by MY02B4 on 07-12-06 10:27 PM Hey guys just want to know what type of axle stands you use. I am very hesitant to crawl under the car unless i have a good set of stands. Usually I use a couple of jacks and a alot of bricks but since its xmas time i thought i'd make life easier for myself. I know the good ones can range up to a few hundred bucks but I dont know if thats overkill or not. Repco and similar stores sell pin type stands that claim to support 1200kgs which i assume is per stand. Are these dodgy? |

by tHe gUt on 08-12-06 02:13 PM we've got two. these are fricken solid. when i needed a hoist, we went to supercheap to get their '2 tonne' hoist, it weighed nothing, my dad luaphed and left the store. so obviously ask yourself if you think that it could hold that weight. and kosti...what you said literaly saved my life this year. |

by Evil_VZ-T on 08-12-06 03:58 PM what ever you do DO NOT use bricks or other dodgy things, i have heard many horror stories about guys who have used them to work under their car, and a fatality occured.
