In case you have not yet heard Harbor Freight is recalling certain jack stands. If you own jack stands from Harbor Freight I would stop using them until you know if they are part of the recall.

Look out they have now recalled the replacement 3 ton jacks. I guess I will go back to using solid wood blocks.

Thank God I don't own any!

Don't know if it's true but years ago people would joke about the cheap jack stands having a warning label saying they were not to be used to support a car. Dad was using wood blocks back then and I eventually got a pair of made in USA Snap On stands and later a larger pair of Chinesium made from Home Depot. The Huckster Fraud better shape up, faulty jack stands are no laughing matter.

No safety glasses! Now that's just asking for trouble.

Would they be better off using the defective stands from the Huckster Fraud?

They might...I don't think they would understand the concept though.😁
