and yet, i'm still here !

I have a bend one just like those pictured and one even had the hole where the pin went though elongated and the frame bracing broke. So I still have 3 thanks to the 2 I got from my Dad when he passed away that looks like they were never used. Yes as you can see made in the USA and bought in the early 70's

YEARS ago I bought a (one crash helmet.. thats what I call them).. it fell off the seat of my of my motorcycle
and hit the pavement.. it split right in half... the last helmet I bought was a Bell full face type which is
mandatory in the class of racing I run(full face type)
EDIT
when it comes to HF stuff just look at what your buying.. 99% of it is the cheapest stuff out there.. spend
a few bucks more to save your butt

Pguy ...was that helmet AT LEAST dot approved ?

Since most of my tools WERE STOLEN or LOOTED up in the northern Michigan abode .... I am replacing much of my needs with Hobo Fright or eBay China mart stuff. I have never broken any tools yet EXCEPT for drill bits.

A few bucks more for like Snap on ?

A late tool purchase comes to mind ... that specialty cable hose clamp plier ?

China mart .... 9$ - DELIVERED TO MY DOOR !!

SnapOn ... $159.00

Yes it was approved.. still have it and its currant but getting close

These don't seem to be the recall ones. Anyone care to verify? I haven't use them because my jack can't get my cars high enough!

Those don't look like the hardbor freight ones. That was my whole point in my earlier post- what about stands that were sold by companies other then harbor freight. They might have the same defect.

I took mine and raised them and put some weight on the top with my hand and shook the hell out of them and they didn't budge so I'm guessing they're OK.

Those look like a set I have.. forgot where I bought them

I just returned a set, they gave me a Hobo freight gift card for the value.

Maxed out

I checked...Amazon.

Back when I bought mine Amazon wasnt in existence back then, I've had mine for
for over 30 years

Wow, he's not even married to her. What a champ!

This got me thinking about the plastic ramps I have. I only put one end of fairly light cars on them, but it would still leave a mark if one or both failed at a bad time. So I cut chunks of 2x4 that slipped nicely into the pockets on the bottom. Four of them have got to add a substantial amount to the load capacity, and I don't see a downside other than adding a couple of pounds to each ramp.
