Interesting test, I've been using jackstands for 40 years and I've never had one break or tip a vehicle over. My biggest fear is the vehicle slipping off the jackstand. So placement is key for safety. I was very impressed with the amount of weight some of these could hold before breaking. Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@alexnutcasio936]

This ^^^^^^^? I’ve been using jack stands for many years and not once did one fail. Also, when you’re testing the tip over , you really should have set them further apart to balance the load. No one I know would place them that close together under an axle for example. Just another 6 inches further out on each would make a huge difference in tippability.

[@EkiToji]

Considering it has to hold a critical load over a person I would have expected a safety factor of five, which for a 3 ton jackstand would mean 30,000 pounds before failure. At least jackstands don't have to deal with dynamic loading but honestly was hoping it would be a little higher.

[@brianwright9514]

@@alexnutcasio936 he needed to test the stands, not the quality of the placement. Placing them closer together reduced the load required and made the test safer while still offering a qualitative assessment.

[@thebigmacd]

@@alexnutcasio936 the distance between the jackstands has no bearing on how much tipping force is required. He's not testing how easy it is to tip the vehicle. The tip-over force for a jackstand is a factor of geometry, weight of the load, and surface stability, nothing else.

I recently purchased and am using the Big Red jack stands. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I had some reservations with the aluminum construction and non-conventional design, but I bought them for a lighter vehicle and for the smaller footprint and weight. Your video validates that these stands are about as safe as the conventional stands. I particularly appreciate the lateral and forward force-to-tip comparisons. Well done! I appreciate all of your videos and the hard work that you do for all of our benefit and safety!

[@potatotime4747]

The issue with aluminum over steel isn't initial strength but that repeated stress (even in moderate amounts) will cause it to weaken substantially over time. It's why even aluminum bike frames can develop cracks after a few years despite regular city use. Most likely these stands won't be used enough that it's a problem, but can't say for sure from these tests.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

I'd say they are the more conventional design, the cylinders with holes in them held up by pins used to be way more common than the ratcheting jackstands, pretty sure they were invented before the ratchet style.

[@dathat555]

I also have the Big Reds and like them for my smaller vehicles. Easier to move around and a smaller footprint when I'm rolling on a creeper. Watch out for look-alike brands with a round base (not a hex shaped base). The round base can "walk" if tipped slightly or used on uneven surfaces.

[@aussie2uGA]

I use the Big Reds for swapping track wheels onto a 4,000lb Tesla and also taking some longterm stress off a ToyHaulers axles. They work very well but the red paint will fade if left in the sun.

I would like to say thank you for making this video and the importance of using jackstands. I have personally known someone I worked with who lost their life, changing the oil in their car at home and their own garage because they're Jack failed. They did not have jackstands as an extra measure to protect them. This guy was hard-working, very friendly to everyone and had custody and was taking care of his daughter and worked all the time so he could provide a good life for him and his daughter, and was getting ready to help send her to college, and he's no longer with us simply because of a failed O-ring in a jack and not using jackstands as safety measure

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! So sorry to hear! I certainly hope this video will make an impact on the importance of safety!

[@654Crossman]

Life doesn't always makes sense. Some people been changing their oil that way their whole life and die old. Others don't make it passed 30. As a full time mechanic, I started making sure my lift locks were always on after seeing one of the hydraulic cylinders fail. Luckily I made sure both lift locks worked that time. The last few cars before it, the locks didn't engage and I got under them. It was a sobering experience. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you and the family my best. Staying alive is the biggest priority for all living things. Safety doesn't kill.

You know, this series has really taught me to appreciate the Husky brand more. In a lot of these showings it's usually in the bottom 3 in terms of price, and yet will often show up brands twice as expensive or more, almost without effort.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@ShiningDarknes]

Husky is cheap but typically performs middle of the pack in every application they make a product for. It isn't the best brand but for the price it is probably one of the most reliable, you often need to spend twice as much for a marginal improvement (for safety this is important but for ruggedness not so much).

[@mickeyslim]

Just got a husky set and thought I'd watch a video on them... went with husky over daytona as harbor freight was like 20 miles away vs your local home depot let's just say I'm happy with my purchase I think it's a weirder design for the locking mechanism but it's solid build overall

[@whyqu.i.t]

With 24 years of experience with Jack stands, I don't think I've ever seen one fail. Maybe because I use them properly, or learned correctly the first time, but no, I've never seen a failure. That's why this video rocks!

[@F0XD1E]

That's good! Considering these jack stands are rated for 6000lbs as a pair and that's only to lift half a vehicle, they will be well under their rated load for any typical vehicle. For the truck he was using in his tests, he would be better off with a bigger 6 ton model that doesn't have to be set to maximum height to get the tires off the ground.

[@toyotatundra0455]

[@RK-kn1ud]

@@DamplyDoo They're probably safe when used correctly, but too time consuming (assuming your vehicle manufacturer even gives you a Jack and a spare these days). For that reason, I keep a full size aluminum floor jack in the back of my truck along with a breaker bar (and a 1/2" cordless impact). I can change a flat in under 5 minutes with the breaker bar, and quicker with the impact gun. I can't always trust that the impact gun is going to be charged though. It's just a cheap Amazon impact.

[@whyqu.i.t]

@@DamplyDoo the only time I've seen a scissor jack failure was on an incline, any jack for that matter. The steeper the incline the more likely of failure. Which is extremely dangerous. Always lift a vehicle on a flat surface. The jack that comes with any vehicle is designed for use with that specific vehicle. Avoid using a stock jack from a different vehicle because of where and how the jack should be placed.

[@luthergrant7336]

One thing I would suggest. To be fair to all brands. I am a master tech, been in business for 32 years this month. I only say that to reinforce what i am going to say. As a professional if i were to use any jack stands they would as far to the outside as they could be. In other words if properly used they are to be placed against the wheel on the axle. or if used on the side they would be placed under the reinforced part of the pinch weld or a frame. doing that assures that even the cheapest pair of stands would fair better that where you placed them. Which is incredibly dangerous. Other than that your videos are always informative, unbiased, and on point.

[@connivingkhajiit]

It was likely to be for a worst case scenario, as well to not have his tires land on the jacks each time and crush them

[@LightSpinAngler]

I was wondering this too, because 170 pounds is easily enough to tip it getting in and out of the drivers seat on the stands. Or ratcheting down a high torque bolt.

[@Robmancan1987]

The big thing is to always chock the front and back of at least one wheel before doing anything. I usually sit my vehicles weight on the jack stands and then pump my jack back up to about half a pump once it contacts the vehicle. So there's a tiny bit of pressure but not enough to lift it from the jack stands. If I'm working on calipers or something I'll also throw the wheel under the A-arm behind the rotors I'm working on. You can't be to careful.

I'm happy they are actually at the top in these ratings too, I didn't expect that.

I like the tube style like the Big Red used here, they fit in tighter places and it's pretty much impossible to screw up and leave them only half-installed.

[@nfsfanAndrew]

I agree. They seem to take up less space while still stable. Problem with my car is limited lift points/access due to plastic trim pieces as well as low ground clearance. I also have to back on to ramps or wood blocks before i can even get a floor jack underneath.

[@destrygriffith3972]

Right? If you are new or just trusting you might not notice if the tooth is actually engaged, making the standard setup a real collapse hazard. I've only owned a few pairs of stands and have noticed poor tooth engagement several times, where the handle needed to be giggled down to fully seat. I dunno if the design would still likely work in the event of a slip but it seems sketchy as hell...

[@cratecruncher6687]

Cool tip: I love bicycles and always have punctured inner tubes around. If you cut a length of tube about four inches, then cut an oval out of the inside diameter it will slip over each ear of the casting and serve as both car protector AND increased friction. Being curved, the rubber will distort to form a valley in the center of the contact point of the stand. Even a new inner tube is cheap and can make slip covers for 10 stands.

Incredibly useful video!! I've got the Hein Werner's and have used them for about 9 years. They were $110 (for the set) back then and it was probably worth the price. Great to see them do well, with mainly their height hurting them. Nice to see the US Jack ones here too. I've considered getting them next time I need a new set.

The biggest thing I learned from this is to not use a jackstand as a single point of failure, and that almost all of brands performed the same if you aren't doing some stupid.

[@ldm125]

This was an awesome video and I will be buying at least two of these brands from this! One call out, the Big Red-style stands are great for when you have a creeper under the car and you're able to roll around on more ground. The US Jack-style stands take up a huge footprint and can get cumbersome in some situations. Both can be useful in their own way!

I have the Big Reds and they’ve been great. There is a little play of the shaft in the base if they are not on a level surface. I like how the base is mostly flat so it spreads out the load - good for dirt or crumbling driveways.

I always put the jack stands as close to the tires as possible, thinking a wider base is safer. If you do another test, try this and see if it makes a difference in the side push test. Car ramps, like many people use to change oil, would be a great test. Atv ramps would be another good one. Thanks for all the great and informative tests.

[@1pcfred]

I think the jack stands were put where they were as a worse case scenario to facilitate testing. The devices under test did have to fail for there to be any results to compare.

[@taz4100]

I did see some that weren't placed in the same positions as the previous brand. Specifically a left one that was closer to the dif. So I wouldn't take it as a be all end all comparison. The general results won't change. But the ranking of the closer ones may have. I also would have tested them all at the same height. Or all around 70 percent of max lift. I don't know anyone that ever used them at max lift. Especially before the newer style ones got better.

[@Fhwgads11]

I’m not a physician but I would think the position of the stands relative to the ease of the car being pushed off the jack stands isn’t really related, unless the stand gets caught by the side of the tire preventing the stand from tipping over. I can see The distance between the stand being relevant from stopping the vehicle from tipping like a teeter totter, though. If this is wrong I’d love to hear how.

[@TheMetalButcher]

@@Fhwgads11 You're correct. It won't change since it's a straight push.

[@1pcfred]

@@Fhwgads11 a wider stance offers more stability. It's all about the center of gravity. Everything is stable until the center of gravity is no longer over support. Things further apart put that support further away too. Which means the center of gravity has to travel further itself to go beyond that support.

If you decide on a round two, may I suggest adding esco to your brands. I liked their tripod style construction for the base since I’m rural and often use my stands as safety backup when working on farm equipment.

[@ProjectFarm]

I think esco has one of the best designs (safety pin, flats on the feet, wide triangular base) but when I bought a set the quality control was just awful.

I couldn't swallow paying their premium prices for such sloppy workmanship so I sent it back.

Still dont trust them. Odd world sometimes i think. Corruption. Every chinese guys welds aint the best. Thin metals. I think us jack is worth the cost. Because it has a wider base but also thicker metal bracing to help support its wider base while also providing a higher lift hight. I think the thicker metal will help it last longer before it rusts too much to be safe. These thin stamped sheet metal ones sketch me out compared to the big bar welded on the US jack

Yeah if you can it is always a good idea to have a safety back up. Sure the jackstands will probably be fine. But accidents happen in those outside edge cases. So strategically sliding a tire under a car or something might help.

[@calvarycustoms6681]

Excellent testing, Todd, thorough as always. 👍🏼 My one criticism would be the tests with the hydraulic press, specifically regarding the failure on the US brand stands. Weight is not meant to be supported on the ears, they’re meant more for stability (which of course most people know). If these stands were placed under a vehicle frame in a manner that caused the weight of the vehicle to be on the ears of the pedestal, this would constitute misuse by the user. I think it only fair that the press test be re-done, with the weight of the ram being properly on the pedestal. #mytwocents

[@Bread996]

I love mine. They’re well made with no wobble, which is reassuring. The pin makes them a little slower to use, but I’ve never pinched my hand like I have with the traditional style release. I also thought the small base would allow them to tip easily, but this test from PF alleviates those concerns.

I agree, I also like being able to put it much nearer the jack since its not as wide and bulky near the foot as traditional designs. Also that large base surface might even work well on softer footing; I'm not always on asphalt!

A great set of tests, and love PF and his enthusiasm for his work! A couple of observations I made while watching. At 8:01 the U.S. Jack has the pawls facing away from us and after tipping over, we see the bottom bracing rod is bent on the side opposite the pawl when struck by the tire. Later when testing on the rubber mat at 10:00 , the pawls are facing us so assuming this was done after the first test, I MIGHT see a slight bend in the bracing rod, so either it was straightened or a new one used, as not visually discernable. His placement of the stands was consistent across all brands and tests. The rod material of the braces would have an advantage when straightened out over flat steel as flat likely to crease in the first place based on material cross section but any stand that tipped under load should be replaced anyway.

Since the Daytonas are on sale right now at half normal price, it was an even swap. Never had a problem with the Pittsburgh ones, but wanted a locking pin, which the Daytonas have. 2 thumbs up to Harbor Freight. No questions asked, seems they want to make sure no jack stands fail, no matter warranty, recall, or whatever. Also, last year I bought some Northern Tool "Iron Ton" 3 tons as a backup, I would NEVER trust them for rated capacity. Good for holding up an engine or tranny maybe, but pretty thin steel. They do have a locking pin though, only reason I bought em, and on sale. Thanks Project Farm for all your hard work making us safe and informed: VERY Impressive 🎉🎉
