We’ve all heard the stories, seen photos, and heard about recalls, but how good or bad are cheap jack stands? How do they compare to high-dollar jack stands? Or are all the standard designs just junk? I know that all of you have been using jack stands for years, and if you are my age you’ve probably seen several designs come and go, but I can tell you that jack stands in general are heavier and larger now than when I was a kid. And yet they seem to be more dangerous than ever. Or they are if you believe the hype anyway.
But is it the jack stand or operator error?
Watch this video from Project Farm and see what you think of his testing. I dig it. Need new jack stands? Choose wisely after watching this.
