Brockhage air wedge. Worth it or not?

I don't expect anyone to go into any detail, i would just like to know if it is worth the thirty-five bucks. And if it supplies ample room for a 1\4" piece of round stock.

Worth the money.We normally use two bags on car door.One bag will allow your round stock to work.Provided it is not an Merc or Volvo door.

Anyone doing any sort of automotive opening should have at least one of these things, and most of the time, should have two or more.

If you are just starting, get a small and a large one. They are indespensible tools.

Agreed, they are simply a must have tool for the box,

They are also useful in many other situations for one example they can be placed under a door that your fitting and pumped up with your foot to raise the door to the right height for screwing the hinges on,

Ive only got 3 or 4 and are all HPC ones but from what ive seen of the others they are all the sameness and i would simply go for the cheapest ones you can find, they all seem to be the same quality etc,

Well I strongly recoomend the High-Tech air wedge, the big one, reason being cause it has like a sheet of hard plastic in the middle that maske the wedge sturdy in order to insert it much easier through the crack.
