Michelin 2T ratchet locking jack stands – pair
These Michelin jack stands are a proper, no-nonsense pair of supports for anyone who gets their hands dirty at home or in the workshop. They’re rated to 2 tonne (2000 kg) and offer an adjustable height from 280 to 408 mm, so they’ll cover most everyday jobs — tyre changes, brake work, suspension checks or any time you need a reliable prop while a wheel’s off.
What they are and why they help
Think of these as the safety backup to your hydraulic jack. The jack lifts the car, the stands take and hold the weight while you get on with the job. The ratchet locking mechanism and quick lever mean no faffing about with pins or rethreading — set the height and the ratchet locks it in. There’s also a safety pin for extra peace of mind.
Key features and practical details
- Capacity and lift: rated to 2000 kg (2 tonne) with an adjustable range of 280–408 mm — ideal for most small cars and light vans.
- Secure contact: shaped saddle to suit most jacking points, plus a rubber pad to reduce slipping and protect paintwork.
- Stable base: wide stance for better stability on flat, solid ground so the stand stays put while you work.
- Easy to use: ratchet action with a quick lever and a safety pin — quick to set up and reassuringly secure.
- Built to last: painted steel finish helps resist corrosion and keeps the stands looking tidy in a busy garage.
Common uses and scenarios
Perfect for DIY mechanics, motoring enthusiasts and tradespeople who need a dependable pair of stands. Typical jobs include changing tyres, brake and exhaust work, suspension servicing and general underbody inspections. They’re compact enough to keep in the boot for roadside wheel changes — just remember to only use them on level ground and take your time.
Quick safety notes
Always use on a flat, level surface and chock the wheels before lifting. Only use these stands as supports after the vehicle has been raised with a suitable jack — never rely on a hydraulic jack on its own. Check the vehicle’s weight and stay within the 2 tonne limit. If you’re unsure about a particular jacking point, have a quick look in the vehicle handbook or get some advice.
If you’ve got a very low sports car or a very tall 4×4, check the clearance and stand height first — the 280–408 mm range suits most everyday cars, but there are always exceptions.
