Not sure if this is right place to post this but Esco Jack Stands are on sale for $30. I just picked up a set to add to the ones I have and paid a lot more for. I find these to be very sturdy and much safer than the ratchet style. No relation to seller. Acoordint to GarageJournal forums price has been fluctuating a bit.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just bought 4. $30 is a good price for these. Pelican wants $70 for the same stand.

Great heads up, just ordered 4, had been looking at them for a while on Pelican but was too much of a CSOB to buy them

Post when you get them, some research showed this company was shady...so I held off on ordering.
Hopefully all the parts come through to you all. If so, maybe I'll order a pair too.

Ordered 2 on 9/27, standard shipping, arrived today (next day) - probably drop shipped from Esco, since the package came from "Distribution Center North", and I'm in central PA.

Cool deal, I guess it was some old info or they are better now...I'll give it a try!

Mine arrived today. All good.
Only diff I see from my older ones is that there are now two holes where pin can be inserted instead of one. I see that as a design improvement.

Has anybody actually received their jack stands from this company?
They are based in Seattle, yet when I call during business hours, they say they are currently closed.
Is something wrong here?

Was thinking about making these for our group.. They would have long tabs welded to the nuts.. It looks like there already is a good stand out there.

What a deal. Still on sale today. I've been using two rachet-style stands with no safety pins and have been wanting to get a pair of these.
Thanks for the heads up.

Well, I can't say much about their procurement department...they sent me a "double" order. Did everyone else receive two-units per box? They shipped me four boxes...I'll be calling them and returning the extras. They do look nice.
PS: The rubber round pads sure do stink - literally.

If I put them under the car, it will forget how to get down. It took me forever the last time it was stuck up on stands...
Guess I could call the fire department, it works for cats in trees...
