Hey guys just wanna know are some good brands of car jacks.
my car is lowered so I need a low profile jack.
any suggestions will be good.

Thanks Sam

Blue point do a good one for $500 from a snap on truck. Or you can goto Costco and buy their one for $110.

The more expensive one is obviously better but if your only going to use it every now an then get the Costco one


Cheers

Costco one sounds about right
you know wat the brand is called?

Yeah the Costco jack does look nice. And for the price, you can't go wrong.

Arcan

I have one for work. I use it about 15 times a day. The last cost co one I had lasted me about 9 months. When the current one goes i need to splash out for the blue point


Cheers

I have a Blue Point one and cant fault it, had one of the cheapy alloy low ones and struggled to lift a corner of a larger car let alone the whole front or rear.

Thanks guys been a big help
sorry to be a pain but is it the long reach type one?

I use one from Autobarn, gets under most slammed cars and I use it every day.
SLO4LT also has one and neither of us have issues

I also agree with that, ive seen Damo use his many times at various events, cant fault it. Just depends how much you are going to use it. If your gonna use it flat out or have a jack which you will never have 1 problem with id go for a Blue Point or a Liftech, best 2 brands of jacks out there IMO, with Armstrong being 3rd, ive had seals pop easily on Armstrongs easily though.

Ah yea might have a look at autobarn
I took some measurement and its gota be 90mm hight and atleast 400mm in reach

Arcan have their 1.5t jacks on eBay, 93mm to 400+ bout the cheapest I can find. Same as trade tools price.

yeh i got the arcan one too.

Possible to send the ebay link over? Cheers

I see repco do a 2T the goes 63mm to 500mm. Couldn't say the price but I'll find out I'm in the market for one too. Over cheap crap jacks and timber blocks.

I got the arc an one also, had it a while and use it a lot. I paid $200 delivered. Here's the link : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/trolley-jack ... 8d4&_uhb=1

Thats the costco jack.

If you are close to a costco and know someone with a membership just go there its like $170.

I heard Costco rebranded them? Either way its the same and they are pretty good quality

Well guys got myself a Kingchrome jack
It supports 2000kgs
Just have to drive on top of some blanks of wood so it can fit underneath

So you didn't even buy a low profile car jack in the end!

Haha yes I did in the end for a reasonable price!
the one I wanted doesn't exist, well not in aus anyways.
alot of low profile jacks with a long reach had been banned from AUS since they reviewed and changed the ADR standards. Guy was telling me Kingchrome had 3 pages of all different types of jacks before they bought out the new standards now they just have a handfull

Used my uncles Costco jack when I was doing my power steering switch lifted the front of the Ef
With ease if there was a Costco around here in qld I'd buy one loved it!

I wouldn't worry about standards. You don't get under a car without stands anyways.
