irishfield Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 If you own any Harbor Freight stands STOP using them and check the product number. 454,000 of them out there that may have the ability to collapse. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33572/harbor-freight-recalls-jack-stands-that-could-suddenly-collapse?fbclid=IwAR1X5za85AEA-pEz7ePEz6SL22585er0sFU3FQHiYWhrM4Y4cm9DY3gAcVM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack_Fisherman Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Does anyone know if the Big Red stands are suspicious also? Probably all made by the same factory overseas. Time to make this stuff in North America again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanD Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I wouldn't buy anything that is remotely safety related from Harbor Freight or Princess Auto. Made the mistake once (no one was hurt); but when that 3 ton chain hoist failed, it dropped a Chevy small block on the fender of a 69 Nova; it made a very costly mess.

irishfield Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hey I'm not telling you where to buy stuff, just the messenger of where NOT to buy stuff or if you did to return it for replacement/refund. I don't imagine anything currently available from CTC is any better than PA or HF either, just a different colour paint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
