I would like to purchase a trolley jack and appropriate axle stands. Can anyone recommend a manufacturer?
Clarke products from Machine Mart seem reasonable and have been happy with the build quality in the past. Or Halfords??

Weight? Would of thought that 2 tonnes would be more than enough.

Thanks

The 2 tonne ones are man enough but are a bit short in height and to comfortably use you need to make some jacking pads/blocks.

This is what I did.



Either that or buy a bigger trolley jack.

Im having the same deliberation at the minute. I though about going for a highlift jack. But I want it to get under my fiesta also!

Always used the Clarke from Machine Mart myself and been more than happy with them. I believe they also do an extended lift one, but unfortunately the price is extended as well.

This is the one I'm considering at the moment.

I had a halfords one before which to lower you had to take the lifting lever out and turn a screw to relieve the pressure. This eventually stripped, this scrapping a 60 quid jack

You need something with a slightly higher lift as the chassis is quite a bit taller on a T25....this is what I have although I bought it on a special at under £40.

I've got one of these (3ton heavy duty)...., it is fairly heavy, but does a decent job.

Coupled with this Jack pad http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Jack-Pad/40-7303" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which fits neatly,
it's quite good really.

Thank you all for the replies. I will go shopping this weekend. My nearest Machine Mart is in Twickenham though.

The Twickenham store is not huge. Ring ahead to check stock if you are getting one from them.
I've decided to go for the sgs engineering 3 ton jack in the end.
