New Trolley Jack - Couldn't Believe My Eyes!

[GE90]

Hi all

So it's my birthday soon, so I thought of asking for a lightweight aluminium jack to replace my aging Halfords 2.5 ton steel one.

Found myself looking at lightweight aluminium ones from SGS Engineering, Clarke etc. However, I couldn't believe my eyes when I weighed my current one (which I think is heavy), and found that is is lighter than the aluminium ones (19kg vs 26 kg).

How can this be?

Thanks guys - hardly lightweight then, as advertised. Certainly not if my 5 year old full steel 2.5 ton Halfords cheapie is lighter!
