if you use HF jackstands, they just issued a recall, it's worth checking.

LOL! I value my life too much to buy or use Harbor Freight jack stands.

it worth mentioning, that it's not a bad practice to inspect things like jackstands prior to working under a car no matter who made them. I also would not be surprised if the vast majority of jackstands available are made in the same factory right next to HF stands.

Just the six ton? I've got their three ton (I think) which seem to have a lot of complaint videos on Youtube.
