The thing to consider when looking at welds is how it gets in the joint. This isn’t easy to see without destructive testing. A friend of mine was a test technician at a major tractor company in Iowa. He explained this too me when I was a young engineer. They would take cross sections of welds to test their processes. The point being is that a pretty looking weld can actually be trash. This makes it difficult for the consumer to judge the quality of a weld without testing it to yield or cutting a cross section.

Send them to one of the channels that uses hydraulic presses and see how they do. It would be interesting to see how the welds hold up, and if the "good" welds, which some has pointed out not necessarily are good just because they look even, are noticeably worse than the splatter feasts. Also the security pin on the Torin stand look like it would fail easily. With that small an area of engagement I wonder what they were thinking. On another note I'd be very vary of jack stands made of aluminium. It's a far weaker material than (at least decent) steel, and would have to be made from much thicker material. Only positives I see are weight and that they won't rust. But if you are not transporting them weight isn't that important and I at least tend to store the jack stands inside so rust isn't that big of an issue.

Even before the HF recall. I've had concerns of Jack stands w/o a secondary locking feature. I bought the Torin pair and were beautiful, except had a bubble weld on neck next to the lever. I returned them for another pair. The welds are good, but the painting was light in some areas. I'll go with the good welds and crappy paint. However, now I am having second thoughts and may buy the pro lift as the second pair. Great review, BTW.

I'd avoid the torin stands. I've had the welds and the sheet metal fail on a set of 2 ton jack stands. Just using the two of the jack stands to support half of my car a few times caused them to bend in the legs where the horizontal beam is at the bottom. Me and my friend had to whack them back in shape to be able to use them in the short time I had them. I actually have the Pro-Lift Jack stands you show here and they have been reliable and I had a friend of mine confirmed they were good welds on my set of 4. He said he would get under the car supported by it. The Torins got sent to the scrap yard for the $2 of scrap they were made of. I will never ever buy their jack stands again.

Welds are meh, but the pin design, flat saddle, and solidness exuded by these makes me feel so confident being under a car vs traditional ratcheting stands. I also appreciate the large feet on them that don't dig into the ground like traditional stands, plus it's a tripod design, so it never rocks. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Pins are 1/2 inch, grade 5 with sash chains attached. Overall collapsed height is 10 1/2 inches. Didn't cost me a penny - was an iron worker and used shop scrap. So I say, if you have the material and talent, build your own - if you can't then find someone who does fabricate for a living and hire them to make you a set. Peace of mind insurance.

Harbor freight Daytona jack stands are the best bang for your buck right now. Machine beautiful perfect welds. A safety pin that provides additional support. Welded cross bar. They are amazing for the price. Just for the 3 ton during the parking lot sale for $28!! Normally $50. There are review videos breaking down the build quality of them. On a crush test video it beat the pro lift pl3300 at 11,500 pounds! For one same jacks stand. That’s insane. which is the more expensive pro lift version of this one in the video at double the cost.

Wouldn't peening in that tab on the side keep anybody from fully extending the jack stand like you were concerned about? I agree that that's bad practice, but that's the primary purpose of that tab (right?). Also, I saw another video that was praising the architecture of jack stands that had an extra bar (for lack of a better word) all the way around the bottom of the jack stand, to have one more safety mechanism in case one of those welds down the sides give way under too much pressure. Care to comment on that? It made sense to me, but it looks like stands with that kind of build (e.g., US Jack) are all on the pricey side. And finally, regarding the per vs. pair question you brought up, I found this, for what it's worth: "The ASME PASE-2014 (Safety Standard for Portable Automotive Service Equipment) states that jack stands must be rated as a pair and not rated per stand. This became effective in late December of 2015. It also states: “Maximum load capacity per matched pair shall not exceed the rated capacity of the individual stand”." Hope this helps, and thanks for the excellent and informative video!

Because the jack stands' total tonnage support is for EACH PAIR of jack stands. Based on the video, basic thinking would be to buy a PAIR of jack stands that support TWICE the weight of your car. So, if your car is 6000lbs (3 tons) in weight, you would NOT want to buy a 3-ton PAIR of jack stands. If one fails, the other will, because the other one can't handle 3-ton of weight by itself. You would want to buy a 6-ton PAIR of jack stands!

Shinn Fu is based in Taiwan, but the stand is not made in Taiwan. The Pro-Lift stands are made in China.

i just made a followup video: a comparison of the pro-lift vs omega lift 3 ton, locking pin jack stands. (kzitem.info/news/bejne/zKqM2Kxnr6Z7aKA) i wanted to compare welds and pin engagement, since the pro-lift stands were in and out of availability, and the price was jumping up to $56 a pair, while omega lift was $46 a pair. since then the price of the pro-lift went back down to $37, but i made the comparison video and pro lift and omega lift 3 ton locking pin jack stands look identical. they're both made by shinnfu, hope this helps!

Actually the new harbor freight replacement stands look pretty decent. I watched a video about shitty welds on the inside where they can split, but mine was welded properly.

Don't forget HF just issued a recall on the replacement stands for the frame splitting at the weld. If your budget allows just get the Esco's - they're great.

@@ToolTeardowns because everyone buys the cheapest jackstands they can. If consumers wanted a premium version someone would make them.

I've order green arcan stands off Amazon . Th arcans have no locking pin and looks very similar to the torin. The teeth on the cast piece are short and gives me the feeling they aren't enough to engage properly. Also it wobbles just as the torins. Made in India 🙄

Nice video. Like you, I just don't like ratchet stands - not enough tooth engagement for my liking especially considering the recent HF recalls (2). I just bought the Esco pin stands that are rated at 3 tons EACH, so 6 tons a pair. The post is solid not hollow and the welds are pretty good with no foot wobble on the 3 legged design which is supported with extra struts all the way around. I don't mind spending a little over a $100/pair when it comes to my safety and don't think twice about getting under my Tacoma P/U with these.

Can these be used without the rubber stand? My cars use pinch welds so I see it basically cutting the rubber in half in no time

@@MalcombMedia1 I went with the US Jacks instead. A little more money but I liked them because they don't use the rubber on top and they are close to flat as well.

I ordered the Pittsburg series 2, 3 tons 2 pairs, it's been back ordered for like a month, just got an email, they still dont know the ship date, so I just cancelled the order. I'm probably gonna get aluminum pin style jacks, F it. Who knows how long it'll take to ship out 2 pairs. I know Pittsburgh has a lifetime warranty but whatever, I'm tired of waiting, I want to work on my car.
