Trolley Jack Suggestions

[rminc]

Hi all,

My trolley jack hydrolics have given up. I'm after a replacement. Happy to spend upto around $400, but if I don't need to go that high, that's a bonus. 

Any suggestions. It's been about 5 years since I've looked, so I don't know what's good and what's not anymore. My old Jack was the aluminium arcan Costco jack. 

Happy to go steel, or aluminium. 

Thanks

Most floor jacks (even the cheapies) can be rebuilt really easily - if you're happy with it, (particularly if it's a decent one) strip it down and hot rod it   Mine began to fail a while ago and it was as simple as a bit of air getting during a relocation - just needed a bleed.  There's a bucketload of Youtubes showing how to resolve most issues cheaply.

Thanks. Saw that. More for the 996 though. Just seeing what's out there. The bacho one looks like it's well regarded though. 

Are there any rubber attachments for aircooled cars.

Thanks, but I'd rather just get a replacement. Less mucking around. Already gave it to my mate, so he can repair and use it.
