This is the one you want ST.....

You'll be surprised at the size of it when it comes! 

Really great for easy jacking up. But just got to practise lowering it as it suffers a little bit like AndyB says....lowering valve either on or off lol

However, having used it a lot I've got the nack to it now and I can lower slowly

That's what I have; a 3tonne jack needs to be lot more robust than the first one mentioned. It's bloody heavy, which is a good thing until you have to carry it indoors!

It was the best description I could come up with

[Webby the Bear]

Slightly cheaper and perfectly adequate.  Needs a rubber pad or ice hockey puck off the bay to compliment it.

Yep, exactly the same as the oppsin appalling one Daz had. The ome I have in black. The one TB has. Utter rubbish I'm afraid.

Yours might be ok, but give it time. I suppose they might the odd one that is passable on a production run.

[driver115]

got the sealey jack about a year ago /similar /same price - functional does the job, but unsure of long term reliability for the low price paid

[TheBoy]

The one TB has.

HAD, dear fellow, had. It is no more

Utter rubbish I'm afraid.

I wouldn't go that far. Its just there is so much better available for around the same price.

[chrisgixer]

Three I've encountered, all shite. I guess there must be a good one somewhere ?


Certainly not something I'd ever recommend to anyone else, given said experiences.

What about the Halfords ones? No idea about other stuff, but very pleased with the tools, or is this another bit of badge engineering?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I'm going to hold on for a bit as there's a really good auction near here where all sorts of workshop equipment turns up.   

So I'll see what I can find there.

AFAIK, Halfords only sell toy ones, often RAC branded?

[The Sheriff]

A jack is something I use if I have a puncture. Don't think I've had my scissor jack out for years.
