This looks like the best price on a pair of "better" style stands. Esso is great, but $65 each stand is a bit much. There's another of this style from Torin, "Big Red," but it's a littlemore money, looks the same: There's Sunex as well, but they're as pricey as Esso.

The ECS Schwaben brand (looks like Sunex made) for under $100:

I have the old orange 3 ton ones purchased 10 years ago (~2010). Guess they're not included in this recall? But man, this makes me lose so much confidence in those jack stands... might need to buy a new one or finally get the quickjack2002 Jet Black · 6MT · Cinnamon · CSL Tribute

Thanks for posting these. I have since upgraded to a set of Esco ones, but use the HF ones to hold stuff (steering rack, subframe, etc.) while the Esco ones support the car. Looks like mine are the 61196 model. Debating whether I should take them back, I don't really use them for load bearing purposes anymore.
For anyone debating on buying the Esco ones, got for it! $250 is 100% worth it, I feel super confident going under the car now.'06 BMW M3 6MT Coupe - TiAg/Imola

^I've had those thoughts on Harbor Freight. I've got the 3 ton HD part number 62392 that doesn't seem to be affected but not feeling great about them. Of course I always put rims underneath the car as well when I'm working under my jacks. Even when working under my quick jack i still put rims or jacks underneath.Last edited by oceansize; 05-19-2020, 05:46 PM.3.91 | CMP Subframe & RTAB Bushings | SMG (Relocated & Rebuilt) | ESS Gen 3 Supercharger | Redish | Beisan | GC Coilovers & ARCAs | Imola Interior | RE Rasp | RE Diablo | Storm Motorwerks Paddles | Will ZCPM3 Shift Knob | Apex ARC-8 19x9, 19x9.5 | Sony XAV-AX5000 | BAVSOUND | CSL & 255 SMG Upgrades | Tiag | Vert w/Hardtop
