My vaguely prehistoric Halfords trolley jack has finally given up the ghost - the screw to release the pressure and lower it has stripped it's thread. Yes, I could probably try and find a replacement, but...

So - what to get? Budget is far from unlimited. It'll get a reasonable amount of use, and ideally have a decent lift. I don't really want anything lower than 2t capacity. Any recommendations or avoids?

Thanks, folks. MM's Clarkes were one of the options I was looking at - but that SGS is very appealing.

Finally ordered it yesterday PM, and it's here already. Yes, via UKMail - but even that was utterly painless.

First impressions are VERY positive. It looks like a nicely made bit of kit. The pivoting liftyhandlebit is a nice idea, but feels a tad loose - we'll see how that pans out, it doesn't feel scarily so.

Which one did you go with in the end and how has it been?
I went with the 2T Low Profile, no case, and I'm happy so far.
