Is there anywhere cheaper than ebay that anyone knows?

Theyre there for about £150 delivered.

Is that about as cheap as theyll be?

try borrowing one fro a friendly local garage?? its worth a try, providing you dont plan on needing it for months on end. can usually get them free of charge that way

I got a clarke one from machine mart a few years ago, one of the cheapest ones, I think it was only about £70 and has been great.
I have used it a couple of times but lent it to one of my mates and he has used it to get engines out of everything. Another friend also used it builing a westfield.
It folds up when your not using it and comes boxed when you buy it so it fits in the car.
Weighs about 70kg, so you need a couple of you to lift it

You can hire them from some places like machine mart I think.

try an HSS hire shop. They deliver too if you're lucky

I paid about £170 for mine (well i paid half, and a mate who needed an engine fitting paid half ) And it's been used to change more engines than i can count. One of those things you dont know how useful it is until you get it
