Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled

Fortunately I’d bought the aluminum ones... thankfully they’re not recalled.

I have one recalled set, one not recalled. I've ordered new ones , not HF, and depending on
what they are giving ( supposed "retail" value) I may just keep them for painting purposes.
I don't go under a car when doing that and they do have a nice height.

Steve,

If you keep them, please make sure they don't wind up in someone else's unsuspecting hands years from now ...

Don't worry Mike, I replace these things every 5 years or so, just because!

Cheers!

Update, told my Wife my plans for the recalled stands and got a definitive NO.
Guess they're going back!

Here’s the problem HF is experiencing. Bad one on the top, good one on the bottom. I think you can see the problem.

I am going to get a set of these Esco jack stands. They also make a version of them with a flat rubber cushioned top. I like the locking pins to hold them in place. They are highly rated.Esco jack stand.JPG

The ESCO's are really nice, a bit pricey though. I bought a set that are a bit more conventional
but also have the locking pin. I think those are important!
