Full details
The BLOSTM Air Wedge Pump Up Bag set is an essential tool for professional installers, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision during heavy-duty lifting, alignment, or positioning tasks.

FAQs
Can these be used to lift a car?
These are designed for alignment and small adjustments during repairs, not for lifting a vehicle off the ground for maintenance.
What is the maximum thickness of the wedge?
The wedge is designed to be slim for insertion and can expand to several centimeters to provide necessary lift.
Are these bags heat resistant?
They are made of durable polyurethane, but you should keep them away from high-heat sources or open flames to prevent melting.
Can I use these on finished hardwood floors?
Yes, the material is soft and non-abrasive, making it safe for use on finished hardwood and tiles.
How do I deflate the bag?
Simply press the quick-release button located near the pump bulb to allow air to escape slowly.
Does the set include anything besides the bags?
Yes, the kit includes two air wedges and four additional plastic wedges for extra support.
Troubleshooting
The bag loses pressure during use.
Check that the quick-release valve is fully tightened and that the bag is not positioned against a sharp, jagged edge that could cause a slow leak.
The bag is difficult to inflate.
Ensure the inflation tube is not kinked and the valve is correctly seated. Check for any blockages in the pump mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, ensure the area is free of sharp debris. Insert the deflated wedge into the desired gap, then squeeze the pump bulb repeatedly to inflate until the target object is raised to the desired level. Use the provided plastic wedges to stabilize the position if needed.
Compatibility: These bags are compatible with wood, metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. They are ideal for door hanging, window fitting, cabinet installation, appliance leveling, and automotive panel alignment.
Care: After use, release all air using the quick-release valve and wipe the bag clean with a damp cloth to remove dust or grit. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain the integrity of the rubber material. Avoid contact with sharp metal edges that could puncture the polyurethane skin.
