Are those plastic wheels? I'm with Wammers on this: there's no chuffing way I'm going under a car with a jack that's got plastic wheels!

Perhap's Grrrrrr, you should look at the description/picture's compare the linked items before replying and have a little less drink before posting.
Wammer's is referring to true over priced "El Cheapo Crap Jack", I'II agree MM aren't the best by far but they ain't at the bottom of the pile by a long way...
Good night all sleep tight....

Aldi's jack is pretty decent at £25 - all metal - only a middling 35cm lift height though. Still cracking value. They sell it about four times per year.

And what's this about "going under". Never go under a car that's on a jack. That's what axle stands are for.

Always use axle stands but even so.
I did read the description but it just says heavy duty castors, not what they're made of. Beer may have affected my vision a little though as on second inspection they look cast or a least the front set do. Rear set a little hard to tell.

Don't matter always have two supports. I have seen people under cars when a jack fails, not nice.

I lost a professional mechanic friend 30 years ago when a mini crushed him.
