Parts-catalog listings, with the figures included

What they actually do

Car accessories sold as vehicle parts: jacks, stands, ramps. The listings come from a parts catalog rather than a marketing department.

What that means in practice

Data. The ramp entry publishes an approach angle of 17°, a tire width limit and a load per pair — three figures no other ramp listing on this site gives. The bottle jack publishes its base plate width.

The trade-off

No description. A parts entry tells you the numbers and nothing about the experience of using the tool, which is why the reviews here fill that gap.

The fitment check

Several cartrend listings offer a compatibility check against your vehicle data. On a jack, that is really a question about clearance — and it is a reasonable one to ask before ordering.
