Jack and Torque Wrench Recommendations

[Kezzieboy]

This is the one I bought http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Seale...ket%20Lift

Compromise on full aluminium one. I have heavier and lower cars than x5

I looked at reviews online for torque wrenches. The halfords one was best but 3 times the price. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories...group-test

Ooh, that jack looks like pretty good value, and still light enough for a weed like me to lug around! It's not low entry though, which could be an issue.

And cool, likes like that's the best deal for a torque wrench by far.

can't fault the halford torque wrenches, have a 1/2inch and a 3/8inch and they've have both been excellent - go find someone with a trade card for a bit of a discount

I had been looking at those, but they're bloody steep, especially compared to the one above, so I'm not sure whether they're worth it. Are they lifetime guaranteed? How much does trade knock off?

I also have 2 of the Halfords Torque wrenches. 8-55Nm and 60-300Nm iirc. Cant fault them tbh, except not quite enough for front hub nuts lol. Also used trade card ofc.

And I have a sealey low entry jack, its taken plenty of abuse on a sloping gravel drive without bending like an ally one lol. Just wish it was a bit lighter, really have to be careful of your back putting it in the boot!

Don't have a trade card, might be able to get one with all my uni paperwork but just never got around to trying. Again, the one that MrGTR seems to be almost as good for half the money though, so I'll probably just get that one!

And has anyone actually seen an ally jack bend, though? I don't want something that's going to be that cumbersome, as it comes in and out of my boot all the time.
