The Blue Spot Tools Reinforced Fibre Inflatable Air Wedge is a pump-inflated lifting tool for use around the home. Rated to 135kg, it takes on heavy appliances, furniture, and door or window fitting jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the difference between an air wedge and an air shim?
  The terms are often used interchangeably. An air shim typically refers to a stiffer-edged version with an internal frame for easier insertion into tight gaps. An air wedge is the broader term for any inflatable wedge-shaped lifting bag.

• Can one person use an inflatable air wedge without assistance?
  Yes. The pump bulb inflates with one hand, freeing the other to support or guide the object being lifted or aligned.

• What is the difference between an inflatable air wedge and wooden shims?
  Wooden shims come in fixed sizes and cannot be adjusted once placed. An inflatable wedge lets you increase or reduce the lift at any point during the job. It also removes the risk of the shim splitting or slipping under load.

• Are inflatable air wedges reusable?
  Yes. After each use, deflate it fully, check for signs of wear, and store it flat in a clean, dry place. With regular checks, the same wedge can handle many jobs over time.

• How should I store an inflatable air wedge when not in use?
  Deflate it fully before putting it away. Store it flat in a dry location, away from sharp edges or objects. Avoid repeated sharp folds in the same spot, as this can weaken the material over time.
