B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) https://www.tradetoo...products/GJ1T-A Anyone used one of these? EDIT: Noticed one of the other boys linked basically the same one but for $350. That either means someones getting ripped off or its a great deal. EDIT 2: Not quite the same. http://www.gasweld.com.au/594736-toolex.html Edited February 2, 2014 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I got this today for $170, forgot to haggle. Steel. 85mm at lowest point. 455mm height. One year warranty. Edited February 3, 2014 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
philbey Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I used one like the link at the top,of the page last week. My mate brought it,around, it was an orrcon branded one, but otherwise identical. Pretty damn good to use, but you gotta be careful. Because it's not very long, you have to have it right under the car to jack. His jack paces were quite far in. The handle is also spring back to vertical, if you're not careful you could easily dent a door letting go of it. Other than that it was damn nice. The single roller on the front is wicked and it's a very fast lift. Still heavy though. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I tried to get one today but they sold out of them before xmas and havent been able to get more in. Quote
Seventy Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 That jack looks very similar to this one that sprint stores sell for about $130ish, they were on sale for $99 at fathers day last year. A friend bought one for his dad and it slowly went down in use, but I think he got it replaced fine and haven't heard about it since. its pretty damn heavy, bit under 35kg apparently Heres the one I'm talking about http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121148280734?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote
Darthleeweed Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 I have not had a problem with my $100 supercheap special in a couple of years now Quote
undercoverninja Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I have had the biggest steel mofo that repco has on the shelf, for the past few years, still working perfectly. You don't have to pull the handle out to release the valve, unlike the supercheap one. Not very low though. Quote
rian Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Posted February 26, 2014 Repco sell Pro-Lift jacks which I'm pretty sure is made by the same company as Omega, so they are probably pretty good. We just got this jack in at work, it's a Kincrome 3 tonne jack and it weighs 50kg. It's the biggest trolley jack I've ever seen, I would have bought one if I knew we were getting them. Quote
phil86 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 I got this today for $170, forgot to haggle. Steel. 85mm at lowest point. 455mm height. One year warranty. That looks sweet, where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Got it from Total Tools. Its not bad, wish it was quick lift but for the price I'm not complaining. And its def a shed jack not a track jack, the thing is HEAVY. Quote
B-Lugg Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 In the market at the moment - budget of around $200 give or take... Any specials I should know about? Quote
rian Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Posted May 2, 2014 In the market at the moment - budget of around $200 give or take... Any specials I should know about? Repco Prolift jacks, get the proper one with the valve release integrated into the handle (twist the handle to release). They are always on sale. Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Could someone please got a costco membership xoxo, my jack breaks the boot floor everytime I put it in. Quote
rian Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Costco is coming to Brisbane apparently. Quote
