Only time i'd use the blue ones was if the car was on grass, and as thats never going to happen, definatly the red ones :). I have a couple of sets, they are tidy-as :)
yeah same here
got the red ones, they are alot stronger as a mate has the blue ones and they actually slipped on concrete and lucky we had the rear wheels chocked or hed be in the bellhousing of a datto 1600 :D
go the reds for sure (just not in the footy)
GO THE BLUES
(get you qld's next year) :beer
You mean you're going to bribe the ref more than you did this year?? :P
I have jack stands like the red ones, but I think they are the old ones that probably got a safety recall on them.. I always chock up the car with more than just stands anyway (trolley jack/spare wheels etc) as a just-in-case precaution.
I got a set of blue ones... never had a problem with them.. as long as they are placed correctly and you dont do anything stupid while under the car you should be right... i usually leave the jack under the car as well if possible as a saftey measure

Some time back (when I was getting one of my beasties ship-shape for licensing), I wanted the red ones, but bought the blue ones because of the price difference. I had the car sitting on four of 'em for a few weeks continuously, which included doing stuff inside the car, under it and everywhere else without any problem.
Bottom line I suppose, is what you're prepared to pay for. I wasn't prepared to pay for the red type - so I bought the blue buggers and bought other essentials with the saving.

red are a much stronger design, much sideload on those blue ones and I would be getting worried.
I've been using the pyramid style for quite a few years, cant go wrong, just dont buy some crappy ones. Its only your life you are risking with cheap stands while working under the car :)
