Capacity per euro, across everything
Equipment rather than hand tools: jacks with high ratings, extraction tanks, heavy impact wrenches. The proposition is size and capacity for the money.
More than most. Lift ranges, tank capacities, and — unusually — working torque separately from breakaway torque on the impact wrench. That last distinction is one most brands avoid.
Fit, rather than capacity. A 12 t bottle jack with a 205 mm (8.07 in) closed height is not a car jack, and a one-inch impact wrench is not a car tool. The specifications are published; the question is whether they match the vehicle.
Vans, trailers, machinery and workshop equipment, where capacity is genuinely needed and trade prices are hard to justify for occasional use.
Air · 1 inch drive · 6711 Nm working / 7016 Nm breakaway stated · pinless clutch · 6-stage control · aluminum housing
A truck tool: one-inch drive, a stated 7016 Nm breakaway torque, and a six-stage control — far beyond a car, and priced accordingly.
Best for: Trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery — not a family car.

Twelve metric tons at twenty dollars: a heavy-duty bottle jack whose published lift range makes it usable on pick-ups and light trucks rather than cars.

9.5 L tank · manual vacuum, no power or air needed · one-piece tank with O-rings · main hose plus 3 extension tubes
The tank version: 9.5 liters of capacity drawn by hand, with three extension tubes to reach the bottom of a sump through the dipstick.
