The warranty may be better but deep down if you do some up close and personal inspections you will see its true colors. Dont be fooled into thinkng that the blue Napa jacks are any better than the Harbor freight etc. Buy it from a retailer that has a good warranty exchange etc. If your intentions are to buy a Overseas jack. I'd rather pick one closer to jackpoint's large surface area plates, but it doesn't have to be exclusive.Ive posted this many times on here, There are only a few Manufacturers of these jacks and they sell to 100's of different retailers and they are priced all over the place. I'm looking for build and design quality.ĭoesn't look like I have much of a choice with jack stand seats, either-entry level jacks have curved seats with lipped edges.

a Switzerland jack stand isn't automatically superior to a Liechtenstein jack stand).

Country of manufacture is not a deciding factor for me (e.g. My two top picks are Wilmar and Pittsburgh (probably Wilmar as the top contender). (there's one other point close to the bumper behind the wheel well that isn't highlighted-it's double metal, appears to be subframe, and doesn't have a bolt I'd rather use that area than the subframe closer to the lateral center to reduce roll).ĭoesn't look like I have much of a choice with picking vertical rail subframe pieces it's not the same as the 3rd gen Accents, unfortunately. I've got a thread on hyundai-forums asking about specific points. I'm still researching the jack points for the LC Accent right now it appears that the jack stand points are all flat (not really a good thing a vertical double metal piece has a one dimensional linear axis to move along if it's going to slip with flat box frame pieces, potential slips could go any direction along the flat two-dimensional axis). Most jack stands don't take that shape they're cupped with raised curved edges on the outside. They do set the standard for the shape of the seats- wide flat discs with a half-inch notch in the middle, wide lower plate the plates are made to be raised by a pneumatic jack and then supported by the stands. If I had a $15,000 car, they would be worth it. I would go with jackpoint, but they're outside of my budget. I don't want to go lower than a 2722 kg (3T) jack stand the idea is to not push the jack stand anywhere near where the welds or locking pin will fail. My '03 Accent weighs 1023 kg (less than 2T).

I'd rather avoid something that is going to fail and break stuff-defeats the purpose of the equipment.
