    Aldi jack

    Hi guys,

    I've noticed a few threads on jacks.
    Not sure how suitable it would be but aldi on Saturday will have amongst some other 4wd stuff a 2000kg a electric scissor jack.
    Comes in its own case.
    Might be worth a look?!
    Probably be on the website but its in the catalogue out now.


    Cheers

    I have one of them and have used it in anger on the RRS with a flat. As a jack it is fine but does suffer the same issues as the standard D3/RRS/L322 standard offering but to a much lesser extent.

    The jack will fit under a D3/RRS when the tyre is flat and can lift the car high enough to change the tyre but is a bit unstable at full height - more to do with the height rather than the jack. When I used it in anger the car did roll off the jack at full height but did not cause any damage - partly my fault in not properly chocking a front wheel but also the car's fault as it can still move in park and handbrake on.

    I would recommend one as long as you are aware of its limitations and the limitations of a D3 at max height on the jack. They are also great around the workshop where I power it from a starter power pack - saves a bit of manual work.
