    I think this one is probably an american import but works fine on a 110 transformer.
    I tried it on a range cooker and could move it with one hand with ease

    Been looking into these for a while, as the yanks rave about them.

    Although no doubt its one of those (toys) tools sorry that would stay on my van far more than off it does make a lot of sense...I'm going to try find one now as I can't have someone else having one without me enjoying the fun:D

    Got 4 of these the other day, worked really well for lifting desks and slipping out tiles,
    you can get four guys on some very heavy stuff and move it out the way

    they are really good. However, be warned. Do not lift a washing machine if the gap between counter top and washer is tight. It will lift the counter top off.

    When Sid first got his we tried it in his kitchen. The gap was tight so he said " i will stick my fingers in the gap and hold it down if it tries to lift the counter top.

    Well im sure you can all work out what happened LOL.
