Trolley Jack Recomendations

[TheRoninV6]

Anybody recomend a decent low profile trolley jack around the 200 quid mark?

Motorworld sell one £17 its two tone capacity. Its 135mm height and extends as high as 330 or so I think which is ample.

£200?! Strweth, thats a fair wad on a jack!

I got a 2ton one for a tenner from Makro. The lowering mechanism is a bit unsubtle but it was low enough to get under the skirts on my old Corsa and even had my loaded works van on it with no problems.

Mine was a cheapy argos set.. before they stuck the RAC stamp on it.

For the whole kit, cost me about 16 quid as it was an end of the line thing, does the job, and the axle stands are alright aswell, still holding my car up

Deamon tweeks do a 3 tonne low level jack for about £80 IIRC, proper garawge one though, so too heavy to lug around to places really

the pictures dont really do the jack justice, they make it look small. It is much bigger than it looks.

That looks lovely.

I have a 2.5 tonne JCB one which I got for JS - The missuss father is General Manager of sales for the non-machinery division.

might have to look into the argos one as the catalogue index are closing down so might have something similar
