Super low car jack

[RDH]

I'm in need of a car jack but I need one that can get under my car, which is very low. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Costco do a low entry trolley jack. I've got one good bit off kit. Have a search if you want to see pics of it it's been brought up a few times.

The arcan 3ton one from costco is good, I've got one. Also got a clarke one from machine mart retail bout 90 quid which tbh is dangerous in my opinion

 

[RDH]

Cheers lads I'm a member of Costco myself so will have to have a ride up!

 

[Craigus]

Get a regular one and start it off with your scissor jack? Thats what I do.

Just to echo what's been said, Arcan Jack. One of the best things I ever bought tool wise.

I also have the jack from costco, literally the best tool I have bought!

+1 on the 3te Costco jack... Only downside being it weighs 3te itself!

+1, no need to go to the gym when you've got one of these jacks.

Thanks for the advice lads, been a picked one up today. Nice bit of kit and a decent price too!

 

[Adamm.]

How much?

 

[RDH]

66 quid but with the VAT added it came to £80. Was expecting more tbh.

 

[JackJack]

Nice, always used sealey jacks and been happy with them cost a bit more than 80£ though.

 

[Adamm.]

Ohh not bad.

Just bought one and its nice and light, only 1 1/4 ton lifting capacity but it's not like I'm lifting that anyway so I cant see why it would be dangerous as not normal dan says...?

Yeah, for the clio and Fabia it's been fine so far.

We just drive ours onto two bits of chipboard, then use a normal jack.

I have the Clarke one and even used it this afternoon on my mates Vectra diesel barge that weighs about 30tonnes it did creak a bit but is fine..

Nice and light and even fits into the boot in the MX5 easily..

Although I am tempted by one of the Arcan ones and keep the clarke one for trackdays etc..

The Clarke ones are good, especially if your gonna be chucking it in an out of cars (I have one myself) but the Arcana one is better built an more stable. I have both lol

The Arcana does go higher though an lifts more but it weighs a ton itself lol

 

[Jaff.]

So the Clarke isn't dangerous then

I picked it because it's really light and really low it also lifts my car fine so I'm happy with it

 

[biojo]

I got this cos im too tight to by the costco one

they do a cheaper one too, fitted under my car when lowered

 

[RDH]

Mine has paid for itself 10 times over already, vital bit of kit. Although it weighs a bloody tonne!

I bought one of these about a year back http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liftmaste..._Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item3a74ccd372 .its super light, very low, quick jacking action, has led lights so you can see where your jacking and it lifts the whole back end of my 20 tonne mondeo no bother.
Good bit of kit for the money.
