Default best trolley jack
im gonna treat myself to a decent trolley jack. it needs to be as low as possible to get under my car and preferably 2 tonne. got about 100 quid to spend.

can anyone recommend a good one?

costco one is better than that as it doesn't slope, its just low and flat the whole length so you can get further under the car.

weight does bother me as i do track days and carrying a big heavy jack around is a reall pain in the ass

the heavy jacks are ok if your not taking them any where

theres an old saying "you get for what you pay for "
