in theory, yes, but that would be a safety margin deducted.
in practice, they'll take me and my dad stood on one (plasterboarding ceiling, what can you say? ) which must be about 160kg, 170 odd including
the board.
i'd be more worried about a B&D workmate as there is no vertical tubes down to the floor in a straight run, just the latch to hold it.
anyway, nice car, looking good

Dont worry about the workmates. I used to be the production supervisor and Senior Manufacturing Engineer on the Workmate production line at Black
& Decker. They were load tested to around 500Kg (not all of them, just a test sample every shift). We also tested them to destruction to test the
rivets, latches and welds.
Of course they are not warranted to this load but it shows that manufactureres do at times add large safety factors. (Iam referring to the proper
workmates here (536, 750's etc etc not the daft little scissor cheapo one that is made under license elsewhere).
(This thread in no way implies that you should overload any support device beyond the manufacturers stated max safe working loads. No workmates are
stated to be OK to stand on. Also strength is compromised if you accidently saw through the jaws!!!!).

What idiot would do that? Does drilling through them count as well?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

lol..., my mate wanted to test his tig welding skills on the legs of my bench and put a big hole in it. Maybe he might want to test his saw out
someday???

its not just the work mate you need to worry about .. but you may need a few "workmates" to help you lift it off the tressels! especially
when you have to put a set of wheels on it too . just a thought.

if you're straining that much when you lift the car that Gran will need to pull the stools out then you have a problem. Buy some incontinence
pants!!
Big cheers

Quick quick !
The turtle's getting curious. Go before you start lifting as the resulting straining may cause the stool to be a touch premature.
