remal 85 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 Wanted to replace my old jack with something new and lighter. I had a look around. The company that makes them wanted £20 more than I paid and driftworks also sell them for another £10 on top of that. Bought mine at Costco for £124 include delivery Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smudge 1020 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 I need to get one of these as mine is looking a little old now plus it isnt low entry like that one. Main reason I got my one was because of the low entry. My old Halfords jack doesn't stand a chance with how low the 86 is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smudge 1020 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah I got the red one Does me fine and not exactly heavy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 I got the red one last week too, same scenario as smudge, the halfords one doesn't cut it. Thought £80 was a good deal, its pretty weighty but feels well made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted July 6, 2015 I have an older version of the same jack from Costco. The only recommendation I can give is this:- if your car is going up on axle stands, jack the rear first and let it down last. The "hump" on the jacks frame will want to crush your rear silencer otherwise. Just sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
