Second. If your jack is dropping with NO LOAD, then that jack needs to be serviced, or thrown out.

Big snaps for using jack stands. top notch....TOP NOTCH!!

Yeah...I have one of those $20 jacks too...but I only use it for positioning suspension pieces and other non-critical applications where I need to support and align something. Your best bet for occasional under-chassis work are ramps.

While I've never dropped a car off a lift (like the Car Talk guys ) I am always super cautious when using mine...
