Who knows Jack(s)?

Post by Clint »

Decided to shout myself a decent trolley jack. 3 ton or thereabouts. Don't mind paying a little bit more for something better than the Supercheap ones. Anyone got recommendations? I'm thinking Wayco cos they come in orange to match my shed :D

Cheers

If it breaks, build it stronger.
If it doesn't break, drive it harder.

I've got a 3T Powerbuilt one too, with 4T stands and I haven't been able to kill it yet, really solid gear and not too pricey. If your not urgent for it I got mine from Repco when they come on special (Was good timing) I've since noticed they pop up on special 3 or 4 times a year just watch the junk mail.
