Vehicle care accessory AWTools AW20017 — weight 5.8 kg

AWTools AW20017 is a vehicle care accessory designed to stabilize and support vehicles during maintenance and repair. Made from durable carbon steel with welded construction and a powder-coated finish, this support provides a robust platform for workshop and home garage tasks. The unit features a ratchet-type lever lock for secure height adjustment, a notched saddle to hold the vehicle without harming contact areas, and wide support feet with four legs to improve weight distribution and stability. With a listed weight of 5.8 kg, it complements other AWTools automotive accessories for routine cleaning, repair and service operations.

Advantages

The carbon steel construction and welded joints offer durability and resistance to deformation under load, while the powder-coated finish protects against corrosion. The ratchet-style lever lock enables precise and secure height setting during use. A notched saddle secures the vehicle at contact points and reduces the risk of slipping, and the broad support feet combined with a four-leg layout increase lateral stability and load distribution. The design is compact enough for workshop storage yet rugged for repeated professional or home use.

Suitable for

• Vehicle repair and maintenance when a vehicle is raised off its wheels
• Mechanical workshops and professional service bays
• Home and private garages for occasional vehicle servicing
• Tasks requiring stable support for chassis, axles or body sections

How to use

Position the support on a flat, stable surface and place it under the manufacturer-recommended support point of the vehicle. Use the ratchet-style lever to raise the saddle until it contacts the vehicle securely in the notched area. Ensure the load is evenly distributed on the wide support feet and that all four legs are stable. Do not exceed the intended use conditions; lower the vehicle slowly by releasing the ratchet mechanism in a controlled manner when work is complete. Regularly inspect the support for wear, corrosion or damage before each use.

Usage recommendations

Use this support in combination with proper axle stands or secondary supports as required by vehicle maintenance procedures, follow vehicle manufacturer guidelines for lifting points, and always work on a level surface with wheel chocks installed on remaining wheels to prevent movement.
