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. |

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. |

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!!!

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.

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. |

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

I shop at Super Cheap, but I never buy Super Cheap branded stuff (with the exception of one spanner, which I've used....once). I just go there for oils, spark plugs, brake pads and shit like that. Although I seem to be able to get it cheaper through Burson's and Repco now days.
