Default So the STOOPID jacking point broke

OMG any moron could tell that this design is awful, it's just bound to break, that's completely obvious.

So anyway, as luck had it, I didn't get injured, was still jacking the car up - but had I been sitting in a slightly different postion as I wound the handle, the jack might have broken my leg as it came crashing down.


So now I own a trolley jack. £16.99 for a 2 ton jack from Motor World, not bad I thought, the same jack in HalFrauds was £29.99.

a good trolley jack costs bout £40 if you have no axel stands
throw the wheel underneath the car as a backup "expensive or not "
metal can be replaced "LEGS ARE PRICELESS"
