Had a very good safety mechanism of U shaped pin, so it located in two of the holes in the sliding portion of the stands. Good area of flat metal on each foot also to spread the loading.
Can't obviously moment on lomg term, but for £145 or so for the set, it was good value. Trolley jack is about 3 times as wide as wide as I was expecting, and about 10 times heavier, perhaps SGS is the new Volvo of tools.
Not linked in any way to SGS, delivery not quite so good, delivered the jack, and left stands on the van, I think perhaps with the jack weight he'd had enough.
Cheers
Steve
