Ahoy-hoy.
Just got a tasty tax rebate, and figured I could treat myself to some new tools.
My cheapo halfords jack has been pissing me off of late, and the Radical guys had a beautiful Sealey aluminium low-entry, quick lift jack. It was wonderful, and I want one.
I found this:
SGS Jack and Stands
Which seems like a pretty good deal, really, as I need a couple more axle stands too. Anybody have experience of SGS Engineering? Or any alternatives they might recommend?
Secondly, I'd like a torque wrench, as just torquing my wheel nuts up to 'ummmm, that'll do' probably isn't ideal. No idea what they should be torqued up to, but a reasonably priced torque wrench that'll do them, and other jobs on the car would be great. Some sort of guarantee wouldn't go amiss, either.
I eagerly await your responses, I will wait vigilantly all through the night for them. Or I might just check up on this thread some time tomorrow. Whatever.
