What a "Fearsome" piccie !!! Ya read about characters like this....... in the obitury coloumn!!

... frodo.

Just an opinion - nothing more:- I find the best quality "High-Lift" jacks come from a company calling itself "Hi-Lift" funnily enough! Every other jack is just a 'High-Lift' jack, i.e. a jack that lifts high! It's a bit like the old one where a lot of people call a vacuum cleaner a 'hoover'. Surefire sign of a good recognised brand. I know a couple of chaps that have bought 'Hi-Lift' style farm jacks and they were definitely lower quality than my genuine 'Hi-Lift'. They have since changed! Bought my from Kaid 4x4 in Derbyshire, cost £52.00. Only a fraction more than I've seen lesser jacks for.

..probably a myth, but then you wonder...

Without lab equipment you can't know how good a jack is until you really bend it. I'd really like to be somewhere else when one snaps....

So, yes, I'd always stick with a brand name - at least you have some hope that there is a testing and QA process. Mine's a Jackall, and I've used it precisely twice. Not a great investment in all honesty...

So Me was, like

Bloody Hell!

I believe that's the one I'm looking for. Could you email it please Steve?

Depends what the alternatives were at the time you used it

The first time I used it was to see how it worked.

The second time was to put Stig on axle stands to do the brakes. I only used the hi-lift because I'd had it a year and never touched it, so felt a bit guilty....

I'd say that Hi-Lift and Jackall should be classed "as being the same" - both are certainly better quality that the cheaper farm jacks doing the rounds, which have rightly or wrongly aquired a reputation for bending.......

could have saved you a fiver there!
