Gadgetjq Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Several model numbers are being recalled because they can unexpectedly collapse (not a good thing in a jack stand). Here's a link with all the info you'll need: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/harbor-freight-recall-jackstands-collapse/?ServiceType=facebook_page&TheTime=2020-05-19T23%3A00%3A12&UniqueID=7EC4748E-9A24-11EA-8E3A-80CAC28169F1&ftag=COS-05-10aaa0a&PostType=link&fbclid=IwAR16iajXdOMeKQPrNjEvEkVtP7YDiMqXeCHO5pZf0ihMnyIUCumQ0eQwAYY Edited May 20, 2020 by Gadgetjq added photo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Thanks. Most of this style jack stands are made in China and sold in the US under many different labels, so I would suggest that anyone using ones that look similar to the Pittsburgh ones, also inspect the welds carefully. I have seen a few with very poor welds and a friend of mine returned his based on poor welds. Edited May 20, 2020 by 1004ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I just bought a Rennstand safe jack - should work great on the MKX or any unibody vehicle. A little pricey though. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/safe-jack-rennstand-by-safe-jack-18m-rs3/_/R-SAJK-18M-RS3?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrbfKg_LC6QIVF6SzCh2vqgbNEAQYASABEgK8mvD_BwE&ecmp=s:google_9816045574_100845004460__pla-670529025983_Safe Jack_S/J18M-RS3_base_US&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gp=1&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIrbfKg_LC6QIVF6SzCh2vqgbNEAQYASABEgK8mvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!7836!3!430284196293!!!g!670529025983!&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SC Shopping - NTM Desktop&ecmp=s:google_9816045574_100845004460__pla-670529025983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19USMC 69 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I go to HF occasionally. It's a good source for some.items, but I'd never crawl under a car supported by Chinese jack stands. I'd also throw coil spring compressors in the same category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
