Didn’t those get recalled? I gotta bring in my 3 ton and 6 ton. Good thing my 12 ton stands aren’t HF. I use those way more

 

they are recalled. don't buy. crazy that they are on clearance.

 

The recall was for specific model numbers.

 

Def not buying them again. Gonna get my store credit for the 3 and 6 tons and figure out what else to get get there

 

I'm gonna let the amateurs give Memorial Day all it's worth. So while people are escaping, Imma head down to 10th Street Distillery and pick up some whisky.

 

Every year for the last 14 years I've left Bishop over Memorial Day. All because of Mule Days and the crowds it creates in my little slice of paradise. Thanks to COVID-19 Mule Days is cancelled this year. Guess who's staying home this weekend? lol

 

What tires do you have

 

Head up to Coyote Flats and go tinker around funnel lake? Hahahha. I know a few people headed up that way this weekend.

 

I can't like this.

 

Picked up a couple of gallons of hand sanitizer there a couple of weeks ago for work. You have the better plan.

 

I was over at Trail Head Cyclery today and Lars & I were talking whisky. He says "Yeah, I went down there to get a gallon or two of hand sanitizer" which made me essentially need to explore the whisky. And they have pickup! W00T!

 

A little more costly than the cheap chinese shit, but worth it.

I go to a bonecrusher in San Ramon. He's great. And for military, it's $25 cash per visit. First assessment, and x-ray, free.

I s

I second this!

 

Thought I saw an article that says they are made in china, but assembled in US. I forget. I'll check back.


"US Jack Garage Stands are the only jack stands that are 100% made in America that we have been able to source. It is the brand that is used by the U.S. Military, Boeing, Snap-On, and Lockheed Martin."


"Hein-Werner is a jack stand that used to be made exclusively in the U.S.A. However, Hein Werner was bought a few years ago by the Shinn Fu Company of America, Inc. and the stands are no longer 100% U.S. made.

The box the stands are shipped in are labeled “Assembled in U.S.A” while the sticker on the jack stand says Made in the U.S.A.
So what the heck does that mean exactly?

After a little digging, we discovered that the jack stand base is made overseas and the cast iron support post is made in the U.S. The base is then shipped to the Hein-Werner factory in the U.S. where the jack stand is assembled (insert post in base) and boxed at the Hein-Werner factory and gets the aforementioned labeling."

The Hein Warners still look great, and are, no doubt, quality stands.

 

Yea my 12 ton jack stands are from northern tool. Really like them. Will probably go with them again for those 6 tons.
