6 Ton Jack Stands $24.99

[HotRodPC]

Here is the time. These usually go on sale once a year at Harbor Freight for half price. I think its Dec. 31 - Jan 4th Only. A coupon in the HF retail flyer for $24.99. You can't beat these things and they will give you enough lift to work the square body trucks safely. I have a set and use them all the time. Everyone I know that has 3 tons, are about a waste cuz there is not enough height to use them on truck or SUV's. Go get a set NOW while on sale for $24.99. That's even cheaper than the 3ton are usually.

Nice find!! Thanks for the heads up, HRPC!

Like any HF item, it can be hit or miss. I know people that have had these bend on them.

Really??? That would NOT be a good situation! The last thing I want is to have some 3+ ton truck/SUV landing on me because a jack stand bent....

The Coupon there.


They bent?? I have had mine for 4 years. I have even had the box van loaded and setting on them with Dana 70, the box and all. No issues at all. Is it possible it may have been the aluminum ones??? These are steel.

i'm glad all my tools are craftsman don't like them bending.
i have bought engines at harbor freight for my push mowers and they are damn good Honda clones.

I've broken more late C-man sockets and spread more late C-man wrenches than I care to admit. Love my old stuff, some of my C-man is from the 20s and 30s and still work great. Made when **** was built to last.

Then again, I bought a new set of Mac sockets and broke three right off. Never again. Only Sabina made Mac for me.

And are you sure it wan't the 3ton jack stands? The 6 tons look hella lot stronger, and as I said, the box van isn't light, and with it loaded, it held it up just fine. They didn't even creek or groan and have plenty of height to them. I know they'll work good for squarebodies. I'd get under these any day of the week. I am thinking of getting me another set so I have 4 and one at each corner when I do transmission R&Rs.

I'm definitely kinda skiddish about those jack stands now after what Retro said about them failing.....

 

[HotRodPC]

I'm thinking he got bad info. Maybe the 3 tons, or they had a semi on them, or they were aluminum. I honestly don't see it happening. These things are tough. I have 2 other buds that have the same set and never had an issue either. One of them uses them on his 33ft Motorhome too.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

No bad info, seen the pics. but they could have been the 3 tons.

I have the HF 12 tons. Keep it nice and high when working. I have no doubts about them for the $85 they cost.

 

[HotRodPC]

Those must be nice. I have not taken at look at them. I had a 25% off coupon I could have used on something like that. Maybe instead of getting me another set of 6 tons, I'll get the 12 tons. I can use the 12 tons up front for my height and stregth since that is where the weight is, and the 6 tons in the back. I only need enough lift to do transmission and transfer case R&R's on my trucks. I don't do R&R for cash. I only do bench trans builds for cash.

I need to get another set. I tried to steal mine back from under my buddies jeep after that prank but they were gone!
