Re: Always, always, always use sturdy jack stands...

Like I said. I use a fir round that is larger in diameter that it is tall. There is no way it can tip. After a dislocated shoulder, many broken ribs, torn cartilage and a tattoo of a trailer ball nut bruised into my shoulder I wont get under anything unless I know there is a reliable safe guard. Metal on metal does not create enough friction for my comfort.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
