What? How about no. Those are bloody dangerous and not in the slightest bit useful for every day jobs.

the_wolf · Jan 16, 2015

Get yourself a good quality trolley jack. Halfords do deals on theirs every so often and Machine Mart stock some good ones.

Anything but a high lift. It's a great bit ok kit for certain jobs, but you can't change a wheel using one

Very dangerous unless you've been shown how to use it.

A bottle jack is the best bet. Still don't go under the vehicle without other support, but IMHO the best all round, and fairly cheap.

Wolfie, you beat me to it!

And me. But I would have went for a bottle jack as she says she is small. User name makes me assume OP is a she. If pinkpussy's a guy, I'm outa here...

It depends on when and where you might use it.
If it's to be carried in the vehicle for general vehicle emergencies such as a roadside wheel change then a bottle jack, probably about 2 ton.
If it's for general garage work then a trolley jack would probably be better.

I still say trolley jack as its easy to chuck it underneath and (in my opinion) provides a much more stable base.
A bottle jack is the lighter, less expensive option however.

Mind and get a good quality tow rope for when you get stuck on wet grass :behindsofa:

I would suggest the correct Bottle Jack, Mine was £15 from a breakers
The trolley jack might be heavy to lug about and where do you hide it when not in use?

meego · Jan 16, 2015

I don't want to get you guys too exited....but !!!!!

Just read Pinkpussys details. Biography...:clap2:

flatlander · Jan 16, 2015

PP, I think you've just gained a new crop of stalkers:lol:

Laser tools single hex sockets are reasonable quality, Halfords 50% off sale are so so with lifetime warranty.

If you can mechanic and pole dance- sure a couple of tools at lz11
