Got mine from SGS engineering, great piece of kit. They also do high lift jacks, would probably get one of them next time.

I've got an low entry 1.25 tonne from sgs engineering. It was great for the corsa but struggles abit with the 200. Going to be getting one of there stronger ones with a twin piston for easier lifting. There good quality jacks to be honest, better than my sealey low entry one wich popped an oil seal and always rattled all the bolts out

Also have the SGS 1.25t low entry aluminium jack with no complaints. Felt a bit iffy jacking the is200 up but managed fine and has been great bit of kit for as long as I've had it.
Think they have the 1.5t on offer just now for same price as what I paid for the 1.25t.

I just went for the Halfords one on trade card, otherwise would have gone for SGS, especially as I work next to them haha. Only heard good things about them.

Got exactly this, and grabbed a couple of their rubber wedges too which have come in very useful.

+1 for the SGS, I bought the 2.5 ton low profile one with the axle stands package. Great bit kit for the money.

Just bought this one today since my current jack struggles to lift my mk5 Astra and have just been using it to change my wheels over and its spot on & good value for money.

I have the Costco one, its pretty low, while being twin wheeled at the front, its taken a fair beating over the past year of having it, it is starting to show but its used nearly everyday and had all sorts of liquids over it.
