I bought a sealey one from toolstop in the uk a few weeks back.
Just make sure they have enough clearance. Some measure a low point, then start to slope back up straight away, while others stay low for the length of the jacking arm, and give plenty of clearance.
Ya I bought a Sealey RJAS2500 off their ebay store, it was E160 including shipping - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-RJA...item3f23c82c52Quote:

Only thing about some of the cheaper jacks is they take a lot of effort to pump or a lot of pumps. It's a serious pain in the hole.
could not agree more and usually they give in after 2 years or so your best bet is too buy a bluepoint one out of a snap on van you can either get steel or alloy think I paid about 220 for mine which is the steel one but you will have it for lifeQuote:

I have one the last 2 year+ and is used as a normal jack every day and then the odd time for my own car or any I work on. Really can't fault it at all . full steel body with steel wheels not alum. Shit that bends and brakes . 3ton lift captivtiy but was I tested to lift a builders transit full of tools no problem . think was about 200plus vat Witch is 246inc var which is very good value in my eyes . and will last the test of time too.
Where do ye get the bluepoint stuff lads looking for a jack myself
Bluepoint/snap-on same company. Far as i know there are only the the vans on the road that call to garages don't think there is a walk in place to buy the stuff ...Quote:
