It dont really matter with a mini imo. before the ratchets came out the chain and pin worked fine.

i use both btw, buts thats because they were on offer lol

edit: the only difference is the hieght settings. my chain and pin has 3 settings, where-as the ratchet had about 8 i think

Ratchet types are far easier and quicker to use.

As both are perfectly safe, I'd buy the ratchet type.

ratchet are a bit better imho. allow more of a fine tuning if the car is not on a perfect level for example, and are quicker to put up, take down when trying to fit them into a tight space....

Can the rachet ones be turned around,as I normally use the pin ones putting the pin on the top instead of through the hole,so you can have the flat side of the base triangle level behind a car wheel,instead of the point ( for example )
