Well it's come time (xmas) to replace my trusty old trolley jack.
The only jacks I can seem to find are the pathetic little ones that look like they're only suitable for changing a tyre or the big f*ck off ones which are completely impractical for moving around my garage, picking up and putting in the car, carrying up the driveway etc.
My jack can go to 420mm raised which is good enough for me and yet isn't too bulky.

I remember seeing a pretty good one last time I was at BNT from memory.

I work at BNT and can recommend the trolley jacks we sell

Photos or it will never happen..

I want to get another trolley jack also.. needs to be of the low-profile design with good lift.

Something semi-alloy would be nice, but not the quicklift variety.

Our 3 tonners lift to 425mm, 6 tonners to 605mm.
Also can do high lift 2 tonners to 800mm

There are a few options, just give your local BNT a ring

Ours lifts 145-500mm. $199.

Or there is an aluminium option, which is 3 tonne, low profile and will lift from 105mm to 470mm . 33kg (19kg lighter then non alloy powerbuilt one). Usually $549 - Toyspeed Special $499

Powerbuilt Low pro 90-510mm Steel, long handle, overload protection valve, 52kg. $449.

I have this one, but without branding, its EXACTLY the same though and only cost $300 from local auto spares shop a few years back. Its a good jack, its only downside is the weight

most jacks over 2.5 tonne are a bitch to carry ive got a supercheap 2.5 tonne one and its done me a mint. lifted millions of cars.

I got one of these from ripco, and have had nothing but isses with it since!
Jack the car up, and by the time you have undone the nuts and removed the wheel and go to put the new wheel on, the whole thing has lowerd itself and is sitting to low to put the wheel on! lol.

And the main reason I got this was cause it was a "Low profile" jack, but the middle part where it goes up to allow for the pivot bolt (if people know what the hell im talking about :lol:

), is to high! it hits on the body kit and is unusable!!

worth spending the extra $50 to buy that aluminium one!

Yep I find that too :oops:

Fine if you need to jack a car from the door sill though as its front section is very low. I used to get the jack under the front of my car, but now it scraps then hits on the grease nipple :evil:

tried bleeding it? It's pretty easy to do.

Otherwise you could have a problem with your ball valve setup.
