Default Trolley Jack!

Thinking of what to have for Christmas ! as if that's not difficult owning a 964!

Thought you folks might be interested to know, CostCo are selling Clarke's 1.25 tonne aluminium trolley jack for £67 including vat, currently retailing on machine mart for £94. Excellent quality and value! bought mine today
It has extra low saddle height (80mm) ideal for that low suspension!

Was this in the Chester / Ellesemere Port branch?

Thanks

I found that the 3 tonne version by Arcon at Costco, being super low, was better suited to our types of cars - easier with the wide body anyway.

Good bargain by the way.

It was at the branch which is at the end of the M56, whether that clased as Chester or Elesmere Port not sure.

Would have liked one with a bigger capacity, but this will do the job for now. Went to the Motor Show last year at the NEC ... should have picked one up then!

I have one... it leaks oil. Go w/ the 3 ton jack... you will get greater height and appreciate it more. They do look cool though.

Forgot to add that the best advice i got to go with this jack was off Rennlist and it was to use an ice hockey puck to protect the jacking point.

£1.10 from the shop next to Altrincham Ice Rink.
