got some new jack stands
I know nothing really exciting but I've been shopping for some for a few weeks since the last time I used my old ones to get under a car ,the old ones were 3 ton and I had to raise them all the way up to get my gut under the car (lol), this made me uneasy about getting under it, the older I get the less I like getting under one , plus I saw a thread with some twisted up el cheapo stands. anyway the new ones I bought at northern tool are 6 ton and I believe the max lift was about 23 inches . the best thing I liked about them is that they are double locking ,they use a pin as a safety which locks in above the usual lock.(see pics)
