I finally bought a new jack as the old one was showing its age and wasn't performing as it should. I picked up some birthday vouchers from last year and used them to help pay for this new trolley jack.
I decided to do a review while I was waiting for the arrival of new parts for the Focus.

Thank you for this. I've been considering buying one of these and having seen this I think I will. Thanks for the review - very thorough and informative! : )

@FatHead1979 3 года назад

Nice job, the jack seems like a good solid piece of kit.

@CDROUNDY88 3 года назад

Picked mine up tonight, heavy and solid bit of kit! Thanks for the unboxing and review

@GentilsGarage 3 года назад

Thanks, glad it was useful.

Thanks for the video, it's answered a question I had regarding whether the rubber pad is removable, which I can now see it is, thanks.

Excellent review. I’ve been looking for a trolley jack, I’ll be buying one of these.

@GentilsGarage 9 месяцев назад

Thank you very much. I still have it and been hard at work.

Awesome must buy one 👍🏼

@darrenbennett5999 2 года назад

On yours does the black arm each side of the piece that goes up when pumped move in and out when moved by hand, there's a little black clip on the end of each piece? 🤔

@GentilsGarage 2 года назад

Yes, it does move

I just came across this video a couple of days after changing from and to the exact same trolley jacks

@GentilsGarage Год назад

I still got the old one that I use as backup. The new one is excellent and has been very good for the last 2 years

@leewinney2449 Год назад

@@GentilsGarage I'm keeping the old one too. To replace my old backup. Just needs bleeding and some fresh oil

@harveysayles7627 5 месяцев назад

Is it any good in tight spaces ? Can the handle be pumped from 90 degrees and be effective , eg against a garage wall

@GentilsGarage 5 месяцев назад

I’ve used in tight spaces between cars. I lift the pad using the pedal and then pump with the handle. Not from 90° but very close

@martinatrybusiewicz2405 Год назад

Hi, what are the dimensions and weight of it? I can't tell from the video. I have a cheap small orange jack from halfords that needs replaced, however I'll need to store it at home and have limited space so I don't want to bother with a big heavy trolley jack 🤔 thanks

@GentilsGarage Год назад

Hi, don’t know the exact weight of it, but it’s a bit heavy to be carried by one person alone. Halfords has a Aliminium version of this one that is much lighter, but more expensive. The length is around 60-70cm and iaround 15-20 cm wide. These are just estimate figures from the top of my head

@martinatrybusiewicz2405 Год назад

@@GentilsGarage right I have just seen it on their website, I'll need to check for myself in store 😅 it don't mind it slightly bigger, but I stay in a flat so can't be too heavy. Thank you very much for your review and advice!

@Xxx-mg3wy 4 месяца назад

How much does it weigh? Also can you measure the length of it please

@GentilsGarage 4 месяца назад

Not sure much much it weighs, but it’s way over 20kg. The trolley is in storage so I don’t have access to it at the moment. I think it’s less than 60cm in lenght

@Ed-io5zg 2 года назад

Please could you explain where exactly the trolley jack should be positioned? Maybe another video would be useful?

@GentilsGarage 2 года назад

Is the the Focus we are taking about? In the video I put it under the subframe to demonstrate how far it could go. Other wise, I se the normal jacking points you would use when jacking up the car with the car jack.

@larry365 9 месяцев назад

Does the upper handle pull off on yours? If i try to drag mine, the handle just comes straight off.

@GentilsGarage 9 месяцев назад

No, mine stays on. Is everything screwed in?

@larry365 9 месяцев назад

@@GentilsGarage Yup. The section that the triangle handle screws to, that swivels, just pulls straight out the middle section. Any idea what exactly holds that swivel section in on yours? Thanka for the reply!

@GentilsGarage 9 месяцев назад

@@larry365 very strange. I need to have a look, but I can’t access the jack at the moment, but I’ll let you know

@larry365 9 месяцев назад

@@GentilsGarage I appreciate that! I'm probably going to put a bolt through it anyway as I don't like it swiveling but just wondering if mine is defective. Thanks

@toono21 7 месяцев назад

hello, which country is this? the one youre showing is currently being sold in uk as a 3t jack, the same picture on the box and the box weight about 37kilos. slighty different all black box. costs 160 pounds.

@GentilsGarage 7 месяцев назад

It’s in the UK. There are two versions on sale at the moment (2T and 3T) and the 2T which is the same I’m testing costs £130. Have a look again at the halfords website.

@toono21 7 месяцев назад

@@GentilsGarage thanks, at those prices and the design is probably better to get the 3t

@GentilsGarage 7 месяцев назад

@@toono21 yes, that’s true. I bought this Jack 3 years ago and the price difference was bigger. At today’s prices, the 3T is better value for money now
