Safety under the car
I stumbled upon this tonight on bmw5 and thought it only right to share, i as im sure many here have been under there car many a time with the ratchet belting away its part of the passion just be extra carefull under your car as it can all end in an instant
90% of the time i will have a spare wheel under the sill the jack still in position but under no load, an axle stand in place the wheels chocked and the car in gear but sometimes risks are taken and you need space so something has to be moved in future if i need to take a risk like this its best to just give the car to a proper mechanic with a lift as its really not worth the risk

This thread highlights the fact that just because that jack stand is in place does not mean you are good to go i have pin stands i will be never touch a ratchet stand an personally i will now be investing in a much higher quality pair of pin stands
