£16 for the torque wrench is worth a punt, I have a 10 year old trolly jack from Argos and that's still going well so cheap doesn't always mean its a five minute wonder before it breaks

probably because most come from china

And there is always a good amongst the cheap

if you think of them as a better wheel changing jack than a scissor jack and not as a workshop jack you should be happy.

i wouldnt put my money on it

If you use once a blue moon yes its fine

regular - then no, alot of "cheap" jacks are all the same just different colours, and i've had 1 donated, it was "poo" and mine which is Torq (aka B&Q) is failing in the same way

Yeah I don't use them a lot I must say, just it's there when needed

I wonder how good that oil is? £12 for 5 litres! even halfords own 15w/40 is about 20 quid

Its in the 24th so you'll need to go next week

Didn't have chance to pop in today good chance I didnt isn't it .......... I couldn't see any date on the website when i selected my local store.

Got the torque wrench today, looks like a good piece of kit given the £15.99 price tag

The trolley jack doesn't look too shabby, it comes with a three year warranty and seems to have a changeable cup, which I've never seen before. It's also TUV approved, which I've always thought was a good thing ( unless it turns out to be the same as ISO 9001/2000, which doesn't mean something's good, just that the manufacturer has documented the manufacturing process!)
