jack

[The Radman]

my trolley jacks finally packed in the other day there was a pool of oil coming from it its done well though for a cheapo so i now fancy 1 of those aluminium low lift jobbies, can anyone recomend anything for around a £100? there seem to be a lot of diff makes around and presumably some of them are cheapo foreign efforts so id like a tried and tested one

[the youth]

machine mart do one that my m8's used for a while with no probs

Hazet has very long and very low one: 214-2.

[Dave]

Speak to seatcover Ben Nick, he got me a cracking ally jack for around £90

[The Radman]

just had a look at machine mart one it looks ok, panza the hazet one looks but ive never heard of them over here
ill have a word with ben then dave,whats it like any pics?

[Dave]

I'll get you a pic tonight mate

Hazet do a lot of tools but they're mainly on the continent like Facom & Beta, not bad quality either

[Ben Purnell]

ha ha I'm here, it was about £83 inc vat I think from costco

Have used it a few times and proper impressed with it

Franco has one that I got him also, he may be able to give you a better verdict since his car is in bits lol

What's the lift height on these one's Ben? When I look in the machine mart catalogue the low level ones have about half the lift height of a standard trolley jack?

I keep thinking that it's easier to just drive up on a couple of bits of wood and use a standard size trolley jack and have the car at a better height for working?

If you can get one that's both low level and high lift then it's a win win!!

[Ben Purnell]

Dan, think its around 500mm or just shy of that, its an arcam one will check when I next go out for a smoke

[Ben Purnell]

sorry its an Arcan one not the high end audio people

and it does raise to around 500mm, its a sturdy piece of kit that is pretty light for a 2 ton jack

[Dave]

Placed under the rear diff it will take the back wheels 200mm off the floor

[Ben Purnell]

what's your thoughts on it then Dave, I presume you're happy with it

I take it you have just gone out and jacked the car up

[Dave]

I like it, nice and easy to use

I know thats how far it lifts as it will just fit one of my wheel stands under

[BUSYBOY]

i,ll just keep useing my 2 shitty little ones & blocks of would should i ,lol


its true what si said about you
