Wanted to share my thoughts on the Jackpoint Jackstands. I first saw these a few years ago and while I thought they were neat, didn't have need enough to justify the cost. That was until I bought the Alfa which basically requires this type of setup.
Living about an hour north of the distribution center, I drove down and met John (the founder) to pick up my set. John is a very nice gentleman and we had a nice conversation of how the company got started and the impressive collection of vehicles he had on site. He's a true car guy. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the facility but it completely escaped my mind. The array of Corvette's, Porsche's and Ferrari's had me slightly distracted.
Today I used the stands for the first time. Definitely a time saver and well worth the money. Truly as simple as lifting the car, aligning the stand and dropping the vehicle. 1, 2, 3 - that easy. Is the price a bit steep? Yes. But, this is a rather niche product and definitely manufactured to last.
