I have spent the last year looking for this jack as it used to be available through motorsport tools in the uk but they no longer stock them.

One of my friends has one the last year and a half with no issues at all and it is one sexy jack for the price he paid, Also 5 pumps to full height is a massive help when speed matters.

Some spec,
2 TON CAPACITY ALUMINIUM FLOOR SERVICE JACK

* Low lift height and profile frame
* Thick frame side plates and reinforced lift arm
* Dual pump pistons and piston dust shields
* Bypass and overload valves
* Ball bearing mounted rear swivel caster wheels
* 2 piece handle for easy storage
* Saddle pad for vehicle frame

Specifications
Low Lift Height 3.5" (88.9 mm)
High Lift Height 19.25"(488.95 mm)
Overall Length 26.5" (673.09 mm)
Overall Width 13" (330 mm)
Overall Height at Pump 6.5" (165 mm)
Handle Length 50"
Saddle Diameter 4.5" (114 mm)
Net Weight 49 Lbs. (22.22 kgs)

Now if i wanted to just buy one on my own i can get it for in around €260 delivered at current exchange rate the killer been $150 postage. That is the highest price it could be at the moment for just buying 1.
As with all group buys it all depends on numbers for the price to come down, so if you are genuinely interested please put your name down and i will see about a bulk order price.
Also i know it is massively dangerous ordering such an order from the states without considering the customs so i will be putting in a call to see if a reasonable deal could be done to avoid any unexpected surprises.

I have bought some of the so call good ones on E-bay and they are pure shite,
So regardless if this comes to pass or not i will definitely be putting in my order for one.

I think i have covered everything, any questions just ask, Or indeed if anyone knows if they can be sourced in the uk im all ears !

Thanks Enda.

does it have to be that jack or do they do smaller ones? I'm on the hunt for a good low jack but it needs to be pretty small as it will be in the boot permanently. Will also have to check if 3.5" is low enough.

Arcan don't seam to do any small ones, but id say something like this might suit you better for throwing into the car, as the ones im on about are a decent size for workshop use and can take plenty of abuse.

Gud man Trev, i'll make a proper list once a few names come up.

I got a 2.5 tonne jack in halfords for less than 50 euro,one push down of the handle to get full height,not as aesthetically pleasing as that noe but it is a jack after all,it's a sturdy piece of kit,good reach and relatively low!
