NoRemorse 5 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Its a nice looking jack but you could buy over 3 of these for the same price. I dont really see the point of buying an aluminium jack if its going to be actually heavier, bigger and have a lower lifting capacity than the one in this link? I bought one of these plus a hockey puck for £35. Tried it on the car this week to get the wheel off and it was great https://www.amazon.co.uk/Profile-Hydraulic-Trolley-Garage-Lifting/dp/B01H5GAE1Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498684378&sr=8-3&keywords=LOW+PROFILE+JACK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 111r 4 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The one recommended is quite light with a handy carry handle, extremely quick and the two part handle is useful for tight spots. It's worth the extra imo depending on your individual budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LF1 564 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I started with a cheap one. It blew up and poured hydrolic oil everywhere. Then cost me a fortune to return to get a refund but the seller would not cover all the return delivery costs. Quote Lotus Register - https://www.lotusregister.com Link to post Share on other sites
TonyKL 123 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 When I was buying mine I read many reports of failures from various 'cheaper' makes such as Clark. All the jacks I found all looked the same as these just in different colours or different branding. I didn't want to take the chance which is why I went for SGS. I'm happy with it and the best thing is I can fit it inside the lowest drawer of my Halfords tool chest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
