Autoxbert 3-ton jack stands (pair) – adjustable 10.8–16.3in
These AUTOXBERT jack stands take the hassle out of working under cars and vans — safer and far less faff. Whether you’re changing the oil, sorting an exhaust or tackling suspension work, these axle stands give steady, confidence-inspiring support. They feel solid under load and don’t have that nervous wobble you get with cheaper gear.
Key features
- Each stand is rated at 3 tonne (3,000 kg) so the pair will support up to 6 tonne — plenty for most cars and many light vans.
- Quick ratchet height adjustment with 10 locking stops for easy, precise positioning between 10.8 and 16.3 inches (300–430 mm).
- Double locking pins provide extra security so the stands won’t slip while you’re working.
- Removable rubber pads on the head protect jacking points and reduce metal-on-metal contact.
- Wide, stable base and robust steel/cast-iron construction for long service life.

Safety and practical use
Use these stands only on a solid, level surface. They’re for support once the vehicle is lifted — don’t rely on them to raise the car. Use a proper hydraulic jack (a trolley jack is a good shout) to lift the vehicle, then place the stands under the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points. Always chock the wheels at the opposite end, check the height locks are engaged, and don’t crawl underneath until everything feels rock-solid.
If the ground’s soft or uneven, pop a steel plate or similar solid base under the feet to stop them sinking. The ratchet mechanism is simple to use: lift, slot, lock. The double pins are a nice bit of reassurance — especially handy if there’s a bit of movement or a cold, blustery day when patience is in short supply. No faffing about with complicated setups.
Who this is for and typical jobs
- Home mechanics working on cars and small vans — oil changes, brake jobs, exhaust repairs.
- Garage users needing reliable support for underbody inspections.
- Anyone wanting a compact, tough pair of stands to keep in a garage or van for roadside emergencies.
Overall, these stands give sensible value: solid build, clear safety features and useful extras like rubber pads and gloves included. They’re not a replacement for heavy-duty workshop kit in a commercial setting, but for most domestic and light commercial jobs they’re more than up to the task. If you’re unsure they’ll suit a particular vehicle, double-check the vehicle’s weight and jacking points first.
