Napa here. Phew

Car has been sitting on a set of these for the better half of 2 years, haven't died yet lol

I wont crawl under any of my vehicles with my HF jack holding them up as I dont trust it, lol.
Non HF jackstands always go under when I'm using my jack.

Good PSA. I will check mine when I get home. Better to know before I do my exhaust install.

Ditto. I'll buy stuff from HF, but PPE (aside from gloves) and stuff that's preventing something large and heavy from crushing me? Not a fucking chance.

I like Harbor Freight's floor jacks. I've never used their jack stands though. I have a set of Crafstmen 3 tons that are probably equally as sketchy. I'm sure they were made in China.

Like everything HF, inconsistent build quality is their hallmark. Never know if you're gonna get something that'll last 10 years or 10 min.

Thank You !

I have some older HF 3 tons. Orange in color and different physical design on closer inspection. Also, never had a sticker on them, let alone the Pittsburgh brand.

But thanks again for the heads up. Good info, will pass along to other groups.

I've got the exact same ones from HF. Orange with a white lift post. I think the number on mine were 31141 or some shit.

On second thought maybe I won’t be adjusting my rear suspension and changing my vent canister this weekend.

Yep my Jackstand of choice.

I have the 6 ton gray stands.
I only use them on the lowest setting.
Guess I will take them back

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I have 4 sets of these, guess I’ll have to check the numbers. If a wheel is off the ground but not coming off I use cribbing. Only time it’s on a stand is if the tires are coming off and I’m usually not far under it then.

 

[sickmint79]

buddy had these and had one fail. already had returned them.

I needed a security torx bit and Harbor Freight was the closest store that had one. They had a dozen of them. I dug through them and found 1 and only 1 that had the security pin in the proper location. The other 11 or so were all tooled so badly they wouldn't have worked. 11 out of 12 failure ratio on that part. I guess the manufacturers felt that was good enough?

Not the same number, but it’s puts doubt in my head about sliding under these.

Ehh, they will only fall to their lowest setting.
