Hi,
I needed to buy a new jack for using on the XC60 as the cheap and cheery small Jacks (2Ton) I had were not up to the job.
I purchased a Sealey 3290CX (sorry 4 x 4) and found it a totally different beast to my older smaller jacks.
First it weighs a ton. I can only just lift it. The old 2 ton ones I can lift with 1 hand!
All the joints and components etc are substantial.
It has a wider wheel base for better stability.
It is a totally different design eg. the lever arm is fixed and you turn it to release with a controllable action to slowly lower the car.
It will easily lift the XC60 wheels off the ground using body jacking points.
I don't claim it's a professional commercial garage tool used several times a day. But it is sturdy and compedent tool for my use.
PS. I would never trust a jack and always use additional support of Jack Stands.
PS It cost me £80 3 years ago.
Bob
