All ratchet type jack stands are not safe. If the lever is kicked they come down. A member had that happen and got his face smashed.
Use pin type only and use backups |

Bought some Esco pin out jack stands, they're fantastic. Got rid of all my old ratcheting stands.
Buy them like your life depends on them...  |

I like the rubber pad on those. Yes, only pin stands for me for years now.

I like your placement under the quickjack. cool idea. I usually just put the backup stands under the engine bar, but this gives more space!

BillC, I checked your list and discovered my 4 jackstands are on the recall! Took them to Harbor Freight today and got a refund. Thanks to you and 914 World community for keeping us Safe!
