For the jack stands you can't use the jack pad adapter with conventional jack stands - it is not safe. You will need flat top jack stands like this:

Then take the rubber tops off these esco jack stands and there is a little recessed "cup" where the jack pad adapters can sit and not risk sliding off. |
Thanks, that's what I was thinking. I've never seen these type of flat top jack stands in AU via mainstream auto shops...
After searching, I am surprised to see a local tool shop that sells ESCO jack stands! Wow.
10498 pair - 10 adjustable positions

10499 pair (shorty) - 7 adjustable positions

The 2 cars I work (plan to work) on both are very low (< 13cm ground clearance), would you recommend getting the regular 10498 or the shorty? They are 3x the price of regular jack stands I've seen in the shops but it's something I am willing to invest in in the long run since I am gradually taking over the regular oil services of these 2 cars.
