If you own a Harbor Freight jackstand that is RED or GREY cease using them immediately. There's a safety recall on them. See the above link. Bring them back to the store and they'll give you a gift card for the amount you paid.  Urgent Recall Notice on Pittsburgh 3 Ton & 6 Ton Jack Stands! |

Bump and thanks, even though I don't have them.
I have had ratchet style jackstands fail spectacularly, Now I use the double pin style - there are too many fail-points on ratchets that are not obvious. In my case, it was the cold steel roll pin that kept the tooth aligned on the post - it sheared and the tooth let go of the post and the center post shot straight down - and no, it wasn't over-weighted and was in good shape. |

Not all the gray ones need to be replaced. Just the ones affected. I have four 6 ton gray jack stands and two are affected and two are not.
Check the numbers. |

I know, hence why the numbers are in the title line. Call it social engineering to get people to actually check the numbers on their stands if you'd like. |

Thanks for the link. I guess I need to return mine and pony up for some nicer stands.

I have a couple of these jack stands. Came here to post this after seeing it on reddit but found this thread. Bumping for visibility.

Turns out I've got a pair of the 3 ton ones called out by number that'll be returned today....no idea what I paid for them.
They were under my Son's Mazda and had been for a couple months...before I completely removed the floor jack, I'll jiggle the car to determine if anything isn't right before sliding my fat ass under there. |

On a side note, I'm considering getting a quickjack lift for my garage. For the types of work I do on my own vehicles they would be perfect |

I came here to post this after seeing it on Facebook. I've got 3 pairs affected. One set still in box.

So all of the orange ones are safe? I've never seen a red stand at harbor freight. I know some color blind folks use red and orange interchangeably. I have 6 of the 6 ton orange stands and 4 of the 3 ton orange stands.

Yeah these numbers aren't there. My stand numbers begin with LETTERS. The larger 6 ton stands are P38847 and the smaller 3 ton stands are P38846. Just making sure. Scary!

Just checked my 3 ton set... not on the list.
Anyone have a link to a good 3 ton set? Have not heard of double pin before but an always interested in better safety with jacks. I throw a couple of 4x12's under the corners when my rigs are up. Thanks, |
