I need to buy a new trolley jack as my 20 year old example is finally falling to bits!

I don't need anything flash, but I don't want it to fall apart within month either. I found this one made by Draper (£19.99), plus there's a store selling them near to me as well.

Has anyone used this jack, or can anyone else recommend another decent budget model?

I got my 2 tonne one from Hellfrauds for £20 with free axle stands (general free stuff with jack seems to be on offer from time to time), it hasn't fallen on me yet

my local maplins has a 2 ton on clearence @ £14.99

them £10-£20 jacks are all the same no matter the make

i would pay a little more and get a real garage one my self, i seen your drive

Nearest Machine Marts are Edmonton or Twickenham. Will cost me a £10 in petrol to get there with no guarantee they'll have any on discount

Might try Hellfrauds and see what they've got. I should've looked when me and Jai were in there yesterday

And Custard, since when have Maplins sold trolley jacks?????!!!! They're supposed to be an electronics store!

cost only 20p if you phone them

want me to look in mine?

maplins sell loads of 'non' maplins stuff
