Without spending an absolute fortune, would one of these be a suitable purchase for the odd wheel off job?

Don't know of anyone that's got that one.
But there's a few that's got this one [Shiney Mousse, Myself]

Find it excellent, very stable and SM's jack adapter makes lifting a doddle.
edit: It's got to be the 3 tonne 'Strong Arm' NOT the 'Quick Lift'. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

2.25 is ok for lifting one corner. The Sealey 3 tonner will lift 2 wheels off the floor (I realised when I thought the jack was getting hard work  ) Disco 5 HSE Lux

In addition to the trolley jack I also have a Bushranger Air Jack - this is a lot easier to transport around (comes in a dinky little bag too) in the car in case you need to change a wheel (or two) whilst out somewhere

Although they do the same job (lift the car) you have to remember that the Bushranger is an exhaust jack only whereas the Takla can also be inflated via an air line. When inflated, the general shape of the Takla tends to deform less than the Bushranger too I think. I would guess the Takla is made of heavier duty material. The Bushranger has no 'deflate' valve where ISTR the Takla has.
