I have zero issue crawling under my f250 while it is being supported with these jack stands. They are the strongest feeling jack stands I've owned or seen in person and I'm a technician who has seen an used alot of different jacks and jack stands in my life. These double locking and very high lifting heavy duty stands are the safety I was looking for. They will likely not work for cars or anything lowered without some creativity and a 3ton floor jack with decent lift height. The minimum height is very tall. 6 tons is also 12,000lbs and my vehicle gross weight rating is 8,800lbs. Plenty of head room even if my vehicle was fully loaded to max weight. If you have a larger vehicle truck or SUV these are likely what you will require to be able to get the car high enough to remove the wheels. And a floor jack at least 3tons but I'd recommend 4tons or higher rating if you can store and pick up a floor jack that size. A 3 ton floor jack is alot heavier than it looks if you have to pick it up for any reason.

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.

These are simply outstanding. The quality of welds, casting, fit and finish on these is amazing. I had a pair of Harbor Freight jack stands that cost the same, but they were recalled because the Harbor Freight ones were deadly dangerous to use, and I wanted something I could depend on with my life. I'm never buying their stands again, but these were highly praised on some non-monetized YouTube channels.Build quality is excellent. The welds are done perfectly, with decent penetration. The red stand portion is cast all the way up the length, giving good usability across the full lift length. The locking pit fits nicely, with a tight fit as it should be.Highly recommended purchase. They came well packaged, and were delivered without any issues or shipping damage.
