Hi,
I'm ready to buy a pair of stands and a jack, and I was wondering what I should look into (material, weight limit, safety stuff, etct.) when buying them.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day, and saw a jack and 2 stands for $50CDN ($35US). The weight limit on them were 4000lbs I think. I figured these things cost more, and was quite surprised when I saw them for $50. So, any advice for a first timer?

Also, should I look into something else for added security in case the jacks fail somehow? (yes, I'm paranoid, I know).

BTW, While I was at Wal-Mart, I found out they sell BOSCH OEM O2 sensors for $55CDN ($38US). I didn't get a part-number, but I'll find out. Does this sound right?

Bye!
