I've found that my exhaust bag is far more useful. It can be used on any type of car, where a Hi- lift jack really needs proper jacking points to be of any use. Yes I know you can use it for other things but I've never seen anyone that desperate that they what to.

A lot of guys use Jackalls over here, including myself. They are perfectly good jacks, infact I would argue that the one I have is better than a couple of mates Hi-lifts. The Jackall seems to work well whether it is looked after or not whereas I find the Hi-lifts a bitch if they are left out in the rain or full of crap. The initial reason for the Jackall was because it was cheaper, but I would definatley buy another.

It is used for everything 4x4, tree felling/logging and I even carry one in my van for use at work as a carpenter.
