Already reserved to collect mine tomorrow, doesn't matter if it gives up after a year of abuse for that price.
The forum i saw it posted on, someone said that they have the jack and its still going strong after a few years!.
My current jack is a 20+years old Halfords jobby that i acquired from my brother, thats had no maintenence and still keeps going, just creeps down if left up for a while. I've been looking about for a 2nd one as some jobs would be easier with 2 and ideally i'd get a 4x4 one but at that price i'm not passing it up.

What you need now is a piece of 18mm ply a bit bigger than the jack to sit it on if you need to use it on grass or soft ground, screw / nail / nut and bolt a piece of wood to each end for safety so it dont roll off, they tend to creep as going up on the wheels.
