Anyone tried to post these? I'm away stuck at work!
Ship them to your work address :)
Cheap as chips! I bought a different set for $40 and I thought that was a steal at the time!
noob here, what are these used for? Isn't a stack of bricks more stable?
R.I.P. slowmo.
eh? explain?
Use a stack of bricks, and you're going to die real soon.
hmm.. why would i die if i'm not under the car? it's not helping if you guys don't really explain, or just love taking the piss at someone who asks a genuine question?
yes
yes to who?
the person i was replying to
Stack of bricks only for stealing wheels off cars.
No. Don't use bricks. Use the jack stands.
If your life is not worth $20, then sure, bricks are fine.
I usually use two jack stands AND place a few old racing tyres I have under the car in case the car falls off the jack stands.
bathuu. Welcome and thanks for the posts, but please keep the same store deals together, we have limited space on front page and it keeps this space for other deals.
when they say 3000kg for a pair, is that 3000kg each or 1500kg each?
SWL of each stand is 3000kg
Yeah tried these exact same ones on my X5 (a big suv) and it holds the car up, no problems. No dramas, no accidents. =) I bought them during the last 20% off sale.
how much were they during the 20% sale?
I payed $16 in-store. And this was at their Nunawading, VIC store.
shame you can't pick up .
they do have a B&M store or two.
I just don't want to turn up tomorrow and get the usual "none in stock" .
Well, went to my local store in WA (Joondalup) and they have around 20 pairs at the rear of the store….
Hmm are these safe? I just keep on thinking back to all those past recalls @ Supercheap for the SCA brand over the years.. ie car stands, car jacks, etc.. after all its you underneath a 1.5 or 2 tonne car :)
THey meet Australian standards, so it's not like they haven't been tested? :)
4 stands = 12 Tonne SWL, so an extra 6x Factor of Safety (50/50 weight split assumed).
FWIW, I use this exact type. And I'm not dead :)
I had a set of those ones ~8 years or so ago that were recalled, to be safe I always put something else like bricks or timber as a backup.
I want to buy these just in case one day I need to get under my car and don't feel like digging a big hole in my front yard…
when does the deal finish?
it says 3000 kg
lol Learn2Read.
online or in store?
both
These ones are crap, too hard to fiddle with the pin.
The ones that you just pull up and automatically set are much better. They arn't that much more expensive.
I think your referring to the ratcheting stands, unfortunately they weren't on special, but I agree they are much better (and the ratchet stands have more levels to choose for the height).
