In this video I’m showing you a tool I picked up that fixes the biggest problem with most inflatable air shims: under real load they flex, curl, and sometimes give out. This is the AirShim Pro Steel, made in the USA, and it’s basically an “inflatable pry bar” or leveling tool that’s built for real loads. The big upgrade is the PowerLift steel plate on one side, which reinforces the bag so it stays flatter and gives you way more confidence when you’re lifting and holding weight—rated at 350 lbs (they say for an hour). Where this thing earns its keep is on installs. Setting cabinets, I slide it under, pump it up, and dial in height without prying or stacking shims right away—then shim after while it holds the load and I’m fastening. For doors, especially working solo, it’s super handy for lifting just enough to line up hinge knuckles and for micro-adjusting jamb reveals to keep things square. Flip the steel side up and it really shines on heavier, narrow loads where stability matters—like appliances—because it stays flat instead of curling around the load. Bottom line: it’s a precision inflatable shim with better control, safer lifting feel, and it makes the job more efficient.
