Michelin Trolley Jack

[Brian]

I purchased the above other day and just wondered if anyone has one and how the rate it. Seems to be fairly good imo, but then i'm not an expert

 

[J203425]

dont have one but from the pic it looks pretty good, better than the draper one I've got for sure.

How much did it cost?

 

[Renault_Boy01]

i've got a rolson one... i've had it for a year now and it hasn't faulted yet

your michelin one looks quite sturdy too.. how many tonnes can it hold ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nice! how much?

 

[Andyman]

Looks lovely

Any mods planned ?

 

[Brian]

It wern't the cheapest in the world, but then you 'usually' get what you pay for. £113 inc. del.

It claims to lift 1.5 ton.
Mods? pmsl - no, but now you've mentioned it, perhaps the odd sticker - or would that be classed as vandalism?

I've got the same design, different model, but it doesn't say michelin on it

very low, very good so far

p.s.: it lifts A8 4.0 TDI easily

Im getting mine this week, cheaper than that as well!!!!

Looks tidy, never used it though. Ihave a simalar one...

My normal jack didnt fit under the Willy. Got this beast now, lifts the cup so high i can put ramps uner the front wheels..

cheap aswell, weighs a ton though.

 

[G_F]

Where did you buy it from Brian? and whats the min and max heights?

 

[Brian]

I got it off Ebay, Although I think we should be asking PYE21 where he's getting his as it's cheaper. Lifting range is 82 to 445mm aprox

Mine was 7.99 + VAT from Makro, and it's never let me down.

Is this the red one that comes with 2 x Axle stands as well?

I got that one, is a great jack and so cheap lol.

 

[TomTom]

Brain that looks really well made actually, get what you pay for I suppose, should last a lifetime

Lol Mark, does the job though!

I had one out the Argos catalogue for about £15 with 2 stands that was ace just to pickup and throw in the boot and drive to a quick job.
Got a 3tonne one from MachineMart now though, same brand as gavfre's, can't fault it atall, its got a little leg aswell you can pump with your foot is quite a good touch, and its sturdy as anything, Its one of those jacks you can trust 'just to have a quick look underneath' without stands - yes I know I should use stands

Shiiiiiiiny

I need to get a new one.. my sturdy old thing I got from Halfords won't fit under the 172's skirts

 

[Brian]

nice, is it as 'lightweight' as it says?

Yes, I'd say it is as lightweight as it's ever gonna be tbh, havn't got any thing to compare to though..
