Anyone know where I can get a toy trolley jack (or a very small lightweight real one even) suitable for a 4 year old boy ?

My son is obsessed with jacking up his go kart, bike and pedal car using my 2.5 ton trolley jack, crawling underneath on his back with spanner in his hand so he can 'do a service' and 'fix the brakes'. He is insistent that he wants a trolley jack of his own for Christmas. There will be major problems for us if Santa doesn't deliver on the big day !!

I tried looking on google but haven't come across anything.

Thanks

Excellent! Teach him right - get him to use axle stands before sliding under his motor!
Clarke do a 1.25 tonne alloy racing jack but compared to the normal 2 tonne items, is very expensive at around £93 from Machine Mart.

Dont really want to be a killjoy/spoilsport but we sell small trolley jacks (real ones) and they have no place being used by a 4yo. They are not toys and have sharp edges and places to trap a finger easily for small hands.
Could you show him the lever type ones that they use in F1 as thay are very similar to the small luggage moving type things(no moving parts) that could be substituted for a real jack.
Sorry to sound like a pain, but would hate anything to happen to any kid from one of our jacks.

 

Thanks chaps

I am always there to supervise (and try to get him out of the garage) and I am conscious of the finger trapping and vehicle falling on face scenarios. It sounds like the lever type would be ideal for him, I hadn't thought of that at all, maybe I can get something made the right size for his 'vehicles' if I can't find one the right size. Further investigation required ....

Thanks again

PS Wheelshopo, do you have such F1 type jacks ?
