DriveUpTools C1 pair, 3 t review

A pair of 3 t stands with both heights published — 280 mm (11 in) minimum, 420 mm (16.5 in) maximum — and nothing else claimed.

The last word Two numbers, published clearly, in a pair. That covers most of what a stand has to say.

What lands on the bench

A pair of adjustable axle stands rated at 3 t, adjusting between 280 and 420 mm (16.5 in).

What the heights are for

The minimum decides whether the stand fits under a raised car; the maximum decides how much room you have underneath. A 140 mm (5.51 in) range is normal and enough for most jobs on most cars.

What the listing does not say

How it locks. Ratchet, pin or both is the mechanical heart of a stand, and it belongs in a specification. Where it is absent, look at the photographs.

The habit that matters more than the stand

Lower the car onto both stands, then push it firmly at the wing. Anything that is going to move does it then.

The questions that reach us

Why do stands start at 280 mm (11 in)?

Because the support points on most cars are around that height once a wheel is off the ground. A lower stand exists for lower cars, and it is the figure to check against your own car rather than against another stand.

Should stands go under the axle or the sill?

Wherever the vehicle manufacturer publishes as a support point. On many cars that is a reinforced sill area, on others a subframe or an axle. It is a per-car answer, published in the handbook.
