I had a clarke aluminium race jack. They are absolute poo! First time I jacked my starlet the seals went. Got it repaired and it lasted a while but the bolts always came lose. The seals went again and I got it repaired under warrenty just after making a fuss. Then the seals went again shortly after. Go to you local snap on man and buy the blue point low entry one they are about 140 I think. An awesome quality jack which will last year's. They are very well built to last in a garage. A clarke aluminium one wouldn't last 5 minutes. I couldn't trust another one of those.
