Here’s a link to the Harbor Freight jackstands that are being recalled. Apparently the catch pawl can slip and allow collapse of the stands under load.

Jackstands Recall
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/bu...-of-collapsing/ http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...t&id=359643 https://www.foxnews.com/auto/454000-harbor-...isk-of-collapse My standard operating procedure was to wire them shut, with baling or fence wire. I inspected every set I purchased, and found the manufacturing tolerances poor, the cast serrations and toggle interface too easily tripped by the slightest movement of the toggle handle. Frightening to think of what could happen in a failure. https://www.princessauto.com/en/search?Dy=1...;Ntt=jackstands http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...er-porsche.html Bags https://www.santiam.net/matjack_low_pressur...fting_bags.html https://www.holmatro.com/en/industrial/lifting-bag-hlb-16 |
