Buy - Used Bottle jack with pressure gauge

In the remotest chance somebody out there has a disused bottle jack with a pressure gauge on it
they'd like to sell, that is compatible with one of those cheapy hand cranked 12 tonne garage presses
let me know please as I'll probably take it off your hands though it does need to be posted to me in Belfast
and obviously the gauge needs to be functioning.

Cheers
Noel.

Most jacks will have 3 ports, a release, adjustment and a pressure port for a gauge, purely on weight you're better off getting one local as the shipping will cost as much as a used jack or buy a new one for around £45

Thanks bob as I was under the impression the bottle would need to be drilled into followed by finding various pipe fittings to install the gauge but maybe not.

There are loads on the market, it's a case of having a look at the jack its self - 12 tonne is one of those odd sizes 10 or 15 are more common, as soon as you start looking for anything specialized up goes the price

you can get a complete Chinese press for under £150 what sort of makes repairing things not that cost affective, unless it's a good quality item to start with, is it worth the time and effort
