low entry trolley jack

[liam_b]

not sure if this is the right place for it but u lot use jacks alot
well after 3 years of using a halfords jack i think its time to get a half decent one that doesnt try to fall over when i use it and not having to drive my car onto two bits of wood so it will fit under the car.

i will be using the jack for diy use but i do alot of diy ally ones are nice and light and are 5/6mm lower than the heavy duty one

witch one out of these 3 would you guys you go for? going to order tonight

Used my alloy one loads with no issues.

Mine has wheels though and not the roller bar on the front.

Arcan ones which alot get at costco I use.

[Fulch]

Can you buy from Costcos?

[Bedford126]

the clark ones pictured above are shite they upgraded the fronts to castor wheels now not the roller bar as the axel in it use to snap but i have had mine for about a year now it gets used atleast 3 times a day and works spot on never had a problem.

[liam_b]

how much do the clark ones go for?

I would go for the last one you posted, You don't want to be buying cheap on things like jacks

[Tontsy]

to lift your car, you'd need a fucking crane!

Not read the whole thread.

Depending on your budget snap-on do a really good one. 70mm's high, according to the picture in their brouchure it's as high as a can of pop laying down.


Knowing snap-on though it won't be cheap.

[dave-in-the-saxo-vtr]

Don't buy an alloy one mate they are very weak and easily break....I had one snap in the mid frame on me while under the car!!!! Luckily I had some timber support that the car landed on before my head!!!!
