That looks great. The website is myliftstand.com.

Problem is no price info without sending a comment to the inventor's site. Which I did just now. No email access, no other comments have been posted in the past three years. So who knows if he's in business. I'll post if I find out the price.

I don't know if I would trust that one of those pins wouldn't shear off. They're pretty small.


Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't like cars falling on me.

I love this idea. I think the pins are rather small myself. I think a simple fix is either a larger pin or once they lock themselves in, you add a long pin that would go all the way through two risers. It looks to me that the small pins in there now only go through one side of the pipe risers. Putting maybe a 1/2 inch pin through 2 risers would mean going through both sides of ever riser. In my safety conscious mind I would feel much better... Great idea though.

The only other thing is once again you are jacking individual corners. If the jack stops rolling under the vehicle and you don't catch the snag, you could pull the car off other stands..
