BIG RED T43002A Torin Steel Jack Stands: Double Locking, 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity, Red, 1 Pair

I bought a pair of the 3 ton ones to use as extra support when I'm working on my jeep (about 3200 lbs). I inspected afte delivery, and found no problems with the pair (no cracks on the frame, no paint chips etc.) so the quality seems high. They are solid as well, though most of the mass seems to be in the black part. While I like the idea of the double-lock design, I never rely on this alone for my safety. Always use these in conjuction with something else. For me, it's my scissor jack, coupled with a wheel under the car. Better safe than sorry. I do feel like the design could've been better to allow the silver pin to contact a greater area of the black part, for a more secure form of protection. But, I won't take away a star, because this is the secondary protection mechanism, and because you should never be under a vehicle relying soley on jack stands for support. Like I said, I use these while sharing some of the weight of the vehicle on the scissor jack, while a wheel is placed under the vehicle just in case. These stands have never felt wobbly under the jeep for me, and I have no reason to doubt their ability to support the weight I expose them to. And, of course, just in case they begin failing, I do a pre-inspection and post-inspection, so I'll notice. I got these for just over $30, and at that price point, I am happy with what I got. If I wanted something to make me feel 'safer', I'd easily spend ten times that. Or maybe I'd buy a floor jack, or a ramp, or even a lift.

I have old Craftsman jack stands lying around. I wanted to upgrade them, so I did. The Torin jack stands are perfect for my auto repair needs. Easy height adjustment and I really like the extra security of the locking bar to prevent any mishaps. Quality jack stands.

Product is excellent, made very well and sturdy strong. I would buy again, and again. Thumbs up.

I really liked the double locking feature of these jack stands. I would have much rather bough a set that was made in the USA but finding a set that is actually produced here seems to be a fools errand unless you have a ton of money to spend. For the money they seem to be a great quality. Unfortunately I failed to notice that the floor jack I have did not lift the car high enough to get these under the pinch welds under my 05 corolla. But with some ingenuity we were able to get them underneath. They supported the car well, never moved and felt very stable through replacing my back struts and my front brake pads. There were a few times that we really had to torque some of the parts down and still the car didn't budge. There were some reviews about the welds that made me pause in buying these pads. I tend to spend a long time shopping for things since I want to make sure that my purchases last a long time and that I get the absolute best price I can. But after reading many more reviews giving these good praise I went ahead and purchased them. I have never welded in my life, but from what I could see these held my car just fine, with no signs that they may fail. Granted, I bought the 3 ton jack stands for my 2,500 pound Corolla. I figure bigger is better when it comes to something that is holding a car above you ( I also had my wheels under parts of the car, as well and the floor jack just barely touching the jack point just in case). My car was up on these jacks for a total of 6 hours and never budged. I would highly recommend.

These are very nice jack stands. They're sturdy and the locking pin makes me feel just a bit safer under the vehicle.

These jack stands work great. I’ve never used a set with the double locking pin and I really like that. They are simple to assemble, just slide the black piece in the red piece and bend the tab over. Self explanatory if you’ve ever used a jack stand before. Oh and another reviewer complained about how having to assemble a piece of safety gear yourself seems unsafe - something about bending the tab over. The tab just keeps the top from coming back up out of the bottom if you were to pick the jack stand up from the top. The tab bears no weight. Just an FYI to anyone who doesn’t understand the purpose of the tab. I would question the quality control though. After seeing all the photos of horrible welds, I immediately checked mine upon arrival. I am not a welder by trade, but have done a minimal amount of welding here and there. To me, the set I recieved does not appear to be too bad. There is a spot here or there that isn’t perfect but for the most part I think the welds are sufficient. Possibly the company read these reviews and fixed their QC dept, or possibly I just got lucky. I do wonder why they chose to only weld on the inside and not on the outside though.

I have been using these jack stands quite a bit on both of my vehicles. They work very well on my Honda Odyssey which is a bit on the heavy side. But they work and operate as they should. I recommend these jack stands for the money that you pay.

I ordered these Big Red jacks after returning three sets of Harbor Freight jacks to their store after they recalled several models of stand jacks. I was pleasantly surprised when I received these Big Red jacks. I bought two sets of 6-ton jacks and one set of 3-ton jacks with the anticipation that I might need to return them if the quality was not acceptable. I was concerned about some of the reviews that seem to be from some time ago. These Big Red jacks show very good manufacturing quality with clean welds and consistent finishing in all six jacks. The safety pin is a must for me, and they fit fairly good on all possible step heights on all of the 6-ton jacks. On the 3-ton jacks, I had to grind and file a little bit the first three or four teeth on both jacks to make them fit properly. Not a big deal, but something I shouldn't have had to do. I adjusted the teeth instead of the pin or the pin opening because they fit well in all other step heights. It is not a product that I would be buying often, but I am very satisfied with the product. The quality of these Big Red jacks is probably five times better than the recalled Harbor Freight jacks that I wouldn't risk my life going under any vehicle with them. Also, these Big Red jacks seem to have a capacity of 6 tons each (very sturdy), as opposed to Harbor Freight 6-ton jacks capacity for the pair. Same thing with the 3-ton jacks capacity vs. HB 3-ton pair capacity. You can do your own research, but just looking at the Big Red jacks you would realize they are much more strong and sturdy. The safety pin is also peace of mind since you cannot raise or lower the jack without disengaging the safety pin.

القفل المزدوج هام جدا

Questo cavalletto è molto robusto ed il doppio bloccaggio rende più sicuro il sollevamento della macchina.

Stevig en veilig. Dat laatste mede door het dubbele lockingmechanisme.

Good

Bem embalado, produto qualidade mercado americano
