good reasonable price set of axle stands from where?
Can anybody recommend me some axle stands?? I've just got a pair of Clarke Strong Arms, these are ok quality but the saddle is to deep & doesn't sit anywere, also where are the best points to put them? Cheers Mark

Are the Halfords 2t pin type anygood? The Clarke are the first rachet stands i've had & gotta say i'm not keen, think i'll stick with the pin type

Cheers for the info mate that's not a bad price, I could do with a temporary jack as my Clarke aluminium jack has blown the seals already i've not had it 5 minutes, can anybody recommend any other stands & where you prefer to locate them?

Cheers, I will have a browse on eBay, the Clarke ones I have were from Machine mart but I don't find these very good they don't sit right anywere with the saddle being so deep so was wondering if there was a particular manufacterer/model you guys prefer to use? Cheers

Looks like Halfords 3ts it is then, I shall put them under the car
i've never really had to use my axle stands as I've got a few spare paving slabs knocking about which come in handy for oil changes etc, but looking underneeth there doesn't seem to be many options for putting the stands without bending or putting a hole in anything or throwing out the geo that's why I ask?
