Are these stands and jack good value?

eBay link for trolley jack and axle stands

Quite near to me. Problem is, not sure who they are made by and therefore if they are any good. Seems to set a bell ringing about ones that were available at Lidl or Aldi recently for much the same price so not sure it's worth it?

Personally I'd pay a bit more, and buy a brand name. You don't really need 4 stands either

This is what I was thinking (pricewise) and what I'd overlooked thinking (no need for four!)

But that has made me think "Buy them and sell two stands"

I have a set of (don't laugh!) Woolworths axel stands & trolley jack.

No idea what they cost (they are my Dads) and while they don't go that high (the jack) or that low (the stands) they work...

Dave, why not have a pop up to Machine Mart in Lincoln? Last time I was there they had some good offers on and you've more of a guaruntee that it's better stuff.

Probably a plan with merit, as I don't really need any right now (having said that, do I need any at all? I should just do what I usually do and bring my car to you and let you do all the hard work!

)

Probably would of been useful to say my stands & jack look EXACTLY the same as the ones in the eBay link...

...but in hindsight they aren't the same, so nevermind!

Oh well, it's the thought that counts!
