    Think I will stick to my old ones, they may not go very high but at least they don’t try and kill me.

    luckily the wheels were still on

  3. I would never trust Chinese ratchet stands. One flaw in that cheap casting, and you’re dead.

    They have 3ton on them and were a birthday present from my parents. I don’t think they like me.

    I always put the wheel I’ve taken off under the vehicle just in case something like this happens but I didn’t even get that far.
     
  7. Have they taken out an insurance policy on you recently ;)?

    Honestly, I would never, ever trust the ratchet types. Steel tubes and pins for me.

    Blimey... Glad there was no injury....

    Another vote for good steel pin types.

    .. It's jacking up I'm now scared about since the original one snapped and the bus fell.

    Now I'm using a little trolley with blocks of wood.... Not great.
