Nobody wants to even think about the possibility of getting a flat tyre – it’s the stuff of nightmares for enthusiasts and everyday motorists alike. But the unfortunate reality is that it happens, more often than ever thanks to the current dilapidated state of Britain’s roads, so it’s best to be prepared just in case, or face a long, boring wait for a recovery van.
Which brings us on to a question: if you drive a car with a spare tyre, is your manufacturer-supplied jack up to the job? If you drive a used car, have you even checked to see if it’s there? An emergency roadside tyre change is one area where you really don’t want to compromise on safety, which means keeping a strong and secure scissor jack in your car is vital, and especially if you drive an older car, it certainly won’t do you any harm to upgrade the original one.
A jack like Clarke’s CSJ1500 1.5 Tonne Scissor Jack is just the sort of thing you need in the dreaded situation when you’re hit with a puncture. Its lightweight but sturdy steel construction means it weighs in at just 3.2kg, meaning you’ll barely even notice it’s in your car most of the time.
Its 1.5-tonne lifting capacity means it’s well suited to lifting a wheel on most passenger cars and smaller SUVs, and its broad base provides some all-important extra stability when lifting. Under load, it has a lifting range of between 230mm and 290mm, giving you ample space for changing all the usual sizes of wheel. Frankly, it’s a product we hope you never have to use, but that’s vital to keep in your car at all times. For just £16.99, it definitely makes more sense to be safe than sorry.
