Decent Trolley Jack
« on: 29 February 2016, 11:32 »
Hi Guys,

I need to get myself a semi decent trolley jack. Can anyone recommend a mid level one?

My GTI is lowered so it needs to be low entry. Won't be used that much but needs to be of reasonably good quality (can't stand cheap tools!).

Looking at Sealey or Clarke.. Preferable with a case as I'd imagine it would do quite a lot of damage in the boot if taking it somewhere.

Thanks

Halfords professional/advanced. My gti was lowered by 30mm all round and it was a great piece of kit

I've got a liftmaster jack for lower cars that has been excellent and still going strong after a good 5 years usage.

Think I got it off eBay
