Default Snap-on Trolly jack

In the current snap on flyer they have a 3 tonne trolly jack on offer. Has anyone bought/used one of these as im thinking about treating myself.

Is it the 4 pump beast jack? If so, I bought one a few weeks ago, great jack and a good price especially for snap on.

Yea, hats the one. Is the quality good then as it is a lot of money compared to the 3 tonne machine mart sell.

My snap on dealer said he would do it for £180 all in so its a small saving of £9.

I've had no problems with mine, can't vouch for the machine mart one but good thing about snap on is you can spread the payments.

Well I bough one. Very impressed with the build of it. What a fookin weight it is! It is so much easyer doing jobs on the car with this as opposed to using the leaking halfords jobby I was using!

Would reccomend one to anyone!

Hey, just wondering if chose snap on for any reason? did you shop around to find they were better.

I only ask because I often go somewhere else They are good when it comes down to price and quality. I be honest I have heard snap on are rather cheap and lack quality.

Any one else have there preferences? I know there's quite a few to choose from.

For me, i thought it was a good price for a Snap on jack, and it's also convenient because hecomes to our dealer every wednesday, so i can pay it off bit by bit and if there's any problem with it, i haven't got to take it to him.

I do agree though, snap on stuff in general doesn't seem to be the same quality as it used to be.
