All of the posts you have put up talk about how this store or the other has them CHEAPER. A GOOD quality tool isn't cheap. And your NOT going to find them at Auto-Zone or Walmart or HF. You were talking about floor jacks for under 100 bucks. The short floor jack I use was well over $500.00 Made in the US and rated for 4 tons with a 200% safety margin. The cheapest stands I use are 12 ton rated and were 140 bucks for a pair. They weigh over 30 pounds each. http://www.bendpak.com/ http://www.asedeals.com/jack_stands_main.html http://www.ac-hydraulic.com/ http://www.americasprideonline.com/Stands-1-4-.ViewProducts -- Steve W.

Steve W., are you in the auto repair business, and use the equipment on customer's vehicles? In that case, I could see justifying the expense.

Ever seen what happens if a jack fails or a stand collapses? How about while your under the vehicle? The "I can't justify that amount" sounds a LOT like the guys who buy motorcycle helmets and tires based on price. Look at it this way, If your life and the end result of a vehicle coming down and crushing you are destroying parts of the vehicle are cheap then buy low end items. I buy quality tools regardless of use. I also buy a few low end tools for use by others. However those are not tools that will kill you if they fail. -- Steve W.
