Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall

[WOLFN8TR]

I find all jack stands hard to trust. Quickjack ftw.

I agree...👍 Best purchase for my garage by far!

ruh roh. Post-recall jackstands fail first use:

I think the key is redundancy. Like if one jack fails there are other supporting points to prevent an accident.
If I want it completely in the air, I use all 6 jack points.
If I want the front to be up, then I use all three front jack points.
Or if I dont need to remove the wheels, then I use the $50 advanced auto car ramp and the two front jack points with the scissor jacks as back up support

You get the idea, I would simply never trust a single jack/support

Also it helps to actually place the jacks on even surfaces. You'd be surprised how people misuse simple tools with catastrophic results

Purchased a QJ5000 about a month ago from Costco sale. Still has shipped yet though as they are "experiencing significant backorders" according to QJ. Can't wait though.

Quick Jacks are the way to go. They had them on sale for $1000 shipped a while back, what a deal.
