There was some discussion recently about trolley jacks

Supercrap has a sale on at the moment with a small trolley jack for $27
goes 140mm-330mm - better than the one I have now for the Mini that I paid $10 at a swap meet :roll:

Also picked a an air powered die grinder for $20 - $14 off

I've only used it briefley with a wire brush - it has 4 speed settings and it only had any umph on the top two - but then I don't know if you are meant to use a 2" wire brush in it :wink:

I went and had a look at the jack, I don't think it's low enough :( I think I will have to buy one like Hanra's... $260 on ebay. Maybe I will just buy a $nap-on one while I'm at it :roll:

Did you find an Omega one on Ebay? I searched high and low and Rapeco was the only place I could find that would order one in.

No it was just a generic brand one, by "like" I meant similar low profile design.

The snap on "the beast" coincidently is only $450...
