Found this guy on sale for $10, so I ordered it. Not expecting much at this price, but just something to throw in a tool bag. Or I might gift it.
Those look nice! I like the bars welded around the bottom perimeter.I returned my HF 6 ton jack stands, even though they weren't part of the recall. I ordered these US Jack 6 ton D-41610 jack stands, 2 pair. There's a 4-6 week wait time, I can wait.

Thanks! I had 6 ton HF jack stands that weren't part of the two recent recalls, but I didn't want to tempt fate. I never used them, and was able to return them w/o a receipt, which is what I did. These cost a lot more, but imo it was money well spent. I should have them in the early fall, just in time for tire rotations and a brake job.Those look nice!

Figured this place needs a thread to condense all the new tool posts. If not oh well...
Yes, and thanks for putting me onto them. With all the recent discussions about the HF recall, I thought it was worth posting about quality US made jack stands in this "New tool thread." 6 ton is overkill, but with two Jeeps and a full size van I wanted the load capacity and the extra height they provide.Those are good stands Frank. I would feel a heck of lot safer under the van with those than the ones from HF.
I get that but these threads on other forums have turned into a catch all for the basic tool acquisitions that only merit a “Hey look what I got” post. Special, usefull finds and other stuff still merit a thread of their own.The problem IMO with these types of threads like the "what are you listening to now" thread get so big that if you miss something it basically disappears into the abyss.
When I (I am sure most others too) post about a tool it is because it is either a useful tool or a good deal and want to put others on to not really to show them off which is also okay if you are into that sort of thing.
Nothing stopping you from creating a dedicated thread for a particular tool that you want to write about instead of posting in this "catch all" one.The problem IMO with these types of threads like the "what are you listening to now" thread get so big that if you miss something it basically disappears into the abyss.

I know that, some people don't do it though for some reason.Nothing stopping you from creating a dedicated thread for a particular tool that you want to write about instead of posting in this "catch all" one.
