I splashed out on one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ARCAN-ALUMINIUM-1 ... 2535wt_939

I think it is the same one as costco were selling

Machine Mart do a low height one, perfect for getting under an elise.

I'll second that.

I think it's about £60 or so but quality is absolutely top notch

I have been looking at them too... to replace my under performing 2 tonne halfrauds jack. The Costco one looks good IMHO

Costco one is similar (same?) as this;

Would not recommend one of these style of jacks, I have had several and they never last;

Bought one of these in Costco the other day:

Cost £50 (give or take a few pence).

Decent low jack, with a long reach, and good high lift. Very sturdy. Ideal for keeping in the garage, not so ideal for taking to events, as it is quite heavy!

... not so ideal for taking to events, as it is quite heavy!

...and he's not joking, there are lighter fork-lifts .



It is a cool bit of kit if it's garaged based though.

After missing out on the B&Q half price thing, I ended up just getting one at full price from there. Wheel your old dear along for an extra discount on OAP day.
