I am after a new trolley jack/axle stand set to do a few little bits to my new car.

Anyone got any links to any decent deals available or recommend a decent one?

Cheers

I got my draper axle stands from Wickes for around 3 quid.

Although the ones we seem to have in stock atm arent draper ones any more, they are wickes own brand ones.

We still have some in atm (Derby) although as said, they arent the blue Draper ones any more, they are black Wickes branded ones.

They are on clearance atm so most likey will be stopping doing them soon. Best be would be to phone up and ask to check stock levels of your nearest store

wouldnt even bother with halfords really if your going to use it alot, we have two halfords jacks in our yard and they are both as shit as each other, handels are all bent, very hard to let down ect,

recomment clarke or draper, all come from the same factory anyway
