The pair that makes going under the car defensible · review
A pair of 2 t stands with a rack adjustment, a locking handle and a safety pin — the belt-and-braces locking arrangement, from a brand people recognize.
The last word Two locking mechanisms on the tool that holds the car up. That is worth the brand premium.
A pair of 2 t axle stands with rack-and-pawl adjustment, an integrated locking handle and a safety pin.
The pawl sets the height quickly. The pin is what stops the stand collapsing if the pawl were ever to disengage. On the one tool whose entire job is to not fail, redundancy is the specification.
The height range. It is the figure to check against your car and your jack, and it is missing here — worth asking the seller before ordering.
A jack lifts a car and stands hold it. Everything above is about how well these stands do the second half.
On sale at around $170 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

A pin is a positive stop; a pawl relies on engagement with a tooth. Having both, as here, means the pawl does the adjusting and the pin does the holding, which is the arrangement most workshops prefer.
For a family car, comfortably — each stand takes a fraction of the total weight. For a van or a large SUV, move up.
