And don't forget to buy jack stands.
$0.50 bricks are cheaper. we see them used all the time as stands for vehicles along a roads.
My friend's dad died while his car was on bricks and it fell on him.
I wouldn't suggest bricks…

sorry to hear that.
out of curiosity. did the bricks snap in two or break of?

Pretty sure that's for people who have had their tyres nicked…
…aaand straight over ya head she goes!
I plussed your comment for comedic value, however no one should I'll ever get under a car that isn't well supported, and a jack on its own or bricks seriously don't qualify. I didn't think people needed to be told but I guess there could be young people reading this
Never get under any car on any jack.. even with jack stands. It's just not worth it…
Jack stands are perfectly safe, just know what you are doing
Can even chuck your wheels under there laying flat for that extra 'security'.
This!!! I wish I could upvote this a million times.
Doing this saved a mate's life once…sure, he was pretty much pinned in until we could jack the car up again, but the wheels allowed just enough clearance/support to keep him from being crushed.
Good idea, as much support the safer and better.
Ie stands and throw the tyre under there. I always leave the jack under with a slight bit of weight on it too.
All great advice!
I have one as well. When using it I would be extra careful for the fact that it needed to be go as high as it can reaching close to its maximum capacity even on a 2000cc sedan with 16-inch wheels. The mechanism on how to lower it back honestly scares me a little bit (using a piler to turn a small screw relieving pressure in the oil cylinder)
Jacks of this size will only be useful for smaller cars like small size sedan/hatchback as the maximum height will not even lift up the smaller SUVs high enough for changing tyres
So i move on and bought this one instead when it's on sale after I realise the will not be enough for working on my another SUV:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCA-Hydraulic-Trolley-Jack-2500kg…You don't need pliers to lower it. Take the handle off and use the non-grip end to turn the screw.
I have this Jack, and have used it on 5 cars at least the largest being a VR/92 Commodore and had no problems. Jack has never failed on me, however prior to this one I had a similar jack but slightly smaller and only rated to 1250kg that seized on me, wasn't a big deal just bought the 1400kg one.
On all the above cars I was able to get the Jack stands one hole (pin type) up from the lowest setting which was enough for me.
Keep in mind two wheels are always on thr ground, so it's not carrying your whole car.
I'd rather use a good bottle jack than this toy.
I bought this to replace the scissor jack which came with the car. Only using it to replace tyre when required.
For your purpose, a bottle jack would be better. This trolley jack is too weak and too low to jack the whole car front/rear up. For jacking up one corner only, it takes a lot more space (probably impractical in some situations); be careful not to kick it when carrying wheels.
I bought a bottle jack previously, and it wouldn't fit under the car so had to return it
Cheapest bottle jack is double the price, and as I mentioned elsewhere I have the whole front of the car off the ground and able to change both wheels with this jack, but really depends on the car. If you have a sedan/wagon/hatch this does fine, maybe not an SUV/4wd, but I am not into them so no experience there. I actually had more issues fitting the jack under a part of 2 cars because I'm n the low position it's quite high compared to some more expensive ones
I've got one. Struggles to get the car high enough for me to put the jacks under
"The seller doesn't have that many left." when I try to checkout, even when I selected a store that says "in stock" :( Just trying to buy 1.
Had the same problem as I had already used the eBay discount code 3 times. Logged into my 2nd eBay shill bidding account and all was good.
would this work ok for a motorcycle? 150-200kg
They have a toolpro "low profile" jack RRP $92 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/ToolPRO-Low-Profile…
Often shows up at $50-60 on sale ($70 at present)
Much better jack IMO, feels fairly well built and probably one of the better ones i've come across under $100
Thanks Matt. Just bought a low profile one. I had to drive both of my cars onto ramps to fit my old trolley jack underneath. 👍🏻
are the stands on special too
my car is as heavy as op's mum, will this work?
:)
I'm going to fly a massive red flag that's been ignored thus far.
Most small vehicles these days weigh in excess of the rated capacity of this jack.
Always, AWAYS use a jack AND stands that not only meet, yet exceed the weight of your entire vehicle by at LEAST 20% to allow for fluids and the general crap that you've inside it and as cheap insurance to reduce the risk of catastrophic failure.
Some items you buy to a quality standard, not a price point.
If my life potentially is at risk due to failure of that item, I don't skimp upon it, as medical expenses towards recovery aren't cheap, time off work even less so and a permanent disability or death, even less so!
Your not going to jack up the entire car
Exactly, you are only jacking I p half the car. Physics should be mandatory in schools
Or not even half, 1/4 when working on 1 wheel at a time. My 2.5 tonne jack is too heavy to wheel out of the shed each time so this on is perfect for the smaller jobs.
I picked up 1 today. Had to replace my older 1 tonne jack as it would not go all the way up anymore and have not felt safe with it for the last few years.Always use stands, blocks, ramps / wheel chocks on a flat level surface so the jack can move.
What's the value of your life?
And don't forget to buy jack stands.
I have this model of jack, and while it's never failed me, it certainly does feel like it was engineered down to a certain cost. Even if you're just changing the tyre, better to pop a jack stand underneath, lest ye drop the car onto the brake rotor and majorly (profanity) some shit up.
