This is the one I originally bought which is all ali, the one I linked to is their latest offering which seems to be half and half.

Aye, but all silver, no colour.

I had a couple of Big Red ones that were amazing but some light fingered scum broke into the workshop and took 'em. Although a friend also had one and the seals went after 3 months so they might also be a bit on the cheap box shifters front and luck of the draw.

I’ve got one of those in the garage, it goes down gently, we phoned Michelin & couldn‘t supply seals as they only sell them, found out who made it for Michelin & they refused to supply on the grounds of safety. I cleaned it & sorted it & it worked for a short while, then reverted to its old tricks. It belongs to my son who said chuck it in the tip, but I’m loathe to do that, I shall just keep falling over it. He got a replacement from Costco & that’s been fine for several years now.

Michelin flog loads of stuff here but seem to make only the tyres themselves, everything else is rebadged.

There’s a sort of parallel thread where ukracer is after bits for a Jack which seems to be murican but is either made by Michelin or bought by them and painted blue.

Have a look at that one as the bit he needs seems to fit tons of different ones.

I have a low profile 2.25 ton Clarke jack weighs a ton may have to look at some of these get one been after an Ali jack for a while as humping my one in and out of a Land Rover was less than fun. Vans a bit better as a tad lower but not by much. May just get a 1.5 ton and use bottle jacks for everything else. Those air jacks with multiple stages always look good especially if you have a compressor on hand and quite light.

Despite being almost all alloy it’s still blooming heavy.
