BTW, I've ordered one of the Gasweld ones @ $215 ( post-2420-1213223546_thumb.jpg ) so I'll give some feedback when I get it and try it out.

Won't be able to give feedback for a while since Gasweld are out of these jacks. Won't have any in stock until late August :(

I went and checked out that jack on sat, the saddle height is fine BUT the rear of the jack(143mm) is where u will have trouble esp if u want to reach under the front cross member.

I need i trolley jack that is under 125mm at its highest point.

I suggest we keep looking :domokun:

Hmmm, I was looking at this Omega jack was well on http://www.tradetools.com.au/Catalogue/Pro...tCode=GJLUQ1500 GJLUQ1500 jack, 63mm at lowest point but it's not super long.

Its cheaper than anything else I've found so far ($275 + postage to Vic) and the car is approx 13cm off the ground on the side skirts, do you think this could get to the cross member?

Or, is there anything better under $400?

UPDATE: Also found the "J041", from https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041# , its $229 incl GST, only 90mm off the ground but looks like its long 84cm and 51kg, they make a racing version https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J042 but its shorter...

Note: I do know this thread is ancient but it still seems relevant.

Good Jack: https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041 It's actually a tradequip jack. Double pump too

not "super low" profile or light so best for the workshop (it's bigger than it looks)

The SPI never made it to production if anyone bothered to contact the Oz Dist.

I would also be dubious about supercheap Ally jacks as they've had so many recalls.................

Also a true ally "racing" jack will only be rated to about 900kg.

I found if the car was just a smidge too low for the jack, i'd just drive onto a peice of wood or wide paving brick under each wheel and that would gain enough height to get the jack under.

True, thanks for the info. Yes avoiding the supercheap auto jacks for now, I'm trying to buy quality.

Its for personal use, not a workshop, I only visit the track every 6months if I have the $$$ so I'm not too worried about weight (at the moment).

The second jack I mentioned can only support 1000kg, its 19.5kg and a little shorter than the first jack, its 74cm vs the 85cm.

As long as I can jack the car up and the jack will last a long time I'm happy :P

Also the price is very reasonable for both of them...

For those of you who are looking for the ultimate jack, I am now able to supply AC Jacks.

I don't agree at all, just look at the profile. It raises very quickly. Unless they have another?

thats not the low profile one i just bought a new one two weeks ago

68mm at the front and its a long reach jack too

Anthony which product name did you buy? I've looked online and the "low" jack for Bluepoint is the cheap one posted above, but its priced at $500 or something crazy.

Did you pay more $$$ for a super low version or something?

  • 2 weeks later...
part number is SNX1LLTJ

cost me $550

Interesting, had a quick look on the website and found it as ~$540 as you mentioned and supporting 1 tonne but that was it, no more info.

This old post, which does appear to the be the pictures of snap-on jacks we had earlier claim its most likely a re-branded Torin jack:

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/688353

Probably this one:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=10

In the end I bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1-5-TON-ALUMINIUM-R...%3A1|240%3A1318

Which appears to be the Torin 2 tonne low profile jack:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17

Its not super low or super long, but its good enough, and its $330 with dual pump / dual piston design so I'm happy.

If you do search on ebay use the part number, and ensure you tick the "search description" button, the seller seems to list one every couple of weeks....

Probably not the ultimate jack but its reasonably priced and is ~82mm off the ground with some length (>70cm's :banana:). And its 23kg so fairly lightweight.

Thanks,

Gareth

found the blue point jacks - 68mm at the front and real long.

$509 incl GST

if anyones interested in NSW - rep is real local to me, let me know

blue point is lower
thats not the low profile one i just bought a new one two weeks ago

68mm at the front and its a long reach jack too

part number is SNX1LLTJ

cost me $550

i'll have to check my paperwork and call the rep again, i hope they havent gone up again :)

i am in the market for a new jack also.. ive dealt with these guys before and most of their stuff is pretty good so im assuming this would be aswell.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
