jkeaton Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Figured I'd throw this out there for the DIY'rs. Harbor Freight has recalled their 3 ton jack stands. Be careful if you are still using them. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/harbor-freight-recall-jackstands-collapse/ NavalLacrosse, John/Horace and 2late4u 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
