they are bling but i know of a mobile mech who has broken three of them now. ok they are all replacements for the first one he bought but they have all broke. they aint as light as you would think either and only a 2 tone lift so no good if you left yer sarnie box in the jeep. :lol:  i think they brake o the frame rather than hydraulic failure :shock:

I used to have one for the Caterham.Was fine for this use.We imported a container load of the cheapo Chinese ones and also impact drivers.In all fairness,it was a good jack for the Caterham(low entry,quick lift, large rubber saddle),but i think it was only rated at 1.25 tonnes,so for many ordinary cars it would not be ideal,especially a Jeep.

Good luck

these are not exactly designed for off road aplications unless you carry around a large board for it to stand on etc. designed for light race cars not a two tonne lifted jeep

i think they seem to be in the development stages to be honest. give it a while and they will sort the glitches.
