HF jackstand recall
 

If anyone here uses HF jackstands, an urgent recall is out. About damn time, mine collapsed on me two-ish years ago.

Dang I figured the frame would buckle before the pawl would let loose under weight.

I wonder what other brand names may be associated with that design. Scary stuff and is why I always leave my jack engaged even through stands are in place.

Holy shít! :eek:

I like my little HF 3ton jack stands because the lowest setting is so low (model 38846). But I'm glad to have a couple of nicer sets like the new Esco jack stands I just got last week.

I just went out and checked my jackstands, they're ac delco but they do have that same style pawl system :confused:

The article says the defect was attributed to old (aging) machinery in the factory :twocents:

For clarity, and what jar said, the manufactory tooling wore down to the point that the pawl didn't fully engage.

Typical Hazard-Fraud murder-stands.

I got 2, 12 ton jacks. So, I'm safe..............................I hope.

Thanks for sharing this! I have HF stands but mine are a different model.

Thanks! I have 4 HFs and will ck 1st thing in the morning. I just used them recently too.

Pittsburgh is the proprietary brand for HP right?

Do we return and they replace?

Checked the part number have 2 pairs.

Any recommendations for other brands for replacement?

So far used it with the Z and Corvette it held pretty well.

Take it back and they give you a gift card.

Esco :tiphat:

:iagree:

When the Z broke down left it up on the same jacks for months!

And sometimes I’ll crawl underneath just to take pictures!

Damn I could have ended like a squeezed empanada!

Reason 6,745 for ditching china as a supplier for ANYTHING!! :shakes head:
