Hi all,
I am planning to by a set of Axle stands. Does 2tonne stands suffice or should I get a set 3tonne ones ?
-
i have a set from mechine mart and have been told they are great. i have no concerns going under the car with them.
under no circumstances buy the folding ones. they are quite frenkly dangerous!

these are the ones i use and they arnt to expensive ether! :)

I have two sets of 2 tonne stands and i have used them over and over again so i would say that 2 tonne ones would do fine :y
-
Yep, 2 tonnes is ample. If you can get the rachet type i find them even better, but that is your own choice.

Is this a good buy?

i also have a set of rechet ones but i am not comfortable with working under the car with them. i only use them when i want to raise the car but not work under them.
its personal choice really. i just dont like the thought of having a car land on top of me more so when i tend to be out working on th car on my own.

If you can afford it I would go for a bigger jack.
