GADLANE scissor jack kit – 1.5 tonne portable car jack with drill adapter
This compact kit really takes the faff out of tyre changes and emergency lifts. It’s aimed at drivers who want a straightforward, reliable solution in the boot — whether you’re a daily commuter, a weekend camper or just like being prepared. You get two ways to lift the car: a heavy-duty ratchet for slow, controlled raising, and a 17mm socket drill adapter for when you’ve got a compatible drill to hand and want to get the job done quicker.
what’s in the kit
- The scissor jack (1.5 tonne capacity) with a lifting range of roughly 3.13–13.17 inches (about 80–335 mm).
- A robust ratchet handle that makes lifting much easier — handy if you don’t fancy wrestling at the roadside.
- An extendable wheel wrench with four common socket sizes, so one tool covers most wheel nuts.
- A 17mm socket drill adapter compatible with most cordless and corded drills to speed things up when you’ve got power available.
- A practical carry bag to keep everything together and stop tools rattling about in the boot.
built to cope – and built to last
Made from cold-rolled steel with an anti-rust finish and a reinforced screw rod, this jack is designed to take the knocks of roadside use. The wide base helps stability on tarmac and firmer ground, and the overall design balances toughness with portability — it’s not a workshop floor jack, but it’s a dependable companion when you need to change a tyre or deal with a small roadside issue.
how it helps
- Quick tyre changes: hook up the drill adapter to save time and effort — especially useful on a dark lane or a busy layby.
- Controlled lifting: the ratchet gives you finer control when placing the jack, reassuring if the ground’s a bit uneven.
- Space-saving: everything packs into the provided bag, so no loose tools cluttering the boot.
- Versatile fit: suitable for many saloons, hatchbacks, crossovers and a lot of SUVs — always check your vehicle’s jack points and wheel specs for a perfect fit.
safety and tips
Always use the jack on a level, firm surface and apply the handbrake. Chock the opposite wheels where possible and never get under the vehicle while it’s supported only by the scissor jack — use axle stands for any extended work. The drill adapter works with most drills but not every model, so give it a quick test at home if you’re unsure. Finally, double-check your car’s clearance and manufacturer jack points before lifting — better safe than sorry.
