Decent trolley jack that won't break the bank?

I've been needing a low profile jack too, just taken a punt on one from SGS for a shade over £35 including delivery, with Christmas money I got from in-laws. I'll try it out when it stops raining 🙂

I'm still deliberating which one to get so I'll be glad to hear your experience with it!

Mine is the 3 ton version, thought i would err on the side of safety because of the Jeep.

Well pleased with mine.

Unboxed it today, did a quick compare with my Halfords 2 tonne jack, see below. 

It's nearly the same height at the handle as the Halfords jack, and it's heavier and wider. For me the extra lift height is a good advantage, but actually getting it under the car (with tein springs) looks like it will still be tight.

Driving the appropriate tyre onto a bit of wood will sort that.

Yup that'll do it 🙂. And to be fair the full dimensions of the body are shown in the listing on their site.
