Any body know anywhere selling high lift trolley jacks (at least 490mm high) for a sale price? Checked Machine Mart and Halfords so far .....

Thanks but too small - I've got an old one that high, would like one a bit bigger so I don't have to crouch so much !!

you need to ensure the jack does not wander off the blocks as you jack it up

put the block of wood between jack and car, wood is also softer than the jack and wont dent or scratch the paint so much

Car is too low to get much wood in between the jack and chassis ..... that's what I do already when I can..... I've had a cheap small jack
for 20+ years and now want a grown up one!
No Costco near me.....
