Trolley Jack

[Rob Spec C]

Looking for a good quality car jack if anyone knows the best place? I can get what looks like a decent one in the motor factors for 130 plus vat. Anyone got one or know where you can get a good one at a decent price?

There's a nice one on Micksgarage.com. I have one and its good for 2 tonnes. Small and handy if you just need to jack it up for something small.

Hi Rob,

I have a Sealey Race Jack 2.5t and it is brilliant!

The advantage is that it is a proper heavy duty pro quality, but still light enough to lift and/or take with you... and has extra low entry which I found I needed when was trying to lift blue Blob and couldn't get under it with a normal trolly jack (like one on Micksgarage). . Has quick action to raise to full height in only few pumps (when no weight on it).

Paid €225 (that was trade price as was up for 280) at local factors about 8 years ago. I had Here's a link to their site (only difference is that mine doesn't have front wheels, but a solid cylinder between the two red sides and seems a lot dearer now than what I paid). Is the proper job though as won't ever have issues getting under car as you'd have with normal jacks. http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilder.asp?id=20&method=mViewProduct&productid=16354

Cant find the one on micks garage, only one there is a 1.25tonne.

Ye, that sealey one is mad money now.

This is the one I was looking at.

 

[Rob Spec C]

Thanks tom, I'll look him up and see.

Have a aldi one and halfords axel stands never a problem
and have a meal out with the money ya save

 

[Rob Spec C]

What does the aldi one look like Keith? Is it similar to this halfords one? http://www.halfords.ie/motoring-tra...cks-axle-stands/halfords-2-tonne-trolley-jack

 

[Rob Spec C]

Actually this one looks pretty decent: http://www.halfords.ie/motoring-tra...vanced-3-tonne-quick-lift-garage-trolley-jack

And halfords will always take it back if something goes wrong with it, could be the job

Rob check out richie in proparts they do trolley jacks at a decent price depending on stock at the time

 

[keith dublin]

My one looks better than the 1st one
always using it with no bother think it was 29 Euro
I have seen the same Jack in motorfactors for sale
it's yellow and red

 

[Rob Spec C]

This it Keith?

 

[keith dublin]

No looks better than that

 

[diesel tom]

Sorry it's 2 tone

 

[keith dublin]

That looks the business Tom nice and low.
you probably use it every day I just couldn't justify spending 2 or 3 hundred quid on something you probably use 5 times a year

 

[scoobysub]

Cheap in the long run as will last for years

 

[diesel tom]

Don't hold me to that price I was trying to find my old invoice I think that was actually only €145 euro wasn't mad money but a great great jack gets used for all sorts lifting off trailers off drawbars with diggers or rollers on them

 

[keith dublin]

Have my one 11 years Joe use it probably about 15 times a year and its as good as the day I got it

I have the aluminium racing jack. Good jack and a feather to move about only about 120 I think. Only bother single wheel on front might not be great on gravel. Or if ya see a sealey offer sheet in factor thinks there is a trolley jack on offer front page can't think what price.
But also have a lidl special and it never let me down to be fair.

I've got the LIDL job for around 30E.
5 years and 6 cars and still going strong
only few weeks ago I used it to fit the splitter and
while my head was fully under the bumper I reminded myself
that Im in the hands of LIDL product.. but I lived to tell the story
