Time for a new trolley jack for the falcon and focus. Any suggestions? So many cheap options, which worries me about quality. Teaching the young felllas these days so safety is priority, need some stands and wheel locks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a steel Torin low profile that was only $170ish from Sydney tools. Super stable and big range of movement for the handle, but weighs an absolute ton.

It's a great jack, and good value for money. Do you know anyone with a Costco membership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
