Bahco BH3HD8000 jack stands - good Esco alternative

[gsanvi]

Bought those jack stands from Bahco a while ago and I find them really good. I paid around 60€ per piece. 8 ton rated each - not for the pair like jack stands usually are. They don’t have a flat top, rather a saddle shape but I don’t mind. On the picture I extended them to their max height - about 62cm. The car wobbles a bit at that height - I wouldn’t t be fully comfortable going underneath the car. At lower levels I worked undearnath cars comfortably, with the car being super solid.

I also don’t like Bahco’s color scheme so I had the shafts powder coated to black. Anyway can totally recommend, I think they are hard to beat at that price point.

Nice! We modified a similar set with sill pins for our old rally car.
Using that same type of jack during Service was also perfection

The jack is really good. I bought it based on the recs from the forum. It’s really expensive, but worth it IMO

I use the same AC Hydraulic jack! They used to make jack stands, but haven't for a while.

Is there flat rubber pads on top like the ESCO stands?
