ukchris Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 They certainly look good, other than having padded tops and less than an inch more height is there really a significant difference between ones that are $25 for a pair and ones that are $160 a pair/ Although not cheap, the Esco stands are fantastic. They have plenty of height, a secure locking pin, and a padded flat top that doesn't mar the chassis rails. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There are a few things that I like compared to the traditional style that I used for years. Whether they are worth the premium is a personal decision. For my cars, the flat top fits the underside of the car more securely without doing damage to powder coating or undercoating (this is just like a proper lift) it uses a pin to secure the sliding portion rather than a ratcheting mechanism. Occasionally you hear stories where the teeth weren't securely seated and it releases allowing the car to fall. Rare yes, but this eliminates that concern. The stands use flat feet which are very stable (no rocking) and don't dig into the floor. Not much of an issue if you don't have a floor treatment. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
