Default What trolley jack do you have?

Hi, I need a new trolley jack as mine is leaking badly, It just for home use but needs to lift a corner of my land rover collection and also smaller cars 106 / micra etc.

I can only find the small halfords in a case type that will not last with my abuse or full size work shop jobbey is there anything out there that will lift a range rover and easy to stick in the boot of my car to take to around for family cars.

The sealey ones are good jack my mate has one but a bit big and heavy for the boot, otherwise I'd go for that.

The blue alloy racing jacks sold under various brand names are a bit so so. Nice and light, and low so they get under lowered cars, but mine is leaking and goes down slowly - it comes with a seal kit which I need to do but has only lasted 18 months before it's time to do the seals.
