2 tons is 4k pounds. The average full size sedan has a curb weight of 3200-3800lbs. Most people working on a car will use 1 stand to support 1 wheel; not an entire axle. If this is used on a single wheel on the front of a front wheel drive vehicle, it would be supporting ~800-1200lbs, well into the safe zone for a 2 ton stand. If you need bigger, buy bigger. For the average shade tree mechanic, this will work just fine.
Agree. As long as I'm getting charged more money, I know I'm getting a quality jack stand. If they increase the price of these I'll buy em
The ASME PASE jack stand standards say:"Maximum load capacity per matched pair shall not exceed the rated capacity of the individual stand"That means that each individual stand in this set rated at 2-tons should be able to hold 2 tons (4000lbs) by itself.
They do this because you never really know how the weight of the vehicle is going to be distributed between the stands. It might be 50/50 or 75/25 or ???.

Home Depot has 3-ton jackstands with locking pins for under $30 regular price. No need to wait for Harbor Freight coupons or worry about their dodgy quality control (which has already resulted in at least two safety recalls).
Thanks... Had no idea! Tbh tho, the HF Daytona ones I mentioned look better constructed. There's an internal reinforcement bar near the bottom of the legs, apparently. Maybe the metal used in the HF model is thinner and requires the bracing, or maybe it's the same and they're just hedging their bets.

The previous generations of Harbor Freight stands did not fail because of a lack of metal, they failed because Harbor Freight used old worn out molds for the parts and had insufficient quality control to ensure that the pieces engaged properly. They are lucky that nobody got killed due to their cost-cutting measures.

It's true, but I give them credit for stepping up and fixing the problem. Basically any HF jackstand based on the no lock pin design can be traded in at HF for $25 cash or $30 store credit. They could have easily gone cheap and limited that to the recalled part numbers only, or heavily discounted the reimbursement price ($10 let's say). That's what Sears did on the Craftsman radial arm saw recall. Machines that cost hundreds were supposed to be disabled in exchange for a measly $50.
Pretty good deal. Project Farm said these were great.
Alternatively, the off brand "Maasdam" used to be $20 for a pair that were 3 ton capacity that looked very similar to this. Not sure when and if they'll go back down
PF tested the 3-ton Jack stands, not these. But these are probably good.

Right. I exchanged my Pittsburgh stands for the Daytona even though mine hadn't come from bad batches.
The redesigned Daytona stands are excellent with several safety features.

Irrelevant. This is a PAIR!! You ain't holding up a car with a PAIR of stands. Read the thread!!

The HF stands weigh 2 lbs more than the pro lift.

These would maybe fit them?

That was a really dumb response. You would have been much better off staying quiet.

So, you think you're holding the entire car's weight on one or two stands when you just jack up one or two wheels?
