Having got one of these the last time they were on offer I thought I'd give a heads up for the new deal starting on the 25th February.

Link is here and see this thread to complete the deal.

Good find, here's the direct link bypassing the post code page

I got one of these two years ago similar price from Lidl, good bit of kit. I've only used it a few times though.

Might get one - seems a decent price and looks sturdy!

Compare it to the 2 tonne trolley jack Halfords do -- i'm convinced its the same jack just different badge. Have seen a few other names on this jack too, but Lidl's price is best.

Swivel feature looks handy. Already have a Clarke 4x4 trolley jack but might get this as a supplementary one when I don't need the extra lift height or the point I want to jack is lower than possible with the other.

I guess this handy hint may be helpful for anyone considering a purchase http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/149492-jacking-pad-for-trolley-jack/ (edit: should have actually clicked on the links in the first post as it is there )

They also have a decent set of axle stands for £6.99. I've seen these and have to say they are a bargain.

Here's the link

The axle stands look good

Axle stands seem to be same as the ones I bought a while back from Lidl. They're good and do the job, although I would quite like to get some ratchet style ones instead.

Thanks for this, I need to change the oil on 2 fabias this week and I had to throw my ramps away they were rusted to buggery. Just nipped out and bough the jack and stands for £22, cheaper than fleabay!.

Thanks for this link, I was only thinking about getting a trolley jack a few days ago and knew there had been some good advice/words of warning on here a while back.

Thank for the heads up john999boy.

No problem & thanks to rwbaldwin for adding about the stands - been and picked a pair up today.

Trip to Lidl tommorrow I think, I forgot about them even after you mensioned it at the snipe! Never mind nice reminder

Cheers John

Hoping to pick up a jack & stands on saturday. Means a trip into Exeter but it would be nice to have 4 axle stands again so during any detailing the car can be put in the air and have all 4 wheels removed for cleaning.

In the stand instructions it does say not to use 4 at once!

I've bought a set of the stands and I wouldn't trust being under the car with them. The stays to the legs are held in by one single, loose pivot and if there is any slight sideways force on the car (e.g., tightening a bolt when you're underneath), that flimy mechanism will have to help support the car. Mine are unlikely to be used I think.
