Default Lightweight jack

As per title.

There was a OT discussion about a particular model in a thread fairly recently, I think it was one of MB's, but I can't remember which.

I've got some Machine Mart vouchers to spend

Yer, the clarke aluminium blue one is pretty good and mine has had constant abuse for over 3 years. It needs a new set of casters, but that's about it.

Is that the 1.25 tonne one?

It'll be alright for the E30s but the M3 is just over 1.5

The one I still haven't clicked "checkout" on is the Sealey 1250.

Bookatrack use them and it fits under my lowered S.

The clarke one is EXACTLY the same, other than it's blue and ~£50 cheaper

I did the Brakes on an Alfa Brera (1.8 tons) last month and my 3 year old version worked fine

That Sealey site is expensive isn't it?

I managed to get my impact gun : http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilde...iredresults=16 a lot cheaper than that!
