Those jacks in the AE review are still too low to lift from the rear jacking point, or to lift high enough to above the closed level of a pair of Halfords three tonne axle stands (when placed under the rear trailing arm mount). The Wolf one at 380mm would probably just reach the rear jacking point, but allow use of the stands at the first pin though if jacking up at the sill. THIS one when raising from the rear sill, is just too short to lift high enough on the first pin (it is 360mm). I have to drop it onto the closed axle stand, it is so very frustrating when you have a belly that is now higher than a closed set of stands

lol.

One thing to bear in mind with the Hilka one linked in the OP is that it weighs 40kg! 88lbs!!!!

Described as a Garage Jack - Rather than a Trolley Jack

Not great if you have to move the Jack itself any distance - Should provide more confidence in use tho - especially with the longer Handle (no need to crouch)

Just unpacked one.

Not used it yet, but, it looks like a serious piece of kit.

I would say Trade, rather than DIY.

I'm greatful for the nod on this one.

As others have mentioned, it's not really a DIY jack as it's very heavy, but it does lift to a decent height and is good and sturdy.
