Bargain low level jack...
Turbo Mini Forums

Right, i broke my old jack this week and decided to grab another one today, grabbed a low level halford unit, wasnt expecting it to be much cop but was happily supprised by the quiality for the price. Only cost 31 quid (cheaper than alot of lowlevel jacks) on a trade card! It bulky, the jacking arm swivels which has already proven to be very useful in the one day ive used it...



Worth bearing in mind if you want a half decent jack on a low budget... You can always peel the stickers off

Anyone local got a trade card? I'm in need of a new jack.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

In my local machine mart they was recently selling the alloy low level jacks for £70 too

I got a trade card. Be visiting the motherland at the weekend

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

Just looking they are only £40 without the card so maybe not worth you going out of your way

Yep halfords own.... Which to be fair isnt bad to say with some of there higher range of there tools nowadays. Rate the ratchet sets...

Ta!

My jack is a bit shit, i have to push it down after a certain point, and I've tried oiling the ram and all pivots, but considering what i paid for it along with axle stands, a pair of chocks and a creeper i can't grumble!

Fancy one of those alloy ones but every time I think about it they have just come off offer somewhere.

SGS are very good and cheaper still!

SGS are really good, I've got 4 sets of they're axle stands. I want they're ultra low jack next.

My SGS one died really quickly - pap imho.
My halfords one has lasted 12 years (!).

I just bought a Sealey 2500LE though - very nice indeed, but fookin' heavy and too big to use inside the garage..

Thats looks very much the same jack woyh different stickers! What are the odds there made in the same factory?

Quite likely. Clarke stuff looked very similar to when i was shopping around.

I got this set...

Its been really good, only issue is the rubber protecting pad gets squashed and falls out pretty soon.

not a lot of difference ?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Same money once you put the VAT on!

Well just gone and got one of these, its good but slow to jack up.

Fits under the clio and the metro with relative ease, no need for wooden blocks at the moment.

Snap-on except no substitutes

Own the day

I refuse to give garage space to any of the cheapo jacks which have that bloody silly system of removing the handle and finding the release valve to let them down.

I have three trolley jacks of varying sizes and often find the need to use them all (usually to get the car up high all round, on stands/ramps)

In an ideal world i think most people would do that but...tight budget over here. food comes first
