Keazet 2T Hydraulic Jack

When you're axle-deep in mud two hours from the nearest town, the jack in your boot is the difference between carrying on and waiting for someone to come past. The Keazet is a hydraulic off-road jack built for exactly that moment — 2,000 kg of lifting capacity, a working range from 150 mm right up to 1,065 mm, and a steel body that doesn't flex when the ground underneath it isn't flat.

The wide lift range is what makes it useful beyond a wheel change. Standard bottle jacks run out of travel long before a lifted bakkie's tyre leaves the ground; the Keazet keeps going, so recovery work, trailer maintenance and roadside repairs are all in reach with one tool.

At 9.9 kg and 860 mm closed, it stows in a load bin or behind a seat without becoming the thing you leave at home. The hydraulic mechanism lifts smoothly and holds steady — no jerking, no sudden drops — which matters when there's a vehicle above it.
