Build quality and speed etc seems fine but it doesn't lift the car high enough for my jack-stands. I'm not sure on the details of my jackstands but they're pretty 'standard' ones.
Where it is quite small it needs a ton of movement to raise the car and even at it's highest I still can't squeeze my jackstands underneath.
I'd avoid personally and go for a 'good one', slightly larger one that'd raise the car higher.
It had no problem getting under my mx5 though so the 'low entry' aspect is good!

This is a great deal, going to keep an eye on this one

Then again, the jackstands here state they're lower than the maximum lift range of the jack, might be worth a try. Just my 2 cents

I have this exact set from sgs engineering. I've had them now for around 4 years and I'm still alive! Excellent product at a very good price, well built and will last a long time!

Seems that lifting range is less than the axle stand max height -
Jack lifting range = 89mm to 359mm
4 Ton ratchet axles stands lifting range = 278mm to 420mm
So you wont ever get to the full height for the stands with this jack [unless you use a block of wood or similar to extend the lifting range]. Still a hot price though.

Which looks mostly identical.
