Not sure where this should go as its a priority announcement but here it is:

The Harbor Freight jack stands 3 & 6 ton that we've all bought, borrowed or seen in our friends' garages are being recalled due to a risk of collapsing under load. Go check yours immediately.

I wonder if there is a certain year they were produced or all of them. I'm from Canada and I think I bought some that looked like that from Canadian Tire. But about 4 years ago.

I have an old set of jack stands that someone on YouTube identified as being dangerous as the locking pawl is not positively locked on the hand lever. https://youtu.be/T3W8SEDsuCI
After seeing this I rushed out to the garage to check mine and found that my same model jack stands have a drive pin that locks the hand lever to the pawl therefore were not at risk for this failure.

Well my car is sitting in the air on all four corners on the recall 6 ton ones. Has been for 2 yrs and a lot of pounding. I'll have to wait until I'm done before I take them back for their "in house gift certificate".
