I have wanted a set of 4 flattop jackstands for a while, but could not justify the cost, so here is my own version of the flattop jackstand. I bought 4 stands at Canadian Tire and modified them as the pictures show, total cost to me for all 4, about $ 85.

Looks great!

Details? Looks like you welded the flattops yourself...or was it something you found premade?

I made the flattop from a piece of stainless pipe, welded it to some stainless plate , then I machined it to the shape you see in the pictures. The stud is threaded in with loctite. I also machined the rack to a good tight fit inside the pipe Steen

Someone's been holding out on us re his turning & welding talents.
THAT is one gorgeous weld bead.

Want to sell a set?

Thanks for all the kind words, wish I could build a set for all of you, but I am afraid this is just a one of. That said, it should be fairly easy to dublicate the flattop piece. I also got 4 hockey pucks that I drilled a 1/2" hole through, that way they can be fitted in case I do not want the center stud sticking out.

For those of us with no welding talent here's another solution. I just pulled out the ugly cast iron part and replaced it with a standard rubber jack pad. It means the height isn't adjustable but adequate for most wheel/suspension work.

I want a set, Group buy?

I just bought two sets of these as they have a "flatter" surface than traditional "V" style ratchet jack stands and base will not damage your garage floor (if epoxy coated or like...)

Steen, so at which point do you jack if the stands are going under the jackpoints?
