This is more like very deep shingle stones, I tried in several locations, but the whole car just moved before it even got off the ground.

I gave up and moved to solid ground.

Heard back from Bushranger and they say the jack should NOT be used for changing tyres :shock:

I bought it for that.

They are be good about it and although out of warranty they would like to inspect it. I think this must be a safety thing in case of accident. To be honest it does mention it in the datasheet.

Andy

Garry and I were going to try and sell a jack and do a huge group buy. However we ran into issues as none of them say they should be used for tyres- their use is to lift the car to big or use waffle boards.

We o ly wanted ones that they said it was doable. Guess they all are but they are covering their arses.

Lifting a car to change a tyre is the same as lifting it to jam rocks under the tyres...you need to same (maybe even less) height....

I guess they are just covering their arses as changing a tyre means that people would have the car raised for a lot longer than required to just "unstuck" a sunken wheel.

If anything happened to the jack whilst the car is raised, the damage caused by not having a wheel on the hub will be much much worse than having it there...I suppose this is their worry.

Guys,

Is this the draper copy?, i have one and they are totally useless for anything exept a small family hatch.
If you need it off road in an emergency situation can you really rely on it????

Im afraid to say you pays ya money....... :sofa:

Andy's got the proper one, the one that Charles has just brought.

I've got the draper one and I've heard the various comments - proof will be when I get round to using it!.

Keep meaning to test it out in the day light but things keep croping up! :thumbright:

Until I start getting beard benefit (and I don't just mean the way it velcros onto a poorly trimmed lady muffin) then you can all shove your child benefit up your collective wotsits :rasp: ND - 04/10/2010 10:28pm
