Default ESCO jackstand 2014

no affiliation yadayadayadada
just wanted to pass on the info to all of you guys.
Unique Truck Equipment Inc is offering the same discount they had when a group of rennlister did a group buy before . They are offering a deal for the ESCO 3-ton round flat top jack stand ( that are perfect for our 993) at $60ea and free flat rate shipping ( so a set of 4 is $240 )
use the code "ren14" when checking out.

To echo above, these stands are fantastic. Car is rock solid on them and i can comfortably work on the car under them. Well worth the money and am very happy with the purchase.

Probably in stages. I had to put 2x6 ramps under my car then jacked it up to the lowest esco height and put the stands under. Once it's on all 4 stands, could be easy to just lift it up again and adjust the stands as you go. I don't think my floor jack goes that high though.

Esco sells stands that include both the flat top and the axle type posts. The axle type ends are good in case you have a truck or other vehicle that is more suited to that type of end

From the ASE Website:

ESCO Mdoel 10498K 3 Ton Jack Stand with Flat Top Rubber Cushion & Axle Style Post .
This is the ultimate jack stand on earth. It is a combination of our most popular jack stands by ESCO - The flat top stand with the rubber saddle cushion, along with the curved saddle for axles. The best of both worlds!

I don't think so, I tried last year to get these from the rennlist deal.

I had contacted another supplyer here and by the time they imported them to canada thru "Myers Tire Supply" they were 395$ plus tax made them 446.
I ended up not getting any and going with the puck top option. sgreen@myersinternational.com
This was a royal pain of research and calling everyone around taking months to sort out.

most guys buy to the border shipping depot and go get them.

Unfortunately shipping small quantities to Canada is pretty expensive. Depending on location, our costs run $55 - $70/pair. On the "positive" side - that's express shipping and it's cheaper than ground. It's actually cheaper than express shipping to places like Northern California ($55 for ground).

There is a seller on fleebay that sells them in pairs for $119 + $17 shipping. Might check to see if they will ship to Canada.

ASE price matches mile-x.com and gives you $10 off of their price. That is what they did for me
