I have a Sealey 1025HL. It is high lift so useful when using the centre lifting points.

Quite heavy and solid.

I would definitely recommend.

I have a decade's old one but if I was going to get one now these folks crop up regularly when this question is asked.

Mine doesn't go under newer cars, they need to be lifted a couple of inches then it's fine - not an issue on the 75 but maybe something worth considering if you've got other cars.

They do replacement gas struts for our cars too.

Happy shopping.

I would definitely look for a 3 tonne heavy duty high lift trolley jack that is capable of lifting your car on the centre jacking points giving you greater flexibility for use on your car . While you do not particularly need to in vest in a professional garage jack you want one that is fit for purpose
Nothing wrong with any of the jacks listed but what you spend depends on your budget .
One of my Jacks at home is a National Machinery 3 tonne trolley jack which I use in my garage and while not breaking the bank it is of a decent quality

Thanks for your thoughts Steve.
Definitely one to think about if I can't convince Halfords that I'm "Trade".

Please, would you be good enough to explain why when the car weight is 1530 kg if lifted off all 4 wheels?

Thanks for your thoughts Josh.
How do I convince Halfords to sell me one at "Trade" price?

I have an SGS trolley jack and all I can say is AVOID.
It does not lower the car, it drops it

What was the customer service like when you told them?

Always interesting to know how "problems" are dealt with as stuff breaks or is duff - it happens - it's what happens next that I'm particularly interested in. That's how I choose the folks I buy from.
