Cheap trolley jack?

[MrBounce]

I think it depends what you define as "Cheap". Halfrauds 2 tonne jack isn't a bad bit of kit for the price, but it will pale into insignificance against something from Clarke costing 4 or 5 times as much. Horses for courses.

Lidl have one sometimes for £15, it works and no matter how cheap or expensive the trolley jack is, always use axle stands, my old one was a good one, cant remember make but it still dropped on me without warning. good job axle stands were there

Oh and be careful where you jack... you dont want holes in your floor. (If you have a mk3 you already have these).

Always spread the load with a piece of wood if the jack in question has a narrow lifting platform.

Does the job fine, and will get under most cars.

Ye used axle stands lol. Not that dopey . Just the jack got to it's limit and I would of liked it just a lil bit higher to make it easier to see things.
