BIG RED T46002A Torin Steel Jack Stands: Double Locking, 6 Ton (12,000 lb) Capacity, Red, 1 Pair

These are of great quality and have perfect welds on every single unit I have. I purchased two sets of the 6 ton and one set each of the 2 and 3 ton. ALL, every single unit, has perfect welds. These are safe and I highly recommend them. To the people saying they are not safe, you simply received a bad run, but as of today 02/18/2014 all 8 individual units I have are perfect and I have been working under them woth peace of mind for the last week. Why not re-order? Every product has a few bad apples. Actually, even if the weld on these were not perfect(they are on mine) unless you went far over the rated weight I just cant see how these could possible fail, they are solid and stable. It's simple, if you do get one with a bad weld just replace it free using Amazon. These are as good as my older 80.00-100.00 units and I will not spend 80.00 on jack stands ever again! I will re-rate these in several months, but I don't see anything changing. For now 5 stars 6, 3 and 2 ton preference: Without question my favorite are the 6 ton, they are so beefy and are always my first choice. They are a bit too tall for the sides of my 2000 Monte Carlo though. If the 6 ton are too tall as they are for my 2000 Monte(on the sides at least) and you are trying to decide between the 2 and 3 ton 100% go for the 3 ton. In my experience, at least for this jack stand line, there is nothing the 3 ton won't fit that the 2 ton will and the difference in build quality is substantial. Since the price difference is only 4.00 pass on the 2 ton, the 3 ton are far better and only 1.5" total taller. I am not sure why they even make a 2 ton, I guess for the people who want to save 4.00, but the diff in price is not worth the durability difference. I suggest to pay the 4.00. Or maybe there are cars where the 1.5" does makes a difference, but any jack I have ever used goes higher than the lowest setting on the 2 and 3 ton jack stands by several inches, even on the sides of a low vehicle. I consider my car very low and the 3 ton work fine. Obviously I prefer the 3 ton over the 2 by a far margin. Only use the 2 ton if you are forced into it they are simply not the value of the 3 ton stands.

I recently started conducting oil changes and other minor repairs on my vehicles, and I soon found out that Jack Stands are simply a must for any work under the vehicle. After some reviews on amazon and a little digging, I found out that a pair of jack stands rated at 3 tons will support 1.5 tons per jack stand. Because of this, I opted to purchase these 6-ton jack stands to add a “factor of safety” to my oil changes and other minor repairs. Although this purchase may have been overkill for my uses, I am very happy I opted to upgrade to the 6 ton jack stands. These are seriously solid quality – after jacking up my 2011 Avalanche, I threw my weight into all sides of the car and the jack stands held SOLID – the car didn’t even flinch. My girlfriend’s midsize SUV didn’t move either (shocking). These are heavy jack stands, and I feel that they will hold up to the test of time. There is plenty of vertical clearance with these jack stands. I was able to easily support my truck to a height which made getting under the vehicle easy. I nearly ran into a problem with my girlfriend’s Nissan Juke – but I was able to fit these comfortably under the Juke at the lowest height. The only thing to take into consideration here is if you have a very low clearance vehicle – these jack stands MAY position the vehicle too high (although I seriously doubt this would be the case). There is one minor installation step on these – You need a hammer and some sort of bar-extension to hammer a small metal tab into the unit to prevent the arm from coming out of the base. It’s a seriously easy step, only took a minute, but it’s important to be aware of this step. Although I went a little overkill with these jack stands, I am very happy with the purchase. An extra $30 now may save me thousands of dollars in hospital bills because of the failure of an inferior product. I cannot comment for professional use, but for the weekend mechanic these are simply a must! Note: I will update this review in three months to comment on the long term durability of the product, along with some pictures to show the jack stands in use.

These 6 ton jacks do the job! I have put my small truck up on all four stands with no creaking or groaning. The main support arm is solid and heavy steel, as well as the frames. Good solid welds on all of the seams and the lock pin is a nice thickness. The finish is also a nice, decent thick paint. I would recommend.

These 6T jacks have a decent build quality and meet my medium duty needs. I did have to play the return game once, as the jacks arrived beat up, bent, and damaged badly where they could not be safely used.

I did some research before purchasing these. Originally considered HF and Husky. If I could find the 6 ton Husky I may have gone with those but ultimately these were a great price and seem like an excellent value. Assembly was easy, they didn’t have any messed up teeth and they adjust easily. I haven’t tested the higher end of the capacity and I don’t plan on it. However they worked fine and I felt safe holding my wife’s Cadillac. Biggest concern I have is I wish the safety pin locked in place.

I recently upgraded to the BIG RED T46002A Torin Steel Jack Stands, and I couldn’t be happier. My previous 3-ton jack stands worked fine for my minivan and sedan, but when I got a larger vehicle like my 4Runner, they were technically strong enough, yet far too short to be practical. These 6-ton jack stands are a game-changer. The added height makes working on taller vehicles effortless, and the steel construction feels incredibly sturdy and reliable. Setup is simple, and they give me total confidence when I’m under the vehicle. If you’re moving up to larger trucks or SUVs, these jack stands are absolutely worth it.

I've been climbing around under cars since 1959 and these jack stands are sweet. One can drop a four wheel drive on these puppies and they're not going flex. Or one can get their sports car up to a "DECENT" working height of a shade under twenty-four inches. It doesn't matter if these have a capacity of six tons each or they're six tons for two of them because they're shipped and you're going use them......as a pair. Our full size F-250, with tool boxes is 8,800 pounds so what do I care if they're not six tons each? They're going be holding up a single corner or side of the vehicle at a time. In the meantime, the spec sheet packaged inside the box the jack stands are packed in, clearly spec these jacks at 6T "each." If you need to be reassured, call the manufacture's customer service line between 8-5 PST @ 1-888-448-6746 and let customer service tell you directly what the truth is regarding any of your questions. On our jack stand copy, I checked the delivered jack stand base welds and found all gusset welds and manufacturing quality control, to be good to excellent manufacturing/welding. I checked out the stamped sheet metal parts and found the stamped sheet metal work to be "excellent." There was nothing in the manufacturing of our jack stands that would seem abnormal (a standout), cheap or inappropriate for a product of this kind. This is not a high end, tech grade, stainless steel, high pressure fitting where each weld is x-ray'd. This is a typical red and black jack stand one uses at home or a shop to support a car, pickup, flatbed or box truck for the purpose of safely making repairs under a jacked up vehicle. Used normally, with safety in mind during proper placement, there's no reason to believe that if you use these jack stands, you won't be able to safely get under a vehicle, make your repairs and get on to the next item on your check list. Overall, I am very pleased with the pair of auto jacks we received and I feel comfortable recommending these beasts to all who find themselves to be mechanically inclined and in need of safely crawling around under their jacked up vehicle.

Strong unit with a safety device to lock in the jack height

ok

Works very well would recommend

Me llego en tiempo y forma, las torres se ven de excelente calidad, superaron mis expectativas, sin duda las recomiendo ampliarte.

Well built and robust. I recommend these jack stands.

Well made, and sturdy. The extra safety pin is a nice touch that may make make you feel a little safer. Don't worry about scratching them; they're industrial tools. I've noticed some complaints about received stands with paint scratches.. Who cares? These are made to save your life, and will get scratched up and dirty over time. Also, the welds are nice, and very clean looking. What is the deal with weird reviewers? They are heavy, and if they have to travel far in their box, they may break free and fall out.
