Default Low entry trolley jack.

Looking to get a low entry trolley jack, dont want to spend too much. The Clarke aluminium racing jack from such as Machine Fart seems to have a terrible reputation.

Any one have any recommendations?

Definately, the michelin one the cheapest i've seen is £180. Its a really good jack that as well. Very low, quick to raise and good height. Mate has one for his racing porsche.

The Arcan one is a bit dear on ebay at £99 as Rallyclol said costco about £56 + vat for the twin front wheels ones that are a lot more stable than the single roller ones, we use two of them when we go rallying and have brought and sold loads of them if you are down south I have a card and could get you one if the money is up front

Don't want to be buying one and then being stuck with it!

I have the cotsco one too, and it was 92 quid all in. Was earlier this year.
But I was in there last week, and they have it again, in blue, mines silver and it was the same price.
