I'm looking for one myself, but would want to see one in real life first really to get a proper idea of size, as they could be measuring handle to handle for width etc

That one is WELL expensive mate

I got the Michellin one and ther is nowt wrong with it. Not very small though, its the same size as my big Sealey steel one that I use in the workshop so if your after a smaller one to take to track days etc I would say its not ideal. It was not quite what I was expecting anyhow.

Ive got this one:



Bought from Renton off of here, so worth sending him a PM to see if he can still get them.

I went for the steel not the ally as its flatter for longer so better for very low vehicles, its heavy as fuck but given that I never tend to lift it off the floor, that really doesnt make any difference to me so the ally one just seemed worse as a jack although it was better as porn, lol
