GADLANE 3-tonne scissor jack kit
When things go pear-shaped on the road, having the right kit makes all the difference. The GADLANE 3-tonne scissor jack kit is built to be tough but dead easy to use. It’s designed to lift most cars, small SUVs and saloons, giving a safe, stable raise for a tyre change or a quick look under the car. Everything you need comes in the pack, so there’s no faffing about looking for extra bits.
What’s in the kit
- 3-tonne scissor jack (GL1561) with a reinforced screw rod and wide base for better stability
- Heavy-duty ratchet to make manual lifting far less of a slog
- 17mm socket drill adapter to speed things up when you’ve got a compatible power drill
- Extendable wheel wrench with four socket sizes to suit most wheel nuts
- Tough storage bag to keep everything neat and compact in the boot
Key benefits and everyday use
The ratchet mechanism takes most of the elbow grease out of lifting — noticeable relief if it’s chucking it down or the hard shoulder is busy. If you want to get finished quicker, slot the 17mm adapter into a cordless drill and let the power do the graft. Handy on long trips, when daylight’s fading or your fingers are freezing.
Made from high-strength cold-rolled steel with an anti-rust finish, the jack is built for regular use and outdoor conditions. The wide base helps stop it sinking on softer ground and gives extra stability, while the reinforced screw rod keeps the lift smooth and reliable.

Practical tips and safety
Always use the jack on a level, firm surface and apply the handbrake before lifting. Chock the opposite wheels for added security. Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack — if you’re doing any work beneath the car, use proper axle stands. Check your vehicle handbook for the manufacturer’s lift points and weight limits before use, and double-check the load rating if you’re lifting larger SUVs or heavier vans.
Who this suits
This kit is spot on for motorists who want a compact, dependable roadside solution: daily commuters, weekend campers and anyone who’d rather be prepared than stranded. It’s small enough to stash in the boot yet sturdy enough for regular use.
In short: a straightforward, no-nonsense scissor jack kit that saves effort, speeds up tyre changes with the drill adapter, and gives you peace of mind on the road. No more faffing about with flimsy tools — just practical kit when you need it most.
