    Went to Costco 2 weeks ago and they still had the jacks there. This is in Canberra though.

    I ended up buying this one - TRADEQUIP HEAVY DUTY LOW PROFILE HIGH LIFT JACK

    Expensive but one of the best investments I've made. I don't ever dread about swapping my wheels around anymore haha.

    Ooh now that by far the jack with the lowest "minimum height". The ones I've seen are all 90-91mm minimum height. 70mm minimum height is perfect for nearly all applications. Not too expensive either.

    Dave, did you head over to Costco for that looksee?
    Just had a look on their website & it only seemed to have this one listed:



    $125, but weighs in at a bit over 24kg's... Not sure how much a 'lightweight' one weighs? The brand is Torin.

    Cheers.

    The light weight ones weight around 15kg and can lift 1,000 - 1,200 kg.
