I'll occasionally use these guys:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTF7SM9G...d_asin_title_3 They can kind of swivel. I've got some ESCO's as well but if I lift one end of the car, then place on stands, then go to the other end of the car, the ESCO's of course don't swivel so it seems like it can place a lot of weight on just one small portion of the plastic if I were to use 2 pairs of them.

So my process is to lift the rear under the diff in the correct spot, place my old stands with these adapters in the plastic guys at the rear locations under the side of the car. Then repeat at the front of the car and place the ESCO's under the front lifting points. (flat plastic pieces placed on flat topped stands). Then I get get under the car for stuff after I've double checked things (and also have the jack under one of the lifting points plus possibly a wheel underneath as well "just in case").

It's that sort of pivoting thing I'm not a huge fan of. Not sure if I gave a clear picture of the (minor) concern.
