Ratchet axle stands - One to watch

[busheytrader]

I recently bought some ratchet type axle stands since they've become cheaper.

On one of them, the welding across the two halves of the casing was pretty bad. This bead of weld missed the butt joint almost completely, no doubt compromising its strength so watch out if you're buying some.

Thanks for the warning. I just bought some from SGS Engineering (UK made). Just checked them and all looks good.
