Post a photo of it if you can as I have a3.5 t Clarke that has given me nothing but trouble,( on our third one now ) and it's just a branded item from Far East,would be interesting to see if it's the same as yours .

It would be interesting to see if the jack can actually lift (and support) the claimed weight.
Everything I have purchased that has the Rolson brand name has fallen apart in under 3 months from purchase.

Certainly lifts the miggy, no real plans to lift anything heavier.

Nope , different . Here's the turd of a thing I'm talking about. Cant really complain really 'cause I returned the first one to Argos and got my money back but Clarke keep sending me replacements when I tell them it's faulty . There's another brand new unopened one in the box below ::)

Rolson= Chinese tat >:( With tools as anyone with any experience with them will tell you "you get what what you pay for". I payed £208.00 for a King Dick socket set the other month for my job, but this set will last me a life time. As it happens it will, i haven't used it yet, because just after i bought it i was made redundant ;D I haven't even undone a nut with it >:( :( :'( :-[

I didn't know you could still get them. It's been years since I last saw any. I think I've got the odd spanner. Snail is another I've not seen for years.

Yes they're doing well. They have a supply contract with Rolls Royce through my mates Engineering Supplies & lots of others too. If you need a tailored made/be-spoke set making for a certain application, they'll make it up for you. I wanted hex sockets instead of 12s which was a special order. They had no problem doing it for me :y :y :y

Thought about that, but there ain't one big enough to cope with the amount of front I have ;)

You ain't wrong there...I wouldn't fancy testing that to capacity with the footprint it has

Is it just me or does Rolson Jacks seem like a really good name for a blues singer?
;) ;D ;D ;D
-
Rolson seems to be a brand name you see everywhere these days - usually at a quarter of the price of the nearest equivalent. I've bought a couple of bits and pieces and with limited use they do they job. But the quality isn't up to much and I dont think they'd be up to frequent/heavy use.
Don't think I'd be confident about using a jack from them. :(

A lot of these cheap tools (and that includes most of the machine mart / Clarke offerings) come by the container load from China and just get badged up as Rolson, Clarke, or whatever by the retailer.
Some is reasonable stuff, some total rubbish. A guy I know has a few contacts with purchasers in China and has organised a couple of "bulk buys" of a container load of this type of stuff in the past. Without the retail markup on it's amazing how cheap it is.
King Dick tools are very nice. Got let loose with a cabinet load of them a couple of years back building a Westfield at a car show. The whole cabinet got raffled off when we'd finished the build. Sadly my number didn't come up. :'(

It's not just tools from China Kevin. Lots of electrical goods, tv's etc., from Eastern Europe, look exactly the same, have the same manual, but are branded differently.
