I have found some Hein-Werner 3 ton jack stands here: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200349988_200349988
I see why everyone else is making them in China. The Chinese ones are going for $20 on sale.
The HW set is going for $70 (plus $15 shipping).
These are only a backup--I do oil changes on ramps. This HW set is more expensive than the ramps. Does anyone know of another Made in USA brand of jack stands?
OK, I realize my health is worth more than 85 bucks. My question is, can I get a quality backup for less?
I'd also like to throw in--have there been quality issues with Chinesium jackstands that folks have noticed? I seem to be doing ok with computers made in China, but of course a mistake in assembling the motherboard isn't going to crush my ribcage.
