The Winbag is a very powerful hand operated inflatable air cushion made of fiber reinforced material. It is designed to provide a maximum pressure of up to 220 lbs and can be used to replace shims and wedges in a wide variety of applications. It gives the user infinite adjusting possibilities for example when installing windows, positioning heavy doors, leveling furniture, kitchen cabinets and household appliances. The Winbag can even be used as an effective door stopper.

Until I found Winbag I thought that I might have taken on too much for one person. Each shutter has three heavy iron lift-off hinges which all have to be aligned at once. Lifting the shutters, which are over 50kilos each and 2.5 meters high, into position with what has to be pin-point accuracy would normally take 2 to 3 people.
I achieved this by placing the shutters against their frames and resting them on my Winbag on the ground. It was then a matter of holding the shutters steady and inflating the Winbag to lift the hinges over their respective pins. Of course you can then not reach down to inflate the WINBAG’s – unless you do it by remote control…using your foot Even wearing heavy protective site boots I found that I still had very precise control.
