Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall

[DaveTN]

This sounds like it has the potential for serious injury, so I thought I'd post this in case any of you have these jack stands.

They recalled the jack stands that replaced the ones they previously recalled. That's embarrassing.

That is one of the reasons I don't shop at Harbor Freight. 99% of what they sell is made in China and most all Chinese Steel has small air pockets in it making it very weak. I bought a driveway alarm there so I would know if anyone drove in my driveway at night. It worked twice and never beeped again so next time I got near Harbor freight I took it back. They replaced it and the one I got, new in the box never worked at all. Took it back and the guy said we don't sell those anymore and I said great cause I want my money back and not another piece of Chinese Junk!!

Some if their stuff is fine for typical homeowner use. Some of it is junk. At least they're owning up and issuing a recall.

Yep. I respected the founders statement. It was one of the most honest apologies I've seen.  I buy their tools for working on my truck and they work just fine.
