I take safety seriously, and when it came to finding the perfect jack stand, I had a checklist of criteria that I couldn't compromise on. First and foremost, I needed a jack stand with a double locking mechanism. This was non-negotiable for me because I had heard about the unfortunate incidents involving Harbor Freight jack stand failures. Safety had to be the top priority, and a double locking mechanism provided that extra layer of security and peace of mind.Another crucial factor on my list was the quality of welds on the base of the jack stand. Inadequate welding can lead to structural weaknesses and compromise safety. I didn't want to take any chances, so I looked for jack stands with high-quality welds. This ensured that the stand would be sturdy and dependable, capable of withstanding the weight of my lifted large SUVs and trucks without any concerns.Speaking of lifting large vehicles, the third criterion was the height of the jack stands. Given the size of my vehicles, I needed jack stands that could provide ample clearance. These jack stands fit the bill perfectly by offering the necessary height to work comfortably and safely under my vehicles.I couldn't be happier with my choice of jack stands. They met all my safety requirements with a double locking mechanism, excellent weld quality, and the right height for my needs. These jack stands have given me the confidence to work on my vehicles without any worries, and that's priceless when it comes to ensuring the safety of both myself and my prized vehicles.

The heavy-duty 6-ton jack stand is a must-have for anyone working on larger vehicles or equipment. Built with solid steel construction and wide, stable bases, these stands offer exceptional strength and reliability. The locking mechanism is secure and easy to adjust, giving you peace of mind when you're underneath a lifted load.What stands out most is the confidence these jack stands inspire. Whether you're servicing a truck, SUV, or trailer, they hold weight effortlessly without any wobble or flex. If you value safety and durability in your garage tools, this 6-ton jack stand delivers exactly what you need—dependable support every time.

I purchased two sets of these 6-ton jack stands to replace Harbor Freight Jack stands that were recalled due to actual failures of the ratchet system. The ratchet/pawl system is essentially the same in almost all similarly designed jack stands, and therefore this potential flaw exists in essentially all of these stands that do not incorporate some kind of secondary safety feature. Most jack stands are not exactly precision manufactured devices. The saddle/head castings being the most questionable components due to primitive sand-cast production methods.These jack stands use cast saddles/heads as well, but I noticed right away the ratchet teeth showed a smoother casting process, and/or the castings are finished with much greater care to ensure the ratchet teeth are consistent and more precise than other jack stands. More importantly, the added pin/lock ensures any sudden weight and/or load shift will not cause a potentially adhered jack stand saddle (the saddle sticking to undercoating on the support point for example) to lift the head high enough to cause a poorly cast ratchet tooth to slip past the pawl and collapse. Another common flaw is the cheap painting process almost always results in the pawl and handle sticking in an unlocked position. Again, these stands demonstrate a higher quality and standard in the coating process, appearing to be powder coated instead of the saddle/ratchet and pawl portions being dipped in what typically would be some kind of enamel or heavy oil pasted paint product - which inevitably leads to excess paint and sticking of the ratchet system.The body of this jack stand is constructed essentially the same as other similar jack stands designs as well, which is rarely an issue related to safety. The welds are more than sufficient and are of good quality.To address some of the downgrades and whining by some of the individuals here: yes, the factory boxes leave a lot to be desired, but damage due to how they were boxed and shipped by Amazon should be critiqued in that area, not here. Most factory boxes are not intended to be primary shipping boxes and won’t hold up, unless the shipping box protects the items. As for the complaints regarding scratches due to this... this isn’t intended for display on your mantle, and if you actually use these for their intended purpose, they should get lots of scratches. Perhaps they will produce a set of polished and chromed ones, shipped in beautiful display cases for those with aesthetic issues, to quell the sniveling. Who knows. But given the number of finish complaints, you would think there is a market for that kind of thing. Me - I use them to support my car when I need to get under it. It’s really not a neat or clean endeavor either. As for the individual who complained the company name was “misleading”... you have no business getting under a car if you don’t know what a jack stand is - and that a sub $60 set clearly won’t provide any “lift”, they just support the weight of the vehicle, like all “jack stands” do.Anyway - back to the product...The added safety features incorporated into these stands would be well worth a price premium... but there really isn’t one. These are competitively priced with less safe offerings on Amazon and elsewhere - so it’s really a no-brained buying these. I bought two sets of both the 3 and the 6 ton versions of this stand.

They seem to be the real deal.........nice and heavy duty..........bet your life on them of course.
