Hi all, I'm considering upgrading from my very basic Halfords trolley jacks to something more substantial. I'm potentially going to be dropping the rear subframe on my M3, hence the need for better gear in this area.

I'd like one of the more heavy duty trolley jacks and would appreciate both low entry and high lift. I've never purchased a jack of this type before, so a bit of guidance would be welcome.

This looks very good for the money but I can't visualise how high the lift is versus what I have now:

This looks similar but a bit more pricey. Sounds like it doesn't lift quite as high either:

This looks very similar to the Draper but a few quid cheaper. Not quite as low entry but does appear to lift a tad more. Does look to have a better lift pad:

Anybody able to recommend any of these? Any alternatives I should look at?

Many thanks!

Cheers guys. I'm still leaning for the Clarke one I think. Purely because that Costco one looks to be 470mm vs the Clarke's 510mm.

I have mixed opinions on Clarke stuff however, so will give it a bit more thought this aft. I may buy one after work though.

No, I bought the heavy red one. It lifts higher and was far cheaper!
