Just so all know - I had a lift in my garage when I invented these stands and still have one. I use both but the stands get far more use.
Why
Finally a really solid stand. Looks beyond my budget as do not use frequently to justify the cost.
When I saw this video two years ago I knew I need to have this jack stands..it took me two years later to get them due to the pandemic and Tesla buy over 30k plus jacks 😂😂😂. I am please with quality and how simple is to use and John is a cool guy and made the proses very easy and keep in touch when the jack were available. Worth the money.
awesome to hear I use these often and love them, perfect pair up to my AC Hydraulic jacks too
I already have the stands, so I want to say thanks for showing me the Weld Frame adapter and rubber inserts for the weld point for the stands. I never knew they existed. My S550 Mustang will feel much better in the air now
I NEED these!!!!! Exactly what my BMW deserves. I use escos for it and they’re phenomenal but this is a whole lot better for lifting it on each side.
Visit their website these have been out of stock the last few years due to all the shortages and disruptions in manufacturing
Thanks for that one, that is a perfect solution for Alfa Romeo lifting, and stackable is just a bonus. 👍🇺🇸
I still prefer the Rennstands (Safe Jack) since you have more variety to height and they are smaller profile for certain jobs. They are also made in AMERICA, more affordable, rated for 6000 lbs (3 tons) and have similar pucks for different brands. I have used them on a 987 Cayman, Tesla Model 3, C7 Corvette and my S2000.
I had those Rennstands years back these are far more stable and you can stack the pads to get the height.
@@autofanaticcars Have you tried the revised ones they have now? I had an older pair and agree they weren't as stable. I'm comfortable with mine at max height when I have 4 or even just 2 and ramps. I still prefer them.
I can see these being better for frame off restorations but I didn't enjoy using them when I used my neighbors set for awhile.
I tried them years back on my Cadillac CTSV a heavy 4400lb car and it was sketchy when we rocked the car doing the headers so I gave them to my friend for his C6 Vette. Not sure what version these were back then. the concept itself is awesome and glad to see these are made in the USA and not knocked off from both vendors. So far from using the JackPoint Stands they seem more forgiving on using them in my driveway which has irregular sections and seem easier to place. I love them so far.
@@autofanaticcars Sure, at $85 price for every spare puck you buy for stacking.....great idea.
Those a really cool. They're priced out of my range but it's a very clever design.
What a brilliant idea and yes probably safest stand on the market
just used them to do the oil change on my Alfa Romeo Stelvio, work like magic
They were until he ran out of them and money to make more. He should go on shark tank I bet all the investors would give him the money.
Wow was pretty interested in these, doesn’t seem like they’re available. I decided to go with quick jacks, and I got some ball bearings that attach to the frame for easy maneuvering(as soon as it lifts an inch the ball bearing also rise and the quick jacks do not move). With this modification and the wall hangers it’s pretty quick break down and setup for me. However this would’ve been a great option for the times when i need to lift just the front or just the rear.
would love to see how you use your quickjacks shoot me any email with photos link in the video description. These Jack Point stands are awesome but it depends on the car your lifting. I am so happy I was able to get 4 of them with 10 mounting pads before the world went to crap and these became unavailable. If I had wall space for a quickjack I would have gotten one a long time ago I just have no space to store it as my garage is jam packed with equipment and tool boxes.
@@autofanaticcars I will definitely shoot you an an email showing you how I use them!
Thanks for the vid I have been trying to get these for a couple years always out of stock, my room to work under my carport is very limited and these make it so safe ,and last year I had a bad mistake ,I had a Merc E63s and there is a jack point under the engine its a small plastic block ,I used this location a few times but I didn't notice the jack was halfway on the pad and the jack plate cut the block in half , when the car falls it falls real fast ,so the jack went though the lower plastic cover ,my fan shroud cracked and my radiator had fin damage ,I replaced everything 2500 bucks later ouch ,but then again I could have been under the car when it fell so I got away easy, Ive been working on cars for many years and $hit happens ,so I feel the price is worth the safety
buy these stands if you can contact them and try to get a set because as you know they do out of stock for a very long time due to demand.
Auto Fanatic I contacted them so they can recommend the correct stands and blocks for my M6 , I will buy ASAP , Thanks for the reply !
Excellent product! I love mine
same here been using them each day now and love it, I plan to get a pair of Nascar made in USA floor jacks soon to pair with these.
Thanks for the video, why does the owner of these get Tesla to sell them worldwide in there service centres, I’m in the UK and we can only use trolley jacks for diy jobs but would love to purchase one for private use.
It’s not a big deal etc, you spend thousands on a car but cannot get the right stuff when needed.
That’s the jam dude! 💪🏻💪🏻
Interesting product and video. Thanks.
Safe jack Renn stands offer a similar solution but they are much more adjustable and take up less space👍 although they are $125 per corner.
Nice product. Thank you for the review / introduction video to what looks like a great product.
thanks for watching
What Jack do you use? I've been looking on amazon to no avail
For another $900 you can purchase a two post. Way over priced! No thanks!
2 post do not fit in a majority of home garages this is a great safe solution without taking up any space. and a real 2 post lift that is worth buying is over $5k to buy we have those at the shop.
Even a quickjack at Costco is $1200. Not sure what kind of deathtrap you get for $900.
@@T1Oracle To be fair he said for *another* $900 (these are $640+ so that would be $1500 to buy a "death trap" 2 post from China). I agree that the quickjack is the more likely comparison.
Phil do you think these would be useful for winter storage as long as the suspension was supported so it wouldn’t sag during storage?
yes perfect solution for sure
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
I was all about these until I went to their site and saw their prices. Wow! sorry but its a great concept but 400 for a pair of jack stands? Are these made of unobtanium?
NO but they do keep you from damaging you or your car with convenience which is why I want a set. Not making them anymore though.
@@gulfbreezeproper So does Rennstand.
Nice video, any chance of knowing where you got the jack stand pinch weld adapters? The black rubber ones on the red jack stand...thanks in advance....
they came with those jacks years ago
Auto Fanatic ...thanks. I actually just found some on amazon...guess I should have looked first. 😂
so if I have neither a jack, nor stands, what is the advantage pf going this route over just going with a Quickjack setup? I can get into that setup at various times throughout the year for about the same price as these jackstands and the cost of a quality low profile jack. Truly looking for some feedback from people that have tried both.
i had a quickjack and the set up and moving it around was a PITA I can get any car on these stands with two of my AC Jacks in 10 minutes or less and they store away easier for my needs and garage space. the QuickJacks are cool if you have space to store them and or keep them set up to use often but messing the oil lines, pump and two heavy sections takes too long sometimes to do smaller duty tasks i feel. both are safe ways to do it just depends what method you prefer to use.
@@autofanaticcars that's the kind of honest feedback I've grown to expect from you. We chatted years ago about the griot's garage PFM drying towel. I took the advice, bought 2 and I've never been happier with a drying towel.
Oooo now thats handy
greetings where to buy the towers to lift the car
What kind of jack do you use? And do you know the documented minimum height on yours?
my jack saddle is about 3 inches from the ground, its an older Pittsburg Low profile Jack my other jacks are too wide to use these stands.
Awesome video!
Only problem i can see with these(besides the price, but that’s already been addressed by others in the comments) is that those pucks defeat the purpose of owning a low profile jack. I already have to drive up on a couple 2x4s to get a jack under the front of my e46 sitting on coils, that puck just adds another inch or two i need to drive up
you can use the flat low profile pads as i showed in the video last week. for lowered cars regardless we need to work around some things like this but once you come up with a system that works these are excellent to use to work on your car
Hey AF, I have a question, do you have any recommendations for good quality H.O.A.T radiator coolant for my car? You introduced me to Amzoil and my cars been driving smooth because of it, so I was just curious.
What car do you have. HOAT coolant is not a catch all term.
If you don’t have room or the ceiling height for a car lift. QuickJack is the best option.
i do not have one square inch of free space to store a QuickJack too much fabrication equipment in my space and i needed something easier, if i need a lift il just drive to the shop and use any of the 5 lifts we have, these stands are just for stuff to do at home.
👍 *INTERESTING VIDEO* 👍
Do you feel they would work for a Mercedes Benz S550 as the car is very heavy, more so than most cars.
yes these are def safe for the S class since they have such a wide footprint they disperse the load far greater than any other stand on the market by design of the contact points at the base and pad. I would have total confidence using these stands on any car.
I’ve been trying to get these jackstands in the uk can’t find them anywhere
try to contact the guy in the USA who makes them, things are crazy now with manufacturing shortages but he should be able to get you a set to the UK
Seems like a lot of stress on the vehicle chassis if the front comes up while you're jacking at the rear jack point. Ideal, which isn't possible on many vehicles is to jack the front/rear axle from a center located jacking point then place jack stands in appropriate place.
The Giulia does not have a central jacking point as he said in the video
I am rly surprised u didn't go for the Quickjacks. they sell wall hangers to save room and pinch weld pads. at a premium price of course. ur a smart man u could prolly fab something up. Yeah the setup it a bitch but they go as high as a jack stand on max height and are much safer at said height.
I have no room for a quickjack my garage is filled with fabrication equipment and the time it takes to use these stands is less than half of setting up the quickjack PLUS I want to support and promote small businesses as much as possible now.
Once you get QuickJacks set up initially, it’s just a matter rehooking the hoses, moving them under the car then pressing a button.
These things really need to come down in price. Still seems like the best solution for a Tesla though. The only other option is Rennstand which is a bit cheaper but still pricey.
they are made in IL in small batches which is why they are priced where they are,. I am involved in industrial and automotive manufacturing and know what things cost domestically and it is very hard to brong costs down in small volumes. if these were priced lower like 50% i think a huge vendor would pick them up and sell boat loads.
Are they out of business? I went on their site and it seems like everything is out of stock.
not sure they might be the situation with the manufacturing and supply issues have crippled most small brands so might be best to call them on the phone
Looks very well built, but very expensive. $421.50 plus for a pair. Not for the average diy consumer.
How wide( diameter) the jacking aluminum pads
the pads themselves are about 6-7 inches in diameter
You should review Griot's Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax or compare it to Chemical Guy's HydroSlick! Both very competitive products.
its coming in about 1-2 weeks i have been testing the Griots Ceramic since December on multiple cars and real world scenarios not on test panels, stay tuned for my video and subscribe for the alert.
Nice
At 2:47, you said "there is no solution on the market except JackPoint Jackstands", yet in the comments you said you used to have Rennstands in the past, which do the exact same thing (support from the same lift point), and Rennstand appears to still have an active web site selling their stands. You also said the owner told you they have loaded these up to 10,000 lbs before any sign of distortion, but on the mfr web site FAQ, it is stated they physically tested them up to loads of 15,000 lbs without damage. Either way, plenty strong. But for me, Rennstand is a better value. Particularly due to ease of adjusting for different heights. Sure, you could stock in spare pucks for stacking this a few inches higher, but at $85 per extra additonal puck, not realistic. I think this style is good if this height will work for you for oil changes or brakes or whatever, but if you want more height available, I think Rennstand is better for that.
Another point about cars that are built with only 4 safe lift points.....just a chicken-sh_t way to force people to go to their dealer for service, rather than just be honest and recognize many of their buyers will want to jack up their car and place it on stands. Not everyone can put a lift in their home garage. How hard would it be to build a car with something solid to lift from (even just one in front and one in rear), to get it up and place your stands under the designated support spots. Just another of many examples of dishonesty in business (car manufacturers in this case).
the true reason I bought these at full retail and showed them in this video was the USA manufacturing and to me that was worth it, are they the perfect solution for every floor jack or car no but i do use them regularly still and do like having these. As of now these are no longer available due to the crisis going on with labor shortages and supplies so I am lucky to have gotten this set just before the world went to hell for everyone. I do not think the Rennstands are made in America but many brands lie about that these days to know for sure what and where things are coming from.
What's up with the crooked index pin at the end? Does it still work 100% even with that? I own a Ti Q4 with I believe the same coupler.
in the demo in the video i tested the flat jacking pads with a thin piece of plastic on the back of the car. i drilled a hole and placed the pin it was just for testing but realized the flat pads are not meant for this car and you need the ones with the taller center section like i used on the front.
The model for Porsche sell out in minutes when they restock!
Can you measure the width of the plate for me please ,I can't find the dimensions anywhere on there site ,I have a carbon side skirt on my car and it might be real close,Thanks
there about 8 inches in diameter i think
Auto Fanatic oh man wow , I have to see if these will work , thanks
Auto Fanatic Thank you !!!
I don’t think this companies in business anymore. When you try to contact them via their website the website throws
an error and if you send an email to their info address it bounces with no such address
Still in business and they reply to emails
i need to pick up one up for my BMW
I absolutely love these stands and just used them once again today.
I don't like the fact that you have to jack at each point... two times or four times to get those in. A lot of people's garages don't have space to jack up on both sides.
With other jack stands, you can just jack the front end and/or rear end to get two or four jack stands in. And you're done.
As for the price, sure you can write it off when it comes to your business. But not a lot of people can't just throw $700 away for jack stands. I don't like the fact those are cast aluminum either.
on European cars and some American Sports cars you have only 4 jack points so its limited to how you can get cars up on stands and these suit that mostly for Corvettes, Porsches, Ferrari which have 4 small locations.On My Alfa Romeo I can use one jack point and lift the entire side and get two stands on that side in seconds its so easy. I love these and use them often but they truly suit what cars you own and how much space you have. My garage is not huge but i use these always in my driveway with 2 jacks and by myself I can get any of my cars up on all 4 stands in under 10 minutes which is much easier than setting up a Quickjack.
What a shame, what an oversight, it won' jive with an airbag jack.
👌
I think the owner of jackpoint stands ran out of money and is dreaming of launching them again, he's been doing this for two years but never can seem to find the capital. It was a good idea, he should try licensing the design before he loses the patent.
yeah such a shame i am glad i got my set of 4 and multiple adaptors when I did this video
@@autofanaticcars Yeah he put me on a wait list 2 years ago. I think its a tactic to show investors how much interest he has in them by showing them a large waitlist. Its a common tactic. If I had the money to invest I would. Hell I don't want to take a chance using any other jack stand and just keep taking my car to the dealer when I have a repair which I can clearly do myself if only someone made stands that won't kill me.
clever product, but it’s never in stock.
manufacturing has been seeing a huge bottleneck all over the globe with shortages of materials and limited workforce not being able to meet demands. this is most likely the cause we are seeing this with everything for our companies.
Is it not cheaper to make a Car inspection pit in concrete ? Than buy these stuff, safer easier and fits all vehicles!
something like that won't fly in most peoples homes of properties
@@autofanaticcars check that out, ruclips.net/video/QG90NFbr9Qs/видео.html its extremely safe compared to jack stands you can work in a normal standing position.concrete work is easy with another friend helping.i have an Alfa romeo 159 2.4 jtdm 2008 model and i need to clean the DPF in the exhaust in the middle of the car underneath.
Call me old school.Don't trust aluminum between me and a car smashing me.
these are far safer than the cheap china stamped steel units any day of the week these are super thick aluminum if you picked one up any concerns you had would be gone instantly.
@@autofanaticcars Thanks for the reply. I understand completely on that reguard I agree it's foolish to trust china stamped steel as well, despite that fact there is couple other options(not hein werner) with great/good ground coverage U.S. based forged and finished steel.
Products made in China aren’t a problem; it’s the QA process designated by the client that is.
It's more than that. Chinese mfr's have been caught cutting corners from the specs they agreed to build things to, just to up their profit margins. Stop drinking the chi-comm Kool-aid. And if you don't believe MOST products made in China are poor quality (yes, some are good), then your real name most likely has a Xing or a Ming in it.
Hard to have much respect for buying American when they're out of stock for every single thing on their website
it is the supply chain crisis that is killing all manufacturing domestic and abroad it is not easy running any business these days and the JackPoint is a small company which is why, he refuses to outsource to CHINA so gotta respect companies that support local manufacturing.
Too bad he doesn't sell these stands anymore, they were a good idea.
really? i bet the current manufacturing shortages and crisis has made this product unobtainable to manufacture and still keep the prices the same. this is going on even for our company thanks to the hyperinflation affecting everyone and everything.
@@autofanaticcars His foundry prices did increase but he's been out of stock for over a year. He just says he'll add your email to a list and they are shipping as they come in. But manufacturing doesn't work that way, I think he's faced with a very large cost in the millions and he's trying to build a so called interested customer email list to get investors involved. I've had two email addresses added to his list for over a year. He's not making them.
Time consuming, bulky and the price is an insult. Sorry but no
The height is crap. It looks lower than a generic one at the lowest setting.
height is perfect and I use these all the time on my Alfa, Porsche, Ferrari and other sports cars. Once you use them you will like it but i hear they are no longer being made or sold I got one of the last sets before the world went chaotic and shut down.
@@autofanaticcars I think if the goal is to just get all the wheels off the ground. This doesn’t look high enough for under car work.
Rennstand is cheaper and look safer.
cheaper is not always better i love my Jackpoint stands but have many other stands as well and use specific ones for each car and job I work on.
nice but not supporting europe.
reach out to them im sure they can easily ship to Europe
We ship to Europe. Contact us for details and shipping quotes.
jump to 8mm
For what it’s worth, I think these things are about 75% overpriced. There has to be a better way
I agree, far too expensive. A 3 or 4ft piece of soft lumber on the jack running lengthways can be used to lift the car from the centre of the pinch weld. Because it is soft and distributes the weight over a large area, it wont damage anything and frees up the space under the reinforced jacking points to place stands. Been doing it for years with no problems and costs next to nothing. Its just like the bed of nails trick at the circus - weight distributed over a large surface area leaves the performer unharmed.
Murica!! F-CHINA . Nuke em.
