Tool specialist Draper has made a new addition to it Draper Expert range in the form of the 3 tonne high performance Evolution Jack.

The new jack, stock number 70811, has many advanced features which are not found on standard models. These include powerful twin pistons, enabling the saddle to be raised to a full height of 580mm, with just four and a half strokes of the extra-long EVA foam protected handle. Most standard 3 tonne jacks lift only to 500mm, but Draper says the Evolution Jack offers greater height with less effort.

The jack also features an internal magnetic filtration system which makes sure that the pump’s hydraulic oil is consistently kept free of contaminants, ensuring a longer life. Added to this the jack has five grease nipples as opposed to the normal one making all round lubrication easier.

Due to its low-profile design, this jack can be used with a vehicle as low as 100mm and the non-marking EVA bumper will protect the bodywork from any damage occurring whilst the vehicle is being raised or lowered.  The universal joint release provides precise load control in any handle position, particularly important for a smooth descent.

Robust steel construction, including the wheels, means the jack is designed to last and this is reflected in Draper’s three-year warranty on parts and labour.

The Evolution Jack is part of the high-quality Draper Expert range designed to withstand the demands of the busy garage or workshop. For full details and to see more of Draper’s growing automotive range visit www.drapertools.com
