    Re: Harbor Freight Jack Stands Immediate Recall

    For those of us who work on our own cars:

    "Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled for Risk of Collapsing. In a recall filed with the NHTSA on March 20 of this year, Harbor Freight explains that certain 6-ton jack stands have the potential to disengage their support pawl under shifting weight, causing the stand to drop suddenly. The recall document says that the problem could affect more than 450,000 6-ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019 and nearly 1.3 million 3-ton jack stands produced between 2012 and 2020."

    "The recall document says that the problem could affect more than 450,000 6-ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019 and nearly 1.3 million 3-ton jack stands produced between 2012 and 2020. These jack stands were sold under the Pittsburg brand name, and can be identified by item numbers 56371 or 61196 on 3-ton models, and 61197 on 6-ton models."

    Bought mine off the tool truck many years ago, they were expensive then and still are. Your life is worth more than a $20 stand, you can cut corners on some stuff, this shouldn’t be that area.

    You get what you pay for, mine are over 20 years old...... https://shop.snapon.com/product/Jack...-Stands/YA875B

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
