This is a handy little tool, and well worth the cost. After purchasing my first Winbag, I promptly ordered a second. I use it for it’s marketed purpose - as an inflatable shim, but I was turned on to it while searching for the tow truck equivalent for vehicle lockouts. I have not used it for that. It’s not advertised as such.Right away, I went off to level my new washer. The Winbag acted as a jack on one side while I adjusted the legs. Last week, I had to cut down or adjust two doors that began dragging on the floor. We’ve all balanced a door on the tip of our shoe or something while rehanging it. Two Winbags under the door allowed me to very easily get the door into perfect position and install the hinges.Today, I found its use for cleaning and furniture refinishing. I used a Winbag to jack up the side of a heavy antique dresser so I could get the legs off the carpet to detail clean them. Then while applying a new shellac coat to an old dining room hutch, I used a Winbag to jack up one side off the carpet to apply the finish to the very bottom. Just now, it lifted one side of my very heavy oak dining room table.This is indispensable for the DIYer/handyman/homeowner. For $15, it pays to have one or two of these in your toolbox for that time you need a second hand to lift, tilt, hold, etc. and who knows - maybe some day I’ll need it to get into a car!
