I, like others, have often eyed up the Aldi cheapies knocking around from time to time
Don’t risk it peeps they not suitable for a RR or LR would use them for £7 and charge you £70.
, stay safe instead don’t put your life on it.

If they squish you first use, that's a bit of a damp squib

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

Most of the time it's impossible to tell if what you are buying was made in China or not.

I have plenty of axle stands all are the pin through type. I would never use the cam held type they are accidents waiting to happen in my view.

Sorry, that means nothing these days. Next to nothing is actually made in the UK even if it has a UK brand stamped on it.

There is no tongue in cheek emoji lol. The picture is of a Haltrac made in England in 1960 and owned by my father before me!
