you know I would like to buy American not Chinese but it seems we currently
do not have a choice.
I have bought American name brand and it is labeled made in China.
So I agree to buy the best Jack Stand.
The question is who makes American quality not don't buy Harbor Freight.

A A A FYI - Jeff6559
A A A The Harbor Freight jack stands that we've all bought,
borrowed or
A A A seen in our friends' garages are being recalled due to a
risk of
A A A collapsing under load. Go check yours immediately.
A A A In a recall filed with the NHTSA on March 20 of this year,
Harbor
A A A Freight explains that certain 6-ton jack stands have the
potential
A A A to disengage their support pawl under shifting weight,
causing the
A A A stand to drop suddenly. A second recall, filed May 3,
extends the
A A A recall to 3-ton jack stands. The defect is attributed to
aging
A A A tooling at the factory that produced the jack stands.
A A A The recall document says that the problem could affect more
than
A A A 450,000 6-ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019 and
nearly
A A A 1.3 million 3-ton jack stands produced between 2012 and
2020. These
A A A jack stands were sold under the Pittsburg brand name, and
can be
A A A identified by item numbers
A A A 56371 or 61196 on 3-ton models, and 61197 on 6-ton models.
A A A Harbor Freight urges anybody in possession of affected jack
stands
A A A to return them to the store in exchange for a gift card
equal to the
A A A price of the stands. Any unsold jack stands covered by the
recall
A A A have been removed from stores. Check on your buddies and
spread the
A A A word aroundathese jack stands are ubiquitous, and a failure
like
A A A this could be fatal.
