Traditionalist

So i am.Anyway i need to purchase some new axle stands,I have always used the traditional stands with the pins to secure them.
So i was wondering if anyone has used this type before.And your views on this type please.Good or bad.Give a reason.

I have some of both styles but they are the ones I reach for most often, though mine are the clark ones from machine mart. They are so quick to set to height and drop back down it just helps speed jobs up.

The ones you're looking at buying are what I use on a regular basis for cars and my T2. They're a lot safer than the old pin ones you describe which have a smaller footprint and are consequently less stable if the ground isn't perfectly flat.

Any way i have opted for these.Ok maybe overkill.But i want to be sure the vehicle over me,aint going to kill Me.

I have a set of the ones you are looking at that I bought in Spain, and as Kishada said, they have a bigger footprint, plus they are quicker and easier to use - I have used them several times (in conjunction with a trolley jack plus my spare wheel under the car - I NEVER rely on just one method of lifting a T2!)
