Same, with one big caveat: I wont use HF for anything safety related. They've had recalls on their jackstands. If it can fail while I'm under it, I don't go HF lol

I had the same reservation until recently. A few weeks back I bought a set of their 6t Daytona jackstands after inspecting the welds and safety pins and those things are damn solid. I probably wouldn't use their much cheaper and smaller 3t models, but these 6t stands are great. I have a hunch they upped their QC and quality after all that bad jackstands press they got.

Good to know! It's going to take me a while to trust them, but I'm glad they're moving in the right direction!
