Best scissor jacks in the UK
What is the best scissor jack? According to its name, a scissor jack opens and closes similarly to a pair of scissors. Such models have smaller sizes and are simple in design. However, scissor jacks have certain restrictions related to maximum lifting weight. Besides, their final position should be always levered and tuned, otherwise, the scissor units tend to tumble.
Mechanical jacks consume no power except the manual efforts of an operator, thus they are cheap (around £10 - £20) and simpler in the design. The best trusted is a Goodyear 1.5-Ton Scissor Jack. The height of this jack varies from 115 mm to 390 mm. The downside of such tools is their lower lifting capacity. From this point of view, they are less hefty than their hydraulic or electric counterparts.
The popularity of the advanced jacks can be explained by a big number of the advantages they offer in terms of their design reliability and relative simplicity of operation. If you want to learn more about a hydraulic trolley-type jack, read Best Trolley Jacks in the UK in 2021
