I used the nice alloy one from machine mart too as normal one wouldn't go under my corsa. But I have to use a scissor jack first on my Astra now that jack won't go under that at the front cos it's too low.

Good jack though.

I got a cheap one off ebay which goes lower than any of the other (79mm iirc). Was around £50 and has been great for me for the past year and gets under my cars which was the main thing.

I had one of the clarke ones from machine mart and the caster fell off it after a couple months. Sent it back and eventually they sorted it and sent it back months later, and within a Few months the seals burst on it.
