Now those fine trade quality tools are quietly rusting away while I use cheap electric or battery powered tools when I feel the need to saw, drill, sand or plane. There was a time when I believed that I needed to buy the best British made hand tools for doing a bit of DIY woodwork in my shed. then pay decent money, get a decent product and get on with life - you'll soon forget the extra you paid, when things just work, are easily fixed, or just DON'T try to kill you. but you only have the capital outlay once! Granted, combined, they cost more than my car. but my Toaster, Cooker and vacuum cleaner are all British made by low-standing old companies and have all the parts available for purchase and have been built to be repairable. I wouldn't go as far as buying an English car. It's so rarely worth the cost, even though it's "low".
CAR JACK STANDS REPCO PROFESSIONAL
His 2 were in professional use for about 50 years, then my brofessional use for the last 20 years and I trust them with my life regularly. I do feel safer using my Quickjack though. They have never been a problem, but they're about 10 years old now so probably before the bits fell off the tooling dies.
I have two pairs of old ratcheting ones instead. Weigh a ton, are a pain to level anything on (since they have a fairly fine thread) but are almost impossible to go wrong. I really want a pair of the OG screw style stands my friend has.
