philb1965 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I want to buy a new trolley jack to replace the one I bought from Halfords over 20 years ago! I don't have a lot of faith in it anymore. I mainly want it for taking my wheels off and satisfying my OCD cleaning needs since joining detailing world, but also general jobs like pad changes. I will also be using axle stands. So which jack to buy? It's got to be lightweight so aluminium, low entry and quick lift. I've seen this one on amazon so does anyone have any views on it or recommendations for others? Max price around £150. I am a costco member so I might see if they have any in. Fire away with suggestions. http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews ... ewpoints=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter10 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You will definitely need a low profile one for the zed, preferably with some length making jacking up the front easier. Sealey do good low profile ones which some dealers now sell on eBay to up their sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Right, looks a top bit of kit, I'll phone costco mk tomorrow to see what the price is currently and if they have them in stock. I'll update the thread in case anyone else is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomS Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I was going to ask the same question yesterday! What if you don't have a Costco card and can'r get hold of one? What's the next best, something like this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Liftmaster-Mult ... PEUCF06E6J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Do a search for Arcan Jacks, you can get them for about £110, but hopefully costco will be a bit cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Costco ones are great! I have had mine a couple of years now, perfectly fine. reaches well. well built and great price. They do tend to go for periods where they change their stock from the lightweight alloy one to the monster 3ton steel one. (dont get this) far to heavy for lugging around. If you dont have a costco card, im sure someone could help out and get you one, I have a card and I often go to both the Watford and Milton Keynes Costco if thats any help to you?
