On lowest they have been is around $200, I’m holding out for that price
yep, I bought this a month or so for $199 'club price', and got $20 club credit back.
haven't; used it yet, but I did unbox and assemble the handle. yep it feels all of the 45kg it is listed as.
as for price difference, there a two things to consider.
lifting 'travel' is 450mm
capacity is 3T
I had been monitoring jack prices in the lead up to EOFY, and only made the purchase recently based on price & lifting travel. too often I have find myself having to jack, support and rejack to get desired height with my old jacks.
That sounds a little more reasonable at under $200!
I think it’s also because of the 3000kg limit. All the ‘cheaper’ ones I’ve seen are <2000kg. For a sedan car it would suffice, but for 4WDs this one is probably much better.
Yeah, but a low profile 4WD?
I think 3k for a low profile jack is overkill. 2k (or even less) would be fine considering you're never lifting the entire car on the jack.
Overkill for sure, I agree with you :) I was just referring to the weight because it seems like anything over 2000kg = expensive.
it was club price $209 just a few days a go was going to get it but ended up with the kinchrome 3000T one as it got better reviews. Unfortunately the kinchrome wasn't in the same 40% sale.
There apparently there's a decent costco one people rave about but we dont have costo here in the west :(
Thanks mate, will check out the local Costco to see what they have. I'd be happy for sub $200.
Costco have low-profile, heavy-duty jacks for ~$180, FYI!
Saw that few months ago but not anymore last week when I went there
No reason for these low profile jacks to be so much more expensive than a normal jack :(.
I can understand a small increase, but $350 for a jack? Come on.
Even at the reduced price of $250 its too much.
