Heyner Duitsland Heavy Duty autoschaarkrik met ratel, voertuighefgereedschap voor noodgevallen (2 ton)

A quality jack that will do the job. The bag is also a nice addition.

I bought this as an emergency jack for my Tesla, which is a very heavy car. I used it to change the wheels this year, and it appeared to work. As with any scissors jack, I wouldn't rely on it to hold the car up while working underneath, of course, but for changing the tires, it seemed to do the job. (I bought a set of those rubber hockey pucks with the nipple in them to go into the Tesla mounting holes, and slid this jack under those.)The ratchet is a nice touch, works well, reversible. I didn't need to use the extension, but including that is a nice touch in case you need to slide the jack too far under the car (i.e., the door panel sticks out) to use the ratchet.I bought this because of the case. It's nice, holds everything together in the trunk. I like it.

I have a VAG car, and while the oft-called "Widowmaker" jack provided with VAG spare tyre kits will get you out of a tight spot, they have a reputation for instability and the metal to metal contact on the sill means more than occasional use will have you down to bare metal on your jacking point sooner or later.My search for a better jack on Amazon led me to the Heyner range of jacks, of which there is quite a wide range. I chose the 2 ton version because I figured it would be the least likely to fail when jacking up my car. I then had to work out which version of the 2 ton jack I would order, as there are a few variations, but eventually I settled on this kit with the ratchet tool.The jack is well-made, mostly from formed thick sheet steel riveted together, with substantial rivets. The central lifting screw seems strong and the square thread is cleanly formed. The jack raised and lowered with a bit of a squeak when I first tried it, so I put some grease on both of the threaded holes the lifting screw passes through, and that sorted the squeak out.The rubber pad which makes contact with your car has a slot for the sill seam which is about 10mm wide, which for me is a good fit on my jacking point. (See pic). The pad rotates, but not freely. So once set in position, it stays put.The standard handle is awkward to use when the jack is low, but the ratchet handle makes life a lot easier and allowed me to quickly and easily raise my car. There's a good clearance between the ratchet handle and the side of my car in the pic I've uploaded, but bear in mind that as the jack raises, that clearance reduces somewhat, but not so much that jacking the car is a problem.The ratchet itself looks and feels a little cheaper in the flesh than it does in the product pictures, and I've tried to capture that budget look and feel in my pic of it. That said, it works perfectly well and is lightweight, so I have no complaints. I would definitely buy the jack with the ratchet tool, as the standard "turn and then swing round for next turn" handles are always annoyingly awkward to use on scissor jacks. At least the clip retaining the standard handle is easy to remove, and then can be refitted to the handle for storage. Talking of storage, everything fits back into the provided storage bag without a struggle to cram it in.Designed in Germany then made in China might put some people off, but what it really means is that you're getting a well designed product manufactured at a price that's more palatable. I'm very pleased with this jack and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I hope this review and the pictures I've uploaded help you with your buying decision.

not recommended for offroad use, broken from first use

Although I have not had the opportunity to use this (I bought it as an emergency jack to keep in the boot of a classic car) it looks sturdy enough, and the bag it comes in will stop the jack rattling around. In fact, there was room enough inside the bag to enable me to put in my collapsable warning triangle as well. It arrived very quickly, and although is more expensive than other scissor jacks, it feels more robust and has the option of using a ratchet as well.

I use for steadying my Motorhomes when parked up. Once in place doesn’t move or rock. Good piece of kit for money and easy to use. I bought 2 till try at the back end of Motorhome and then bought another 2 for the front
