Good value too.
The thing is Simon, the car won't bend in the middle either, which is why I use an 18" long length of 4"x2" shaped to accept my axle stands.







There is no risk of damage to the sill with the load even distributed, simply remove the jacking pad, place the wood so the shaped section is directly under the jacking point, jack up the car on the timber inboard of the jacking point, position the stand, then lower

Very cheap, very reliable, and most importantly safe and secure
