Other Bad Axel Stands

I recently got some Loctite 243 thread lock. Invented and made in the USA taken over by a German company and now made in China. All in the name of corporate profit margins.
 
It's common to see 'England' or 'assembled in UK'. Means nothing, assembled just means the last bits were clipped on in UK, having been manufactured in China

I agree, the picture however is of something actually made here from a time when it was common.
To say nothing is made here is incorrect, or the CNC machines at work are not creating anything but swarf...... :D
Not that you would want anything from our place unless you generate noxious waste!

Everybody produces noxious waste. Do you make butt plugs? :D:D:D
 
I have two sets of axle stands that are identical.

From different suppliers, different colour, but other wise identical. EXCEPT.....
One set states SWL 1500Kg per stand
the other states SWL 3000Kg per stand.

I have yet to work out the actual diffference in them except the colour and the label.

Cheers
It is quite common to see axle stands rated as a pair, rather that each. So it could explain their difference in rating. Or one company has a much tighter margin of failure than the other, so they YOLO'd it in the name of profit.
 
Yeah, but these were rated each .

Cheers
Could be different grade metal and better quality of welds. I'm no metallurgist so I couldn't say for sure. Though the cynic in me wants to think they just ballsed out the safety margin hoping to score more profit.
