nigel bickle Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Me too.... Worth a punt though, you never know.
Matt Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1288757 And that's why I loathe being under cars, even on two post lifts I hate it.
Station Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 ..... everyone piling into this should see it go for a bob or three...... TS I got a similar one for about 40 quid at a second hand tool shop. They are well worth the money!
Pillock Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I've just received mine! Only joking, order cancelled
beko1987 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My cheapo halfords one is still going well, and I trust it enough to lift the car sufficiently to get an axle stand under somethign solid. Usually leave the jack just nipped up on the corner I'm working on too for extra protection. Doesnt go too high though, can never get the axle stand up higher than it's first setting. Any higher and the jack starts to move about, or dig itself in on gravel
RoadworkUK Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 They cancelled mine, too. But they were ever so polite about it.

richardmorris Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I've got two of those Aldi ones and their axle stands. They're great. I keep one in the back of the merc, and changed a flat tyre ( my only one driving in over 20 years) in five minutes in the rain. The jack that comes with the car is weird.
New POD Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I don't think it matters much how shit the jack is as long as you put axle stands under the car, and don't get under it until then. I usually stick a couple of steel wheels under the car next to the axle stands as I am slightly paranoid. Timewaster 1
seacow Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I have last years aldi jump pack in yellow and it's been great well worth the money
Andrew353w Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Amazon emailed me this morning (not personally, you understand...) informing me that the price had "been revised" (=increased!) to £51.72.... "I'm outta here!"
