Very light duty, home use only, to lift my Tuscan a corner at a time.

Basically I just want to pop my wheels off, clean and check behind and repaint my arches.

Will this do?

Does look a nice piece of kit. Probably overkill for my needs though and no local CostCo.

Please though, whatever you do, don't work around or under your car without additional support, be it axle stands or just big blocks of wood etc. Jacks are not safe on their own, and you won't have time to move your leg/arm/head if it fails or falls over.

Think I'll go with either the Machine Mart or Halfords low profile one.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be patronising, I'm just utterly paranoid about it, as you don't get a second chance if it goes wrong
I didn't read it as you being patronising. Just a sound bit of advice thumbup

Discontinued now unfortunately so I got the 2.25 tonne low profile.

Seems a decent bit of kit for the price.

Cheers smile

Cheers Magna, yes I went for Machine Mart 2.25 tonne low profile in the end which has been fine for what I needed it for.

I did swoon over the various aluminium racing jacks available though thumbup
