Been keeping an eyeing on this bad boy and probably worth it at this price point in the age of inflation.
Part of the SCA Catalogue Sale(supercheapauto.com.au) so a few other items like these SCA Car Stands Pin 1200kg(supercheapauto.com.au) to go along on sale as well.
How are you going to get the car onto the stands?
In comparison to the jack stands recommended in the OP.
Depends on use case, but I agree. Those 1200kg look so flimsy
Not really good quality, I’ve owned one for nearly two years used it maybe less then 4 times and it’s broken… doesn’t hold weight anymore
Trolley jacks require maintenance and servicing.
I have a +25 year old bottle jack in the shed that laughs at your trolley jacks.
They do but 2 years, 4 times used and broken? That’s not a maintenance/service issue that’s a quality issue.
Clearly mate as most tools lol, I put new oil in it and still doesn’t work can just keep pumping and it’ll go down, since I have heavy duty one I use that and never have had an issue and I’ve used it like 15 times including jacking the trailer up like once a month
Were the old one I used it maybe 4 times max to lift my car onto jacks
If you want a better tool for significantly more money, this guy has been great for me - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273767087282
Goes far lower, twice as high and lifts more weight. Yes it is heavy, but it's amazing just running it under anything no matter how low and lifting it nearly 2 feet high. Saves me heaps of time around the shed, but you don't want to have to carry it far though!
I own the one in the OPs listing, but I wish I had one like you linked to.
The tool pro one doesn't really go low enough to get under most sports cars centre mounts.
That's the issue I had. Lifting a Tesla you also need to place a rubber puck between the car and jack, so the jack needs to go even lower. You can always drive up onto a block of timber or something to get the extra height, but it's just more mucking around.
so you can do a oil change
@zombie hunter: Yup.
People forget there's 2 filters and 2 oil locations on a Tesla (assuming you have 2 drive units), it's not a small job to do.
Or if you have a costco membership, I upgraded from the one in OP's post to this: https://www.costco.com.au/Automotive/Car-Accessories/Trolley…
I would be cautious to use a noname jack, especially given how many of them fail to meet AS/NZS 2693 specifications and are recalled. On the other hand, the $340 price point at least suggests it might be solid product. Definitely kudos for the design. 68-600mm with 2Ton capacity is really impressive.
Just putting my opinion in that you should be opting for a minimum 2000kg rated jack stand, those 1200kg ones would've been sufficient in the 90s and even then I wouldn't trust them. Of all the things to seek a bargain on, cheaping out on jack stands is not it.
Get the 3000kg TOolPro if you can.
For an extra $15 I would get these car stands(supercheapauto.com.au)
