Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall

[dhcomp]

I got an email from China freight and it looks like if you have ANY jackstands you can return them.

I myself have a set of the orange 6 ton one I bought literally the first time I ever was in a Chinese freight and didn't quite understand the junk they pedaled.
But I have used them under a ton of trucks over the last 15+ years.
I do wonder if they would return those or not.

I've LOVED my 12 ton ones. Super stable. Looking into the 6 ton defect though, want to check contact patch on the engagement pawl.

Returning my 6 tons today, hoping for cash and not store credit. Of course, just a few days before i need to do a full axle replacement on the trailer.

Holy shit. That part is strong. How did you break that? Are those the big ones?

My 12 tons are that color.

Took my recalled 6 tons back, and since their replacements have gone through recalls too, my options were $60 in credit or $50 in cash.

I took the $50 and ordered replacements on amazon.

This says it all.

Thanks for the heads up, my 3T set (all 4 of them) are the bad ones.
