You can't be serious.....or are you?

i've used these. You can of course put a regular jack stand right underneath it to give yourself peace of mind.... It only has to hold the car for the time it takes to remove the floor jack and place the regular jack stand beneath the safe jack... On the ones I ordered the welds are good and they are incredibly heavy and solid.

I wouldn't order the alibaba ones, simply because of the supply-chain issues it will take over a month for them to sail here and make it to port. If you are in any kind of hurry I would buy ones that have already been imported. I wasn't gonna pay $200 for a jack stand either so I understand.

The one consistent thing in my limited purchases from AliExpress, is that everything has been too cheap to work, doesn't do what is promised, and is a miserable waste of money. I can't imagine having so little regard for my own life, so as to get under a car held up by something bought from there. They make Harbor Freight look like SnapOn. That said, no I haven't bought those particular stands, so what do I know.


Also, you linked to Alibaba, which is the supplier site and requires you to buy 100 or more. Did you find similar on AliExpress (the consumer site)?

EDIT: Wait, are you just pranking us to get people emotional? Did I just fall for it?

Nevermind saw your review above!

NO seriously not pranking! I have a Quickjack. I really like the concept of the Rennstand just crazy expensive so I googled around nd thats what I found so I asked the question. I have never shopped AliBaba so did not make assumptions!

Sorry I was so initially judgemental, I was having a bad day.
Seriously though, Alibaba/AliExpress are definitely the wild west, and buyer beware. Chinese manufacturers take products that they are making for Name Brands (who implement build standards and do quality checks of the Chinese manufacturing, so that they are good products), and then the manufacturer either: (all of which are stealing the intellectual property of the Name Brand).
1) Make more of the exact product than what was ordered, and sell it as their own.
2) Take the product that didn't meet the Name Brand's quality checks, and sell it as their own.
3) Redesign the product using cheaper materials, parts and processes, and sell it as their own.

If you're lucky, you're buying #1. I've ordered something from AliExpress 3 times, and gotten something which was definitely a cheap copy with design flaws every time.
For a safety item, I wouldn't risk it, but maybe if you're just using them to get the car up, and then putting a jackstand under it, it could turn out okay...

When I am not using my quick jack, I'll use jack point instead.

Just to be clear. I agree with what other members have said. I would not go under my car with solely these jack stands holding it up. I use them to lift the car only when I remove the wheels. Once the stand is in place, I put another stand under it. And once the wheel is off I put the wheel under the car for added protection, leaving the jack itself somewhere under the frame as well.

If the wheels aren't coming off then I will just use ramps.

I have had these for a couple years. Great. Solid and really robust. Produced under license from the original Mfr.,but sell for $50 cheaper. I like the solid, rather than tubular legs.

How about this?

Or as has been mentioned, a set of jackpoint stands?

I have a 4 post lift so between scissor jacks, a few bottle jacks and jack stands, usually don't have much of a need for any of this.
