Just browsing SuperCheapAutos website and came across this:
![]() Makes you wonder with some of the cheap products they put on the shelves what sort of quality control they go through before being sold to the public. |

I am the most paranoid car fixer at home. I put the BIG floor jack under it, and another cheap floor jack and some stands. I will never be squashed!!!

what do you expect from super cheap?
would you expect things to be of shit quality and break if they came from Clints as well? its all in the name and the PRICE. you get what you pay for. |

However, if a product has an advertised load limit of x kg's you would expect it to conform, especially if the particular product has been on the market for 4 years now. |

I suspose it come's down to you get what you pay for, but in the interest of safety, I would never buy something like this from a cheap store anyway, it pay's to buy something that you can trust if you value your safety.

well if its taken this long for sca to recall it, then it must be recent findings, and to save their own *** they're going to recall all sold back for a couple of years...
return it and exhange for car ramps or something... and stop baggin sca, they sell some good stuff, some cheap shit... sell good oil, filters, spark plugs, hoses, spare parts n shit really depends how stinjy you want to be

give me a break, your telling us that "SuperExpensive" wouldnt ever have a recall because the stuff costs more?
im sure quite a few people on here have had to take their very expensive cars back to the dealers once or twice, for even serious issues like brakes and steering racks.... but just because theyre called "SuperCheap" they get bagged when they make a product recall... *i have no affiliation with SuperCheap Auto (just call me Steven Ellery ;) ) |

I'm kinda wondering what prompted the recall ??????
These things have been selling at SUPERCHEAP for years. Maybe it was LB instead of KG that this unit was made for.

Nothing beats a big lump of timber thats twice the height of you body, no car is going to break through that should the stands fall. The tyres might hurt a bit though.
