Jack recommendations?

Post by Ammo » Tue Oct 23, 2012 3:53 pm

My jack has finally packed up so i need to source a replacement, looking at the low entry one's and needs to be fairly sturdy as it will get used a fair amount

Anyone got any recommendations?

I've had my aldi special for years now, use it all the time and was only £20. Saying that, I assume this one will be visiting Drifting venues?

Exactly the same jack I bought a year ago in B&Q for 80 pounds, and they still have them as I seen one a week ago
