Need some jacks, what do you all recommend?

[shaiboyuk]

Hi all,

So I've had 2 punctures in the last two weeks and had to use the VW widowmaker jack.
Thankfully it was used on the driveway, and even then I still got the fear lol

Anyway, I need to get a compact jack for the van, was thinking a bottle jack in a case?
Any of these any good: Amazon List Link or any recommendations?

Also need a good jack for at home, in the garage, what do yous recommend for there?
Any of these on Costco: Costco Link

Thanks
Paul

Be aware that some bottle jacks won’t go under the chassis once the tyre is flat, so you would have to lift the vehicle slightly with scissor jack supplied or run the deflated wheel up a levelling ramp etc.

There’s so much crap lifting equipment on the market now that the best you can hope for is an individual serial number and certificate of conformity as a indication of quality control.
I would avoid something you might find in Lidl between the toasters and gherkins.
