    Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled for Risk of Collapsing

    The Harbor Freight jack stands 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.

    In a recall filed with the NHTSA on March 20 of this year, Harbor Freight explains that certain 6-ton jack stands have the potential to disengage their support pawl under shifting weight, causing the stand to drop suddenly. A second recall, filed May 3, extends the recall to 3-ton jack stands. The defect is attributed to aging tooling at the factory that produced the jack stands.

    Thanks! I’ll check to see if mine are affected. Mine were blue. Not that it makes a difference.

    If I’m going to risk my life laying under 1-2 tons, I’m definitely not entrusting Harbor Freight with any of that.

    Throw them away and buy something decent like ESCO jack stands.
