Sunex 6809A, Underhoist Support Stand, ¾ Ton Capacity, 12 Inch Diameter Base, Contoured Saddle, Bearing Mounted Spin Handle, Self-Locking ACME Threaded Screw, Supports Vehicle Components

This is a very good under-hoist stand, for a fair price. I wish I could rate it 4.5, but that isn't an option. I have a heavy duty two post lift, and even though my lift is rated at 3.5 times the weight of the car that I work on the most, I'd never spend any length of time under it without an underhoist stand. It's just not worth the risk, especially when the right safety tools (like this stand) are available at affordable prices.Pros:Sturdy for what it isAssembly is very quick and easyThe foot lever is a nice addition that makes taking the slack out of something while you're adjusting/unbolting it super easy.Neutral/cons:The base is okay for the purposes it serves, but I would have liked it to have been heavier.It was missing the pivot pin that the foot lever connects to the main shaft with, due to being lost out of very poor packaging. There is a reason product packaging is a field of study, and clearly this company did not invest in a person who ever studied such things...Overall, this is a very good value in under hoist stands. I bought one of these, and a tripod style underhoist stand, and personally feel the tripod style is better. That being said, there is nothing really wrong with this one, and you can get more supports for the same amount of money if you're going to buy several stands. It's all just personal preference, and you know what mine is. I do feel it is worth the extra $10 to get the lever at the bottom if you're considering the single post stands, as it makes exhaust and crossmember work much easier.This is the stand that I use on the rear (lighter) end of what I'm working under, and indirectly trust my life with it...

This pole jack is a great addition to the shop if you own a lift. I work off a 2 post lift with some pretty long wheel bases and this gives me the added support and stability I need when having to remove large items. I use it every time I raise a car just for an additional safety as well. Very pleased. Would buy it again.

I bought this to stabilize and provide back for a truck/car lifted with my MaxJax 2 post life. Works perfect for the application and is easy to raise and lower to the exact height I need. Just bought two more.

This underhoist support stand is very sturdy. The lift nut rides on a ball bearing, thrust bearing. The only thing that I would like to see done differently would be to have a slot machined into the lift screw, with a "key" to keep the screw from spinning when you turn the lift nut. You have to hold the lifting screw with one hand while turning the nut with the other hand.

I have a stand that I got from Northern Tool and this one is noticeably better. This adjusts a lot easier and stays sturdy at a slightly taller height. And it's almost half the price. I already bought another one and will definitely get more when I need them.

Seems to be pretty good quality. I like the bearings between the top collar and the handle cuz it makes lifting stuff up under pressure, very smooth and easy. I ordered two and one came with a pin missing on the bottom, but I had a bolt I put in it’s place so no big deal. The one that was missing the pin was in a beat up box so that probably explains that.

Great product

I didn't want to be so impressed with this, due in large fact that the price was astonishingly low compared to the 'professional' models that our Mac and Snap-on dealers have. I took a bite and when it arrived, I was immediately impressed with the build quality (again, price considered). The welds and structure are nice and the action of the threaded rod and bearing is very smooth and just the right pitch. We've used it for numerous jobs so far and it is pleasing to use. I can't say we maxed it out by a long shot but it seems very capable of doing so. The foot pedal is a nice feature that we have yet to find a use for. I suspect there may be a time where you can't remove your hands from a part and a quick step will lift the part just enough. Luckily you can remove/ re-install the pedal in a few seconds if it gets in your way. The reason for only 4 stars is the terrible packaging from the supplier. We've bought two of these now and both times the box was torn to hell and parts falling out. The first one was missing some cotter pins and a small bolt. We managed with what supplies we have here but with almost no securing packaging in the box, the whole thing obviously bangs around a lot. Overall, a very good value though!
