Looking to get a lightweight racing jack

anyone got one?

either clarke, draper (£180 !!) or sealey RJA1250 etc.

i got a funny feeling i read somewhere here on pf, that someone was complaining that they struggle to lift the weight claimed on the side of the box ?

 

You can get really good ones from Costco, arcan make.

 

need a membership though? cash and carry aint it?

 

Snap on doing one for £199 at the moment and you get a free mini toy alloy jack which is a fully working model ( these sell for £50 - £60 on ebay )

so works out a good buy

 

cheapest one on ebay even with the postage at £18 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CLARKE-LOW...ving_Equipment

 

Clarke ones are absolute crap. The bearings fall out of the wheels, they twist about and now one of the casters has come off

 

I have a clarke one, its perfect. Not one problem to date and it gets plenty of use believe me

 

i have a blue point one,and it is a very well built bit of kit,so much better than any of the competition,not over priced in my opinion either

 

machine mart £105.73

Had mine 2 years now NO faults

 

mines been spot on, had to tighten 1 bolt on the roller in the near 2 years I've had it, brilliant bit of kit for lowered cars, the max lift height isn't amazing but for the money its win win

 

And this one is a proper 2.5 tonne unit, not 1.8 like the cheaper versions....

 

hi i got a clarke one got on a vat free day cost about £80 had to take it back the caster wheel came off ,took it back and complained i did not get a replacement straight away they had to send to the repair workshops to be looked at got a msg two weeks later that i could have a new one got this one and i noticed all the nuts and bolts had come loose so i just loctited them with thread lock its been fine ever since it good for just lifting up for wheels or just the front .To tell you the truth if i could get my money back i would spend it on a much better one but i have a steel 3ton bluepoint that i have used for 14yrs and its still goin great so it doesnt get used much hope this helps ....Neil

 

3ton "beast" jacks, faultless!

 

i got this one and its been fine

I've heard the single wheel across the front style ones have fallen over and the one we use for track days is a twin wheel one and is spot on ! Just can't remember the make doh !

 

No problems with the Clark one here, got it about Xmas time from Costco when they were knocking them out for £80.

 

got one last week from VAT free day at machine mart, only 1.25 tonne but does for tyre changes, quite a nice bit of kit really, doesnt lift very high though.
got a Seally 3 ton jobby for bigger jobs, just a bit big for mauling out to swap your tyres round etc. perfect in a workshop though.
