Right guys just looking for a little advice on engine stands. I've been looking on eBay at quite a few, don't want a super flash heavy duty one, just one big enough for a 2.0 to stand on really. Just wondering how the "liftmaster" brand compares to the likes of sealey and Clarke? Also I'm guessing a 450kg model would be more then enough for what I need.

As always any advice would be welcomed!

450kg is loads, XE without a box is only about 100kg I think?

Oh ok so that's plenty sturdy enough for what I need !!

What about the brand though? What's best for quality?
