  • Where to buy a jack?

    Anyone got suggestions on the best place to buy a decent workshop trolley Jack for the Surf? Screwfix have a '4x4' jack with max height of 530mm for £49 but just wondering if there are some better options out there? Anyone bought a good one recently?

      I've recently taken delivery of the next model up that screwfix do for 59GBP. I picked it cause it's the same model I borrowed from work when I did the suspension lift.
      Where the handle is a reasonable length you don't need as much brut force to jack the truck up, also you don't need to remove the handle to lower the jack. The lowering mechanisum is built in, just like in a proper garage, this means you have a bit more control when lowering.
      Gone from 4x4 to 1x2

                who started me looking through the sealey site? I'm getting tempted by this http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilde...motionID=31405 there's nothing really in it that i haven't got, but the chests alone normally cost more than that.

                  i got the old costco jack (blue)... it's rubbish!... the teeth of the lowering gears don't meet so you have to use a srewdriver!!

                  the new one they do (silver) looks really good though!!
