Just before I hand over some money... (axle stands)
« on: 19 April 2013, 23:14:14 »
.....has anyone any experience of these?

They look proper sturdy, well over the desired load carrying ability and good price. Good reviews too.

They look pretty good and, from the photo, look like plenty of 'fine' adjustment  :y

I'm no expert but I don't like them because they look like they will dig into the chassis rail. I have these, as they sit nicely when jacking up the front.
