Recommendation for QUALITY jack stands.

[Cadcom]

Like it says, anyone have a real world recommendation for jack stands that you trust your life to? I'm willing to spend the money for the good stuff (Prefer a "Made in USA" stamp on them somewhere). My boys are starting to get into hot rodding and general repair and jack stands are going to be used heavily over the next few months on one truck.

never tried these

Looks liked they have good review. If you can find it I really like the ones with the locking pin. Big RED makes them (china), not for sure if any American brand has that, but I would suggest trying to find that if you can.

Come on man. You know Harbor Freight is just as good as anything from Summit Racing or Jegs.

Let me see if my life insurance covers suicide!

I actually found some old Craftsman stands that I trust and do the job. Torn

I’ve got two pair (1 pair are Craftsman) I bought 25 years ago that are rock solid. Hard to find quality now days.

Only stands I have used for the last 35 years. Mine are well over 20 years old

Few years back I was in the garage, under my 1942 Ford Fordor, had it up on jackstands extended as far up as they would go, trying to unbolt the transmission. Looked at the way the car was sitting, where it would land if it came off the stands and how long before someone found my body since it was 2am and everyone in the house was asleep. I managed to get out from under the car, got it off the stands, next day took it to a garage and said "take this piece of crap and make a show car out of it" and 5 years later it was done and I dropped my jackstands off at the dump next time I made a run.
