I didn't see this posted anywhere and after all the fuss about how dangerously my Dakota was lifted, I'm kinda disappointed it hasn't. One of many links >> Jack Stand Recall Linky Be safe everyone.

I had one of the ears snap off on one of those HF stands, luckily the truck (2500 Cummins) was held up by the other ear. I immediately removed both of them and they went in the scrap pile. The upper part was made of cheap cast iron.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

I wonder if the same chinese stsnds sold by other stores have the same recall. You'd think so but haven't seen anything about it. Good point. The only difference is the sticker slapped on it.

There is a You Tube vid showing and explaining the problem a little more detailed than just saying its Chinese trash.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Because I am afraid of crawling underneath my 3500 lb Plymouth supported by ratcheting jack stands, I paid a premium to get these. Made in USA. Nice! Where did you get those if you don't mind my asking.

Hm. The basic design looks almost identical to my mid-1990's Craftsman-branded ratcheting jackstands. Never had an issue with them--hopefully the materials are better in my brand-name older stuff... I have always had bad dreams about accidentally kicking one of those release levers while under the car, so I always put a tire/wheel under the car.... I'm going to then need wider wheels, I guess.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Kind of rings of the old 'buy a $40 helmet for a $40 head' theory.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Kind of rings of the old 'buy a $40 helmet for a $40 head' theory. Not really. Making a good jack stand doesn't cost anywhere near $350. The pile of 4x4's someone posted will do the job more than adequately and costs nowhere near $350 to make. Can't do that with a welding helmet.
