Just aquired another Halford jack FOC :).
Sister is moving to the big smoke to teach in a school in one of the more challenging areas. She was bored in the school she was at and nothing to really challenge her.
Means she is selling most of her furniture and renting her house out, renting a room in London so I got the freebie of another jack. Result.

I think this question has been asked before and I mentioned a few on that thread that we use which have 5" min height, for what its worth our Snap On man is popping in a Blue Point low lift jack 3" odd height on Thursday for us to try as we need some lower lift jacks now.

I believe the COSCO one mentioned may be made by the same company.  HTH.

Hi Gary, you are correct, the question was asked before and IIRC you had a link of the sealey jacks, which is why in my first post I asked if there were any others I should be looking at before going for that one.

In the end, Tingymagig got me the Arco one for £82 and went out of his way to meet up in Stevenage so I could collect from him. Thanks again Aidan!!!

If possible Tingy, I'll take one mate.  My cars at tims currently, so If you could get it there on the 14th that would be spot on.

PM me some payment details and I'll sort it out straight away.  Much appreciated mate.

Thanks

If its the ARCAN one, I can get one for you from Costco Brizzle, assuming the prices are the same?

Aidy, if it will fit under my barge, I'll take one if you've got them space. I'm at Tim's on the 20th so if you can get it there, even better. Ta

Cheers dude, PP on its way later Posted Image .

Good job you aren't running on them lowering springs anymore or the chassis brace, you could have moonlighted at a road re-grader or council tank trap remover Posted Image
