My cheap and nasty Chinese made trolley jack has finally spat the dummy after 40 years honourable service so I need to find a replacement. The low slung light weight alloy units look good but I really only need a basic jack so they aren't really worth the extra cost to me. I see Kincrome have promotional special pricing on their two basic trolley jacks at $60 and $80 so I think I'll go with the larger 1800kg unit at $80 unless anyone knows of a good deal on something better. I'm happy to pay a bit more for the right item.

Costco have really good aluminium trolley jacks, very mini friendly, nice and low, 1500kg rated 3 year warranty $180. I've had one for 18 months now and have had no problem with it.
