      It's not just about the weight test though. It's no use having the strongest one if it doesn't reach the thing you're supporting. The most expensive one was obviously for a higher reach use.

    One of the most common failure modes is that the concrete floor below the axle stand fails. The strongest one had a nice big flat plate under its base so probably safer for that reason as well.

  • @damionlee7658
    @damionlee7658 14 днів тому +32

    This video really needed better information, an explanation of what the results really meant, and somebody to stop Mike misusing the word "Rated"
    09:14 - Talking about the failure of the £10 stand: "That means it's actually rated to withstand a weight of 10 tonnes" - NO Mike, it absolutely is not rated to withstand 10 tonnes; it failed at that weight. The stand is "Rated" to support 3 tonnes in a pair. It wouldn't matter if it withstood the full 85 tonnes capacity of that press in your test, it still would be "Rated" to support 3 tonnes, spread across a pair of stands.
    Which leads us to lack of information about a jack stand needing to be used in pairs, not individually. That £10 stand absolutely is not rated to support 3 tonnes; it is rated to support 3 tonnes spread across 2 stands.
    The safety margins on all jack stands are deliberately huge, because everybody knows that people ignore the rated safety limits of... Well, everything.
    Given that when you support one end of a vehicle on stands, you are sharing the load with the ground, or a second set of stands, that £10 set is rated to comfortably support a Cybertruck (a tiny bit over 3 tonnes total, or the equivalent of just over 1.5 tonnes per jack stand pair). But based on your test, it could support more than 10 Cybertrucks piled on top of each other, before failing.
    Everybody looks at those tiny stands, and can't imagine them being strong enough to hold a car. You had an opportunity to inform people and reduce that fear. Unfortunately, you failed to give any constructive information.
    Somebody else commented that this video was like Drivetribe basically making a "Donut" video, and that you're better than that. I wholehearted agree with them. If we want nonsense and terrible product reviews where more often than not the problem is the presenter not understanding how to use the product, we can go to Donut. Drivetribe needs to stay somewhere we can find accurate information. Have fun, by all means, but don't ruin this channel by racing to the bottom for clicks over quality (exactly like Donut has done).

We've all had to use them in a pinch at one time or another, so it's nice to know that as long as used correctly they're reasonably safe. Lets face it, your average joe bloggs ain't spending 220 on axel stands.

Also the little leg links at the bottom are only held on with small rivets, so again, they fatigue really easily.

    the stands are durable. 2 tons or 5 tons. But there are problems if your car's main bearing structure loses a rigid bracket shelf. The metal is simply rusted. Then it is dangerous to bet on stutem. The supporting structure of your car will invite you. Old cars have it. It should be placed on the shelves of the supporting bridge.

      I have used one set of stands, of that design, for over 40 years of home mechanics.
      They’ve comfortably held Land Rovers, Jeeps, Big Jags, etc and I trust them still.
      Always cleaned and always oiled to protect.
      Granted, they were about £30 in the mid 80’s but for home use, you don’t need anything bigger.
      You also need to consider the actual weight exerted on the stand if, say, one wheel is lifted as, of course, it won’t be the full weight of the car.
      It would be iro 20-30% depending on the car’s weight, lift angle, etc.

    The 200£ one is impressive but is very short, probably making it much less practical than the 300£ if you need some space under the vehicle you're lifting.

    So why would you buy anything other than the £10 one? It held 9 tonne before failure, 3 times the SWL. It's not like you're going to be putting anywhere near than weight on one.

    I have the smallest ones, but I have surrounded the feet with a triangle of angle iron to stop them sinking in.

    Would've been cool to see how catastrophic a standard scissor jack that comes with most cars would do. (I've seen them bend by doing things I shouldn't because it's all I had availible)

    why do you guys over react so much? The guy operating the pump doesn't flinch... which is the proper way to react for most of these... 🙄🙄

    Boys, Boys!
    I’m all for H&S being overkill, sometimes, but common sense should never be ignored.
    I deal with 5,000psi compressed air and have gotta say, due to the unpredictability of the failures, where you’re standing is extremely dangerous.
    Mike, you should know better.

    I'm less intersted in the comparison of which is strongest, but how close they get to their rating. If the $20 jack stand is rated for 3 tons, and can survive 3 tons then it's perfectly safe and fine to use. I also feel that you dicked around a bit and didn't really answer the question: "How Dangerous Is a £10 Axle Stand? - Durability Test" The video is fine, but you could've done better than a few blokes having a laugh with a hydraulic press.

    The JCB style one, the failure was due to the sheet metal not being welded. That style without the sheet metal welded together or with some kind of reinforcement to keep it from splitting got banned here in the US

    Missed a hell of a chance for an epic road trip and team up with the hydro press channel.
    My stands are like the 4th one. I built mine because i couldn't find any that would fit my 1987 s10 blazer on 44s. Only difference is there are hairpin clips on the pin to keep it from coming out the shaft by accident when not under load.

    You forgot to put the pin in the last one. Could have held on for much longer.

    Typically, the rated load for jack stands is per pair, not each. 6 ton stand=3 tons each.

    I dout the problem for most are what they are rated for, more likely improper mounting
