Harbor Freight jack stand RECALL

[OR VietVet]

Yep, I wish there was a filter at Amazon that says "Not Made in China". Hopefully this pandemic is an awakening of manufacturing coming back to the US of A.

Agreed...............I try to by the made in USA label as much as possible

Unfortunately made in USA means 3x more expensive or more. Personally I would buy USA made exclusively but then I look at the price and I can’t afford to.

Complete agreement.

I use these Pro-Lift 6 ton jack stands and they use a pin that slides in a hole and keeps the movable arm from ratcheting back, keeping the teeth of each completely engaged with no chance of slippage if load slips/shifts.

Very similar to the ones that I have from Northern Tool. Have had them for 6 years or so and have been very with them.

Thanks for posting. I have 3 sets of affected stands. One set I was planning to be working under this weekend. Yikes!

I only use these highest quality jegs 6ton stands, more than likely the exact same as the HF

Also 6ton pfft

I got some jack stands last summer from harbor freight along with a floorjack when they went on sale. Just went out and checked mine for part numbers. Fortunately mine have different part numbers. Crazy though to think about it...

I returned my 6-ton jacks back to HF, but they only gave me a gift card, not a replacement. The new 6-ton jacks cost $10 more.
