Review on πŸ”§ ESCO 10498 Heavy-Duty Jack Stand, 3 Ton Load Capacity, Silver by Elijah Balzarini

Revainrating 4 out of 5

SUPER HEAVY AND STURDY

These stands are really great. I had a problem with my Audi SQ5 a few weeks ago. I had a hard time solving the problem because I couldn't figure out where this clanking noise was coming from. I wanted to put the car on these stands I had (AutoZone 2 ton set and Lowes 3 ton set) and run the car to reproduce the sound. As I lifted the front I literally saw the 2 ton C-pillars start to flex as the car moved a little. I immediately got out of this situation and ordered them immediately. When I got the SQ5 I felt a lot better. They are firmly in place and are now moving everywhere. I really felt like I could trust these boys with my life. The high price fully justified the feeling of security. The packaging was great and the finishes on all 4 I ordered were good too. Her above average height also helped a lot as I have an SUV. The ONLY complaint I have with these coasters is that the included rubber pads (see picture) failed with the welds on the very first use. It's okay because you can use anything as a substitute. That being said, I was a little annoyed that I don't now have two washers (both washers used to crimp the welds are separate, the other two were placed on the flat points of the frame jacks and had no problems). I'll probably buy some of these welding adapters for the future or use hockey pucks. However, I would appreciate a pair of replacement pads. Thank you for reading!
