Normal price 79.99 (clicknext to the price where it says how manyhave sold)
80 is a bargain price to be fair, and normal practise to put the price up so no one buys when out of stock rather than remove and relist (no idea why it says theres some available though, typo probably)

Mystery solved

I was only saying the other day that I needed one of these and agreed the normal £80 price is cheap. May have to invest when back in stock.

The proper Costco one has front metal wheels rather than a roller, goes from 75mm - 500mm and I paid £93+vat for it.

I have just got the ARCAN CEALJ2T , 1.8 ton ali trolley jack often at costco and currently listed on their site for 120quid.

Due to wanting it time for christmas and not having a costco near by I got it off a local ebay seller for 135quid posted out first class.

One circlip on the levelling link was damaged and a loose fit, and I am yet to use it in earnest, but online reports on her and other forums are good. Has the twin wheels, which obviously get in the way more than a roller, but give more stability and are better for less smooth garage floors like mine. Turns out the delivery man has the exact same model, and was praising it the whole time I was signing for it. Good times!

You can get cheaper, but they don't offer the same lift height, or are steel are 40+ kg.

89mm to 490mm (401mm range) weighing a still very lift able 24 kg

It's ace, I love mine. Lots of guys in the paddock have asked where it came from. It's just over a year old now and no faults so far

I picked my alloy one in B&Q a few years back for under £50 IIRC.

Edit - it was this one (on an offer)

Technically yes, although if I need to warranty one, (or more than ive bought from them) questions get asked, warranties void etc, narked off customer and possibility of my franchise being removed.
Although I have sent the link to them to ask to price match

Are SIP/MAC linked then? Didnt know that.

Or do MAC brand a version of the SIP?

chris61 - 18/1/14 at 09:56 AM

Yes, all jacks, welders, compressors etc are sip with a Mac sticker
