3 Ton Performance Jack Stands, Pair

I have been working on cars for decades. I have had them all from cheap Craftsmans to US Jack brand jack stands. These ESCO jack stands are the best I've had so far! It feels sturdy and stable regardless if they're holding up a Corolla or a Suburban. I trust my life with these jack stands. As others have stated, you need to jack up your car higher than normal with these. I have no problem jacking up the cars higher to get these to fit. If you don't want to do this, I'd suggest purchasing the "Shorty" low-profile version.

After reading some of the negative reviews regarding irregular heights and "bad welds", I reluctantly took a chance and bought 2 pairs of these expensive jack stands. That's a total of 4 jack stands. I checked all 4 for even height by lining them up in a row and using a 4 foot long level. All four were exactly level! I checked them on 2 different height settings. That was nice! One must note that the jack stands have 2 holes in each column, so you have to make sure you put the pin through one of the 2 holes consistently for each stand. Also, I am not a welder, but the welds appeared to be good, and didn't have any gaps in them. These stands with their flat rubber pads are designed to hold up flat surfaces, like truck frames and SUV frames (body on frame vehicles). They are not intended for pinch welds, like unibodies. That will obviously split the rubber pads, like cutting them with a knife. So, the detractors who complain of the pads splitting are probably using them incorrectly on the wrong type of vehicle surface. I would buy these stands again. The precision was consistent on the 4 stands I bought. 5 stars!

I used them to change the oil on my Porsche 987.1 and they worked very well. I put them on the spots on both sides near the rear of the car, behind the transmission mount and the car didn't move at all the whole time. They were very easy to setup and I like the locking pin. The rubber also really helps to keep the car from being damaged. The stands also sat flat so there wasn't any sort of rocking.

Great item

These are built like an absolute tank and I trust them to not collapse on me which is all that really matters with items like this.

I purchased the Low profile #10499 set in 2019 and they have been amazing. Now I needed taller jack stands so I purchased the #10498 set, and I'm disappointed in the quality of the rubber pads. My older Esco jack stand pads feel high quality and squishy, these newer ones are terrible. They feel hard, low quality, and are very hard to install on the jack stand. As you can see from the pictures, the first time I used them all 4 pads split into two pieces. This damaged the factory undercoating on the pinch welds and slightly bent them.The quality of the Jack stand is great, but the only con is the trash rubber pads the come with them.

To start, I was hesitant to purchase the pair because of previous reviews, but I took a chance, plus they were on sale for $100 for the pair.First impressions:Welds, paint, and zinc coating all look great.Chains are definitely long enough for both boles.Holes are all big enough to fit the pins just fine(and not too big either).The main bar is not super loose at the highest setting. I would use it if needs be.All stands are within ~1/16" of height between them (bare stand and with the bar installed in all settings).Use:These have been holding up my project car for a week now without a sweat. The rubber is perfectly intact. No signs of fatigue or wear on the rubber pads (not on pinch welds mind you, just flat frame rails).Absolutely solid, I can really give the car a good shake and it doesn't budge.Overall:I am happy with my purchase, especially for only $100. I did a lot of research on jack stands and wanted something that will work for my cars and my truck, and be the safest. These do it all and will probably be the last jack stands I purchase.

Good quality, would buy again
