A pair of our prototypes disassembles into a package of approximately 5"x12"x12". Again that's a pair of prototypes stacked one on top of the other, and I believe we won't be too far off those measurements in the production version

Lol! We're trying to keep it under $200/pair, so you should still have enough left over to get that 918 if you negotiate it down a bit

We're pushing the maximum height up a bit further in the production version, at least about an inch or two from the 15" maximum of the prototype in the video. We may also be offering additional components that you can fit into that standard pair that would allow for a greater maximum if needed. We're still testing that part though.

Thanks for your interest!

Sub'd. Let us know when they're ready. Looks like you have a lot of interest (myself included).

200 seems reasonable for a good quality set of four. For two though, not sure...

Subscribed. Interested in the final product and pricing.

Agreed. 4 for $200 is on the high side for many, but reasonable for good quality. I would buy a set for my home garage at that price. For 2, it's a bit much for your typical home garage tinkerer.

I like the idea they use the jackpoints, very clever. I also like the idea they store in less space than a typical set of stands. I would gladly pay double the cost of standard jackstands, so 4/$200 sounds right on the mark. At 2/$200 I'm afraid I would have to pass.

I agree. 4 for $200 is the sweet spot. I'll buy for that price.

This product is a "one-lift" stand, so you do not have to jack up the front of your PCar to get the jackstand under the rear. So, I see this jack stand concept as an alternative to the Jackpoint Stands, which are $300 per PAIR! If you don't need to jack up all four ends, you can make do with just a pair of these stands and a floorjack.

I have a pair of Jackpoint stands and they are great. But they are wide when you are working around the jackstand but under the car. And you have to be careful when lowering the Jackpoint plate onto the jackpoint stand itself because the Jackpoint Stands are a two piece system.

This stand is also two piece but it appears you do not have to lower one piece onto the other. The stand attaches to the plate with out having to lower the plate onto the stand. This product also looks like it is more flexible than even the JackPoint stands when it comes to floorjacks and if they can design some height flexibility into the entire system, it seems like a great concept improvement.

I also have some Esco 3-ton 10498 stands, which are the greatest stands on the market for a two lift system. About $100 a pair, but again you will need a floorjack to lift the front end "real high" to get the floorjack under the rear, or vice-versa.
I think the new one-lift systems are safer not only for the grease monkey under the car, but probably easier on the car itself.
(Disclaimer: I have no business relationship with the proposed jackstand or the owner of the proposed jackstand.)

I look around my garage/shop/hanger and I see lots of 'expensive' support equipment. You wanna see expensive jack/stands, try buying some aviation ones. With those I am jacking up something worth what a 918 is, so not much compromise made on quality there. If we want our products to be 'local and of good old days quality', we most likley will have to pay a premium. I understand and accept that, but I also understand each of us has various circumstance that dictate what we do. If baby needs a new pair of shoes and daddy needs (wants?) new jack stands something may have to give. No babys in this house, so daddy will get his 4 new automotive jack stands.

I also have a couple of motorcycle lifts, one made in China, that is mostly a piece of crap. When I use it I have to add in additional jack stand supports just to be safe, then they get in the way. Then a US made one that cost me about 3 times as much. That one I would sleep under, once the internal safety bars are locked in place. Funny they both have labels rating them each at 1000# capacity the US one I believe, the Chinese one I think might be out a factor of 3, the same factor as the cost difference?

THe Chinese one is probably made from recycled pot metal......or tin foil.
