Im chasing a new jack as im sick of throwing my back out every time i lift my jack in and out of my car. Something under the $300 mark. 1000kg or 1200kg.

I have seen some 1200kg ones at Autobarn that arent to heavy. Has anyone used one? Have one? Know where to get a good one?

Cheers.

look for the one with the led in the saddle.

it only weighs 12 kilos, and will lift half your car no probs. i have one, it's fucken awesome.

lift the whole thing with one hand.

lights are awesome at night.

and under 300.

3.5 pumps to full height..:)

I suspect those fast pump ones dont meet the oz std....
Mines from supercheap and the 3.5 pumpers had to be taken off shelves...
Mine is also dual piston pumper and takes about 10 pumps...I like the control better and its still not lots to full height.
Personally I think the fast pumps are a bit heavy when lifting the whole rear...but i should probably just toughen up :D
I love mine, light, easy to move, high lift, low start height...sexy too!
At least you can haul it to the track happily!

the big single front wheel is pretty good for places like archie on the gravel,

i used one almost every day at work for almost 2 years and it never had any problems, they are so awesome, you can quickly lift them over air lines and stuff, they are narrow enough to sit on drive on hoists to live struts into place and stuff,

ill definitely be looking into one once i have a bit more savings and less costs for my car to be finished, might even make a mount in my boot for it so it doesn't rattle around on the long trips to the track.
