Not everyone that has or needs ramps has or needs a floor jack. These style ramps are great for doing quick oil changes, coolant changes, starter/alternator changes, differential fluid changes, or serpentine/accessory belt changes on vehicles without much ground clearance. Plus quality ramps are actually safer than jack stands since there's no chance of them tipping over or sinking into the pavement/dirt.

3" lift height is way too low to be of much use though. I have a bunch of low/sporty cars that i use plastic low-profile ramps on for routine maintenance, and they usually provide more like 6-8" of height. The peak height of a ramp isn't the main thing that makes low profile ramps work.... it's the length and angle of the slope which allows the front lip and other low parts of the vehicle to clear the ramp without hitting anything.

Can you trust a car ramp called black widow?

Who decided this was a good name for this product (named after a spider that kills it's mate).

"Honey, look what I got you for a present! Can you change my oil?" 🕷️

Use jack stands (edit: with your ramps), everyone!

I currently drive up on wood blocks to get the car high enough to get a low profile jack underneath. These would work better.
Quote from CrimsonFeather358 :
I agree. To get underneath a car only supported by these plastic ramps, ultimately, you're trusting them with your life. There are too many things that can go wrong, and I'll always set up jack stands to properly bear the load before I get beneath a vehicle. These plastic ramps can & do fail (not at an alarming rate, but a few pictures of shattered ramps were more than I needed to see.) I personally only own/use ramps of this type to facilitate fitting my jack under my car without scraping.
User error causes a lot failures of plastic ramps. But jack stands are not immune from this either.

Not really meant to work under. More for lower profile cars to get them up in clear a floor jack at a proper jack point.

These 3-in ramps are probably good for ultra low cars where you can't fit the jack underneath until you get it a few inches off the ground to slide the jack underneath to pump it up.

Depends on clearance. Think these are 3" high

A set of ramps that only raises items by 3 inches is impractical and therefore priced accordingly. A 3-inch lift is not beneficial. For those considering these as a gift: DO NOT buy them. Most metal ramps offer a lift of 8 inches or more, making them suitable for working.

If using outdoors, filament material type is important. PETG is somewhat UV resistant but has a bit of a give to it. ASA is better at resisting UV, and is stiffer, but the cost may exceed just buying a ramp on sale

Factors (temps of hotend/bed/chamber, too much part-cooling, wet filament from-factory or local humidity) that affect layer adhesion, brittle-ness, and all things compromising compressive strength (even shearing when tires claw up the ramp, depending on the layer orientation) - need to all work to trust that the home-brew ramp won't suddenly disintegrate.

Please backup with steel stands (definitely don't use a 3D-printed one), even if just an arm under the car.

Edit: And I hope that you were j/k, lol

Edit2 (for the curious few): I Forgot to expand on the dangers of hygroscopic plastics in terms of structural safety- both UV exposure _and moisture in 3D filaments lead to embrittlement - the reduction in compressive strength - and the threshold of collapse- is unknown even after testing, due to many dynamic variations during (subsequent) printings.

Those working on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) run dehydrators for several hours- even days- to ensure the filament is dry. While baking the final printed item will anneal to restore/increase strength, the baking temp needs to be precisely below the glass temperature (or else melts) for effective annealing.

The code works on the 8.5" tall ramps as well making them $54, but you might as well just get the 8.5" tall Rhinoramps from Amazon that are $48 after the coupon right now
Just FYI, I had the rhino ramps version and one ramp cracked. I returned it to Walmart. I think it was because they slide when driving up
