Nice job! Thanks! I returned my HF stands a few days ago (6 ton stands), they were not on the recall list, but I can't take the risk. I'm now researching the Torin Big Reds and the Pro Lift T Double-Pin 6 Tons. Glad HF refunded their stands. Originally they only sent me the recall list, my 6 tons were not on it. The owner then sent one thanking people for all purchases, I asked him. He responded saying if I don't feel good with the jack stands, simply return them. I'm glad he was sensible about safety. I do buy a lot of stuff there. Good job on the video! Thanks again
How are they 4 years later? Im looking to get a set and landed on these (except that the ones im looking at have supports on 2 sides of the legs) are they any good still or should i look else where?
Do you have a height comparison? They look identical, but I want the height as low as possible so I don't have to raise the car as high to get stands under them. Thanks!
If you have Harbor Freight Jack Stands just put a Piece of Metal on the Center bottom of the Jack for More Protection and to Secure the Top metal from Falling 👍
I don't think I would trust either of these, personally. All of these ratchet designed jack stands could have issues in the long run. The teeth on the bar could eventually get damaged over time until its no longer able to catch properly. If that happens, even the "fail-safe" pin would not be enough, because that relies on the teeth being able to catch onto the pin. I would go with regular pin system with no ratchet. With those, the parts which are bearing the load are much stronger.
Not true. Some tools at Harbor Freight are just as good if not better than the competition. HF pliers that I use get beat up almost daily at work and have never let me down. Their Pittsburgh floor Jack's are known to last 25 plus years and work flawlessly so long as they are properly maintained. Jack stands from HF are a big no, no and I wouldn't recommend power tools such as drills. In that department I'm a Milwaukee guy and those tools definitely take a beating and hold up great
There's plenty of really good harbor freight tools now..mainly their hand tools, and their Daytona floor jack Theyve seemed to really up their quality the past couple of years

You're welcome!

Thanks,getting. Them now.
I hope you enjoy them!

They still work as they should.

I don't. You likely can find what you're looking for by looking at the manufacturers' websites.
Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome!
Just had Big Red 2T tip over sideways, these are too narrow in one direction. NOT SAFE in my experience.
How did you have them placed? How did they tip?

harbor freight tools are temporary tools
Whatever works for you.
It should be noted that not all Harbor Freight tools come with a lifetime warranty.
Sure, but that's not the only brand that Harbor Freight sells.
