Bought me a new trolley jack
« on: April 25, 2007, 05:02:44 pm »
WooHoo...seen as any 165 is in the air more than on the ground I thought it was time to invest...

...got a 3 ton trolley jack from costco for only 60 quid :o

It has low entry at 89mm and lifts to 550mm...

...fookin marvelous for that money 8)

Weighs 40kg though...nearly broke my back putting it in the shopping trolley :D

Seriously wanting another GT4 NOW god dam it!!!

I'm quite lucky in the way that my garage is soooooooooo big everybody just leaves there kit with me because they know the work is going to get done here anyhow ;D

I have a 2 tonne & 3 tonne trolley jack, 1 tonne engine crane, 500kg engine stand, 2 tonne axle stands and 3 tonne axle stands.

Nobody left a 2 poster lift yet though, I'm working on that one though :lol:

I guess any second hand equipment could have any/some catastophic failure of some kind ???

My second hand car however has NOT suffered brake failure yet ;)

And as for your garage Nick...you lucky lucky bar steward ;D
