Need a trolley jack as I keep having to borrow a mates.

Having used a Halfords 2tonne jack, I can immediately rule it out as the quality of product plus the associated axle stands left me feeling quite uneasy about actually being under my car. I'm nearly sure that the Halfords trolley jacks are made my Draper so can only assume they exactly the same(they certainly look it).

Any suggestions sub £100 mark?

Arcan 2(.5?)t aluminium jack from Costco for 90 incl vat.

I've got one, and it's brilliant.

Another vote for the Arcan jack.

ooh that looks pretty slick! plus it looks quite low which is handy. Don't think we have Costco in NI, so i'll have to do some internet snooping!

Thanks!

You could look at Auto Express tests, however, advice I was given was to view the jacks beforehand and to go for one with a reasonably wide track with decently sturdy axles and wheels. The cheapest/smallest ones can be quite narrow and give worries about them falling over.

The arcan ones look good, but they should for the price

Go for one with decent sized (diameter and width) main wheels, the halfords types with the small narrow wheels tend to want to drag the over them, rather than roll under it, bit scary when one end is already on stands

This first reply pretty makes the rest of the thread unnecessary...

They sell for varying prices on eBay, but none of the vendors can get anywhere close to Costco's price, from what Ive seen.

You can have a good look before you buy too; although you wont be disappointed and theyre far superior to the usual Clarke alloy 'racing' jack that some people may still suggest.

Quietly appreciated.

My Halfords ones have been doing the job perfectly well for years now.
