ciderman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I favour the ratcheting ones , You cant loose the pins and end up using a screwdriver or an m12 bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Go for as heavy duty as you can afford, even the 6t ones (as previous post) are fairly wobbly on a higher setting. With my previous set I jacked the car up leaving the wheels on and put it on stands, I then succeeded in pushing the car off stands with a hefty shove. I binned that set. I have a 12t pair now which are better, I am still not happy being under the car without also supporting it with a couple of (17t) bottle jacks as well.

hoarebag Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We have these:- http://www.toolstop.co.uk/index.php?option...utm_medium=base Very tall and will hold the chassis high and stable enough to alow full droop without needing the pins.

Dunc Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Any chance of a link Tony..... Could do with a pair myself..... Mine are almost identical, but 10T ones and red. Superb quality and with a Union Flag on each one. Came from Rimmers a few years back, worth a try to see if they've still got them. Be careful when you're carrying them and you accidentally click the ratchet and the leg goes back in and pinches the bit of skin between your thumb and forefinger in the top of the stand... Ouch.
