What are there axle stands like? Strength wise?

Be weary of setting a car on them an getting squashed lol

 

[Lewis.]

My ek is currently sat on 4 off them, no problems lol

 

[KyleR]

I imagine any car will be fine on them and if you get 4, you're only using them at half load at the most.

They look like the same ones I bought a while ago only problem I have with them is that they are high enough before you raise them up. Makes it harder if your trying to raise one side of the car as them sometimes dont fit under

We've had 2 of the jacks break after a few uses. apparently a common problem with them or so they say, exchanged them no bother....but not long till it breaks again, wee fine bit of metal attaching the leaver to the piston snaps.

Anyone who has the low profile jack find it that much more useful than a normal one? I doubt it would fit under my car, so if im still going to have to roll onto bricks then should i just save myself the £25?

So is this ***** or worth a punt at £22.50?

Ive a jack used it for years and no problem, same for the axle stands.

That one there doesn't really look that low profile though?

Got this one and so far is great.

Wouldnt buy another one my self, only lasted a week or two, though i know the side of it not being designed to be used daily etc etc.....for the odd time user, but i have other halfords jacks which after good few years are still going strong, and were "budget" items.

Ive 2 of the normal non low profile ones, think they were under the £30 mark each, and both have lasted no problem. though i have to faff about with building ramps etc to get the TT high enough to get it on blocks to put the jack under, though the low profile one went under the car no bother, just a shame it kept breaking

Damn, the code has expired! Does the trade card give you a discount on jacks?

Used it for the first time this week. Had to raise the 350 up to the max to get axle stands under her. Lifted it a good 3-4 times up and the same down again, never missed a beat. It's also low enough to fit under the 350 which is lowered by 30mm with a hockey puck attached Best £22.50 I could spend on a jack.
