drive the screw. That single change transforms a two-minute physical workout into a hands-free, push-button lift.
The jack is rated at 3 tonnes (6,600 lbs), which comfortably covers the vast majority of saloons, hatchbacks, estates, and smaller SUVs. It reaches full extension in roughly two minutes, so a complete tyre change becomes a genuinely quick job rather than a chore.
Lifting Range and Saddle Options
One of the smarter parts of this kit is that it ships with two saddles — a short head and a long head — so you can match the lift range to your car’s ground clearance.
| Configuration | Minimum height | Maximum height |
|---|---|---|
| Short head | 130 mm | 370 mm |
| Long head | 170 mm | 420 mm |
The short head slides under lower vehicles, while the long head gives you extra maximum height for taller cars and light SUVs. Because the jack must sit under the manufacturer’s designated jacking point, having both options means you’re far more likely to get a clean, safe fit whatever you drive.
Power Options: Cigarette Socket or Direct to Battery
The VEVOR jack draws its power from your car’s 12V electrical system, and the kit gives you two ways to connect:
- 12 V sigarettenneruttak — the quickest option for most roadside situations, using the included cigarette lighter cable.
- Direct battery connection — the kit includes battery clip cables for when you’d rather draw power straight from the battery terminals, or if your socket only works with the ignition on.
The power cable is a generous 11.5 ft, so you have plenty of slack to route it from the socket to the jacking point without the car’s bodywork getting in the way.
What’s in the Box
VEVOR packages this as a complete roadside kit rather than just a bare jack. Inside you’ll find:
- The 3-ton electric scissor jack
- Two saddles (short head and long head)
- Cigarette lighter power cable
- Battery clip cable for direct connection
- 3 TÜV-certified spare fuses
- Work gloves
- Carrying case that doubles as a roadside warning triangle
That last detail is genuinely useful: the case isn’t just storage, it opens out to act as a warning triangle, so a single item covers both jacking and roadside visibility.
Important: This particular kit does ikke include an electric impact wrench. If you want a jack bundled with a powered wrench for loosening lug nuts, that’s a separate variant. The 3-ton scissor jack kit is focused on the lifting side of the job.
Safety and Correct Use
An electric jack is only as safe as the surface it stands on. The VEVOR must be used on a flat, stable surface — tarmac or firm level ground, not soft verges, gravel banks, or a slope. As with any jack, always engage the parking brake, chock the opposite wheels, and never place any part of your body under a vehicle supported only by a jack. For work beyond a quick wheel change, use axle stands.
The three included TÜV-certified spare fuses matter more than they first appear: the motor is fuse-protected, so if you ever draw too much current, the fuse blows rather than the motor, and you can be back in service in seconds with a replacement.
Who Is This Jack For?
The VEVOR 3-ton electric scissor jack is ideal for:
- Everyday drivers who want a stress-free way to handle a flat tyre without physical strain
- Older drivers or anyone with limited mobility for whom manual cranking is genuinely difficult
- Commuters and long-distance drivers who want a compact, self-contained emergency kit in the boot
If you regularly work on heavier vehicles or need more lift height, the VEVOR 5-Ton Hydraulic Car Jack with Built-In Inflatable Pump steps up both the capacity and the maximum lift, and adds a built-in tyre inflator into the bargain. For most standard cars, though, the 3-ton scissor jack is the lighter, simpler, and more affordable choice.

How long does it take to lift a car?
The VEVOR 3-ton electric scissor jack reaches full height in around two minutes, all hands-free once you’ve positioned it correctly.

No. This 3-ton scissor jack kit does not include an electric impact wrench — that’s offered as a separate variant. This kit focuses on lifting and includes two saddles, cables, gloves, spare fuses, and the case.
What surface can I use it on?
Only a flat, stable surface such as level tarmac or firm ground. Never use it on a slope, soft verge, or loose gravel.
