Well my old Proline jacks, two of them gave up the ghost and seals need doing, but saw this today and thought I would treat myself its rated 3 tonnes and weighs like 40Kg super heavy, but its not going anywhere except the garage at home.
Sorry for poor phone pics lost my Lumix somewhere!

got no excuse now lets wait for the defrost time though LOL!

Looks like you could get that under a pretty low car? maybe I need one of these.
as for brakes and defrost time! Tell me about it I need to bed my new brakes in on the mk2 but so far the weather has been Shyte so I can't :angry:
-
Wow, that could lift an entire mk4, that's a feat all on it's own :grin:
-
I hope you have got enough room in your garage to use it :grin:

My garage is 17 by 8, i've given up using the big 3 ton jack.
I've got a slightly smaller 2 ton jack now :rolleyes: :laugh:
-
always got an excuse jay :grin:
-
That looks identical to my Blue point one, twin ram, fast lift and only 72mm entry height.
You wont go wrong with that fella.

Nice!

do you have much room either side?
theres a garage going near me, 8x16ft, thinking i may take it if theres enough space to jack it up either side etc

Depends what car you have.
For a golf it is good enough, for an Audi or other saloon/estate it can be a bit tight.

This one is 89mm or 8.9cm height entry its not as low as my Proline ones, but more than enough clearance on a Dodge
Even 6cm I struggle to get under the MK2 as its an inch off the ground (not my doing)
I paid £80 odd for it not bad for the money considering resealing my other two might be about £30 each!
-
my old mans got one and they are really good. only down side is the rubber pads soft so wears away pretty quickly. mind you, his is in daily use being a mechanic.
-
I have one of these, they are fantastic I use it for my t4 lifts it easy, it's heavy though :laugh:
-
how much that set you back, i could do with a heavy duty jack
