That's a lot of jackstands kicking around.

Fortunately I don't have any

Those 3 ton look exactly the same as the ones I bought from Pep Boys. Any word of other manufacturers? I assume one plant could be making multiple brands, and slapping different stickers on them.

My 6-ton stands don't have those item numbers. I bought them in 2019.
My 3-ton stands I've had much longer.

I brought mine about the time you created your SN account.

My stands are BHF (before horrible freight) nothing special craftsman.

Steel1 · May 19, 2020

Just ran out to check mine, thankfully I have a pair of Allied and a pair of Cummins.

Mine are circa 2000 Craftsman stands. I’ve literally had my car stored on them for at least a decade cumulatively over the years

thanks for this, I actually have two sets. my car was on these during the entire resto. I guess I consider myself lucky, I was considering a set of quickjacks anyway.

Ryuk · May 20, 2020

Looks like I have a pair. My 70 spent quite a while resting on them.

lemosley1973 · May 20, 2020

Reinforces my decision to not buy from HF unless absolutely necessary or I need a cheap, one time use tool. I, fortunately, don't have any of these.

@Kabuki_notch those QuickJacks are neat, but $$$.

Good catch! My 6 tons are not in that run.

Harbor Freight recall replacement jack stands may be unsafe too, report says - CNET

One customer's recall-replacement jack stand split at the weld seam during use.

Damn!!! I hope the Torin Big Reds were not made in that same factory!!

kendawg73 · Jun 15, 2020

Hmmmmm, anyone else think China is really trying to kill us all one way or another?

elarm1 · Jun 15, 2020

I've seen some of the pics of the "bad" jack stands... YIKES!

kendawg73 · Jun 15, 2020

The thing is, most if not all are made in China anyway... and probably by the same people.... has anyone even seen a set that say made in the USA?

Rdub6 · Jun 15, 2020

Here’s an interesting article ..... scroll down a ways, and it talks about USA stands (there are not many).

Well yeah!! Have been for years. Lead in all those little toys that your kids beg for cause they conveniently place them right at a kids eye level, the conveniently placed sensor or hose clamp that is impossible to get to without burning your fingers or shreading the skin from the back of you hands and bleeding all over place scaring the bejesus outta your fellow employees.
