The seals are shagged on my Machine Mart alloy jack. Sealey have some great deals on at the moment.

This is the one I have, best jack I've ever used. Brilliant!!!

I was going to say the same. And with Costco if it breaks after 2 years you can still take it back!

Been reading a bit of pistonheads and other reviews and the clarke ones are sounding bad now.
Found this

I liked the tiny little 5 ton bottle jacks I saw. Nearly got one but have no use for it

Am looking at this one:

Seems to have some decent reviews, anyone on here got one or recommend something?
Can't go wrong with Weber Hydraulic. Had mine for over twenty years and it still works beautifully. Never been repaired or serviced either. Will comfortably jack up a Bedford CF horsebox van, a LWB twin wheel transit, a Shadow II or similar.
