I've seen that one it looks good.a lot of places are selling sealey at twice that price.when they all look the same you wonder are you just paying for the name

They’ll all come out the same factory in China just with a different lick of paint ?

Maybe I should buy a container load then put a fancy decal on claiming it's a premium product then sell them on at double the price.seems everyone else is.

Also got SGS one here, perfectly good, looks same as the Sealey version at local MOT station.
Don't leave it under ramp and let ramp down, or the legs will stretch a little.

After Phil s recommendation I ordered one from sgs. I kept looking at them thinking are they cheap flimsy rubbish so it’s good to have a recommendation from people who own them

I've had SGS stuff & whilst it's not necessarily the best kit out there it's hard to beat them on value for money when it's not stuff you're using every day.
