Heavy-Duty Airbag Tool Handy For Projects
 ✖  |
The AirShim Pro STEEL is the first “no-sag airbag” with a built-in steel PowerLift plate. “This innovative new product solves a problem common to all standard airbags and offers a game-changing solution for construction, remodeling and other installation professionals,” says Mark Paulsen, Vice President of Marketing at Calculated Industries.
Overall, the AirShim is contractor-grade and capable of handling 350 lbs. “The patent-pending PowerLift steel plate prevents the airbag from folding around narrow loads and eliminates loads bouncing during lifts,” Paulsen says. “This unique design allows for stable, controlled lifting of doors, windows, cabinets, equipment and appliances, even with narrow and small-footprint loads.”
The AirShim Pro STEEL is well-suited for projects where other airbags fail. It doesn’t leave marks or damage surfaces, and the steel plate helps prevent punctures, extending the tool’s life.
The AirShim PRO has a 2-in-1 design. With the steel side up, it stays flat, with no folding, for faster lifts with less pumping. This is ideal for heavy, narrow loads and edges. With the steel plate side down, it grips lighter, narrower loads, preventing them from sliding off. The even force distribution prevents damage and ensures precise, controlled lifts.
It’s ideal for installing or leveling windows, doors, cabinets and even washing machines. “Farm homes always have doors and windows to install and make level and plumb, wobbly appliances to lift to adjust leg heights, cabinets and furniture to lift onto sliders to move, etc.,” says Paulsen.
“The AirShim Pro STEEL is also great for installing or repairing heavy gates. It can lift and hold the far end in place temporarily, making it easier to align hinges or brackets at the post. You can also use it to level small machinery during setup or maintenance or to lift, support and align piping to be welded or bolted onto valves and flanges. And, of course, it’s great for shop work.”
The AirShim is well-suited for one-hand operation, ensuring that solo installers can work without risk. Many users consider it a steady “extra hand” to free them up during installation.
Customer reviews prove that many find that the metal plate handles heavy weight easily without causing the shim to bulge from the door slab. Other users appreciate that the Shim’s bright color makes it hard to leave behind accidentally. “It’s like having an extra hand around whenever you need it,” says Paulsen. “You’re pretty much only limited by imagination.”
AirShim Pro STEEL is lab-tested and certified by SGS to support 350 lbs. for an hour without leaking. The bag measures nearly 6 in. by 8 in. and is approximately 1/8 in. when deflated and 2 5/8 in. when fully inflated. Weighing just 5 oz., it comes with a one-year warranty.
It costs about $20 and is available on Amazon, at select Home Depot store locations, and on the Home Depot website.
