Best new jack to use
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:06 am
I'm after a new reliable jack which can be stored in the boot and used for light use such as changing wheels.
I know the original type was a scissor jack with a round jacking point attached but these don't seem to be available. The only jack with a suitable jacking point is a bottle jack. These seem OK, but I have a 2-ton which doesn't have enough height, and a 4-ton which doesn't fit until you lift the other side a bit with the 2-ton. Does that make sense? Anyway it's a complete faff and there must be a better solution.
What *new and easily available* jacks are people using?
Cheers, Ian
