Economical and good for most DIY jobs

Arcan 3-Ton Steel Jack StandsMy husband has been looking for jack stands, so I ordered these when they were offered. Anyone who crawls under anything held up by only a jack is asking for trouble. These jack stands work great for most DIY maintenance and repairs. They are lightweight and easy to place yet have plenty of strength for any vehicle or tractor that would fit into a typical garage. They are shipped without the support column inserted in the stand. Before you insert them, examine the…

Pros
  • ‎Black,Green
Cons
  • The stands are heavy and can be difficult to move around

Affordable but still great quality

These are nice quality jacks that are great to have around. I use them to support my boat trailer and as added support when jacking up vehicles and equipment. I like them because they are light weight and portable. They lock in place very very securely and I feel safe when using them. The pyramid style shape makes them very stable. I have used them on gravel and had no problems with the uneven surface. There are also bright and easy to spot in the shop. The paint is thick and doesn’t have any…

Pros
  • ‎5 Inches
Cons
  • The stand doesn't come with a carrying case or bag for transportation

Very poorly constructed

Neither jack sat level. Both has an approx. 1/8" wobble, which meant both had only two legs contacting the floor. Not something you want to trust your life to, when laying beneath a 3 ton+ vehicle. Both were returned the next day.

Pros
  • ‎3 Ton Steel Jack Stands
Cons
  • The minimum height of the stand is too high for some vehicles

Great budget choice

These jack stand works pretty well, just be aware of the weight limitation and how the lock mechanism works▶ Quality & DesignPretty solid construction and the paint job (for now) seems to be applied very well. The design is pretty standard with other jack stands but i really like that these have some wider base at the feet▶ Operation The adjustment and lock mechanism is pretty standard but some people will feel safer with a pin lock. Regardless, if you are aware of its weight limitation and…

Pros
  • ‎Arcan
Cons
  • The stand doesn't provide enough clearance for some vehicles to fit under it

Good Safety Jacks for my opinion

These work great for a small vehicle. They feel heavy, as expected for jack stands, and even look pretty nice with the paint colors. I'm sure they won't looks so great after more use, but that is fine. While nothing special, the value is good for some basic jack stands that are delivered to my home. These are keeping me safe and I don't think you'll be disappointed for the price.

Pros
  • CONTOURED SADDLE: A large contoured saddle with locating lugs helps support and position vehicle frame.
Cons
  • The rubber pads on the stand can easily tear or come off, causing instability

Very heavy duty for my opinion

Great jackstands. These feel extremely secure and stable which is important when you are working underneath a car and the only thing standing between your skull and 2 tons of automobile are the jack stands. I like that the posts are bright green, it makes it much easier to see them even in the dark so you are less likely to bump one on accident. It also makes them easy to spot when its time to remove them. Very good quality.

Pros
  • ‎1 year
Cons
  • The stand has sharp edges that can scratch or dent the vehicle

These are nice sturdy jack stands in a smallish size. I have (what I would consider) full-sized jack stands, but they require getting the car pretty far off the ground just to fit them under and I often don't need it that far up. These fit the bill in that more common case. Interestingly, the color is opposite that shown, green body and black support shafts.

Pros
  • Power Tools
Cons
  • The stand doesn't come with a warranty or guarantee

They work! good for me

These are jack stands and they work. I actually like them a lot, easy to work with and do the job. I got a chance to work with these when a issue occurred requiring me to repair my exhaust. (I live in the rust belt so its' easy to see what happened.) The repair was easy, and these made the job even easier and safer. Just remember to block off your tires that are on the ground. I surprisingly see people who still don't do that.

Pros
  • ‎13.6 x 9.8 x 8.2 inches
Cons
  • The paint on the stands can also rub off onto the vehicle
