That Costco trolley jack...

[Windymiller]

Sounds a daft question, but anyone know of a Costco that stocks the ALUMINIUM one? I asked a mate to grab me one and he got the 3-tonne steel one by mistake which weighs the same as my car! Just spoke to my local Costco and they weren't the most useful bunch...

I've a shot I grabbed from here a while back but it's discontinued so the code is no use...



Anyone? I'm based in Manchester.

Machine Mart also do one, pretty much the same price.

Man up and use the steel one its great

Costco is a bit random on what they sell. They might always have a trolley jack, but it could be any one of several.

£10. You're comparing with and without VAT prices.

And if you go to one of Machine Marts VAT free days, it'll be £2 cheaper!

Cheers guys — I'm VAT reg'd so that's not an issue, but it's still £10 dearer... suppose that's the price I have to pay for not manning-up

Got one and it really is excellent. Wide super low quick to jack up perfect.

That steel one will last your lifetime no question. I have the alloy one but will never need to jack anything over the 1.8-2tonne limit. Even being alloy it's not that light I'd recon on well over 30kg - being used to 25kg dumbells.

Similar price from your pic as I paid- now just need good axle stands.

Going to have to invest in one of these. I took a punt on a cheapie Halfords one and, while perfectly functional' it turned out to be way too tall to fit under the Caterham. Will measure the sodding thing next time...

I have been using the CostCo Alloy jack for the last few months and it is a quality bit of kit, gets under every lowered car i have tried it with and can raise the car to a good level for getting axle stands underneith.

Well worth the £££ as i to had a halfords one before that was lame in comparision an not a great deal cheaper.

know exactly what you mean but this costco one should be perfect (measure it though incase as I don't have said lovely caterham) it is super wide so stable big "plate" and it's nose part you push under really is super low. For mr a lifetime purchase sure halfords are cheaper but this thing appeared and still does appear to be very good quality

I bought one and posted it on here - maybe I even started the hype. I wish I had 2 now. A week later I saw some guy on ebay selling them for a 25 quid profit. Free enterprise lives.

£25 profit less the p&p and hassle of getting down post office less your free time listing it and checking up on it.
