————————————————————-
Mega T2 (Facom DL.200SLPB) NOTE: 16/30
The Mega T2 Extra Low Roller Jack is a professional quality 2 ton jack, the Spanish brand Mega combining technicality and innovation in its range. This jack is currently on sale on Millmatpro.com at a price of 310.08 euros including VAT.
Handling on the ground: Comfortable nylon wheel (low noise), 2 position handle, but still a long chassis of 88 cm, all for 32 kg. 3/5
Usable heights: Rather classic size for a minimum height of 75 mm and a maximum lift of 465 mm. 2/5
Depth: Usable profile under the vehicle of only 40 cm. 2/5
Stability: High stability on the ground and safety when lowering thanks to the dead man's system, as soon as the handle is released, the lowering stops automatically. 5/5
Lifting speed: Convenient thanks to the foot pedal, but this jack is still a single-piston mechanism, so the lifting speed is affected. 2/5
Finish and accessories: A nice plastic tray for the parts, but no rubber buffer and no foam protection on the handle. 2/5

Mega T2X (Facom DL.200LPPB) NOTE: 19/30
The Mega T2X Extra Low Roller Jack is a professional quality 2 ton jack, the Spanish brand Mega combining technicality and innovation in its range. This jack is currently on sale on Millmatpro.com at a price of 439.01 euros including VAT.
Ground handling: Despite an impressive 92 cm long chassis and 44.5 kg, the 5th central wheel works miracles, this jack does not roll, it flies! 5/5
Usable heights: Announced on paper as 48mm minimum, and 520mm maximum. Yes, the front wheels are 48mm, but they are not supported! So as soon as they are in support add the head of the jack, the real mini height is noted at 75 mm. 3/5
Depth: 43cm under the vehicle for 92cm of total length, can do better! 3/5
Stability: This is the most controllable rolling jack on the market, this professional garage jack is equipped with a deadman system, and also a controlled descent system with two settings (slow and fast). 5/5
Lift speed: Single piston system, and therefore the same worries as its cousin the T2. 1/5
Finish and accessories: A nice plastic tray for parts, but no rubber buffer and no foam protection on the handle. 2/5

Beta 3030 NOTE: 22/30
The Beta 030300020 Extra Low Roller Jack is a professional quality 2 ton jack with 6 wheels. This jack is currently on sale on Millmatpro.com at the special price of 384.00 euros (including VAT).
Handling on the ground: The 6 wheels do not penalize the handling, on the contrary, and the chassis is rather short 86 cm for 43 kg. 3/5
Usable heights : Minimum height of 85 mm (the highest of the 4 jacks) but a very good elevation of 520 mm. 3/5
Depth: Big weak point here, as just over 30cm of useful depth under the vehicle. 1/5
Stability: The 6 wheels provide a real plus in stability and safety, and the lowering control is the most accurate of all the jacks tested. 5/5
Lifting speed: A very good surprise, as fast as the KS tools, even though it is a single piston! 5/5
Finish and accessories: Nice finish, and all the required accessories, foam pad, buffer, and storage tray. 5/5

Ks tools 160.0367 NOTE: 24/30
The KS Tools 1600370 Extra Low Roller Jack is a professional quality, quick lift 2 ton jack. This jack is currently on sale at Millmatpro.com at the special price of 266.00 euros including VAT.
Ground handling: Quiet nylon wheel, handy twist handle for moving around, 43kg and 85cm chassis, shortest, really decent. 4/5
Usable heights: 70mm in mini height, the lowest in real life, and 510mm max height, a nice range. 5/5
Depth: A big plus with 50 cm usable under the vehicle, thanks to a well-made slope. 5/5
Stability: Caution, uncontrolled descent, handle with care. 1/5
Lifting speed: With the foot pedal, but also the double piston system, the lift is very fast. However, the handle is not in direct contact with the pistons, so the lift requires a large amplitude, a recurrent small defect on KS tools jacks. 4/5
Finish and accessories: large diameter rubber buffer, small stainless steel storage cup, safety foam on the handle, everything is there! 5/5
