Wrecked my back. My Wayco one since failed. It did a lot of work though. However it never made up for ruining my back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear, back issues are a bitch, but to be fair, if it would not have been the jack, it probably would have something else you would have lifted instead. What I am most interested in when it comes to the jacks, does anyone know about the quality of STA parts at all? I know that mainly the American car guys shop there but was wondering if the quality is good, I am planning to have a drive there tomorrow to have a look at their jacks.

Yup, my mate has one of these as well - used it to do suspension before I bought my own - grunty as and good buying when on 'special'. @kiwi75 I would grab one of those for $240 TBH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have one that looks like that - mine is red. You really don't want to carry it far. The release was a bit snatchy to start with but gets better with use. Only thing I might like (aside from it being lighter!) is to have a quicklift function, but I can easily live without that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
