If you're going to use cheap jacks stands of questionable quality, at least put some extra fail-safes in place before crawling under your car. Leave the jack in a location where it can support the vehicle if a stand fails. Chock the wheels. Use stands rated well above what you're supporting or double up on the stands if you have to. It's more to set up and tear down but it sure beats being crushed to death.

I can hardly see how adding additional precautions to ensure you are not crushed by failing jack stands is bad advice. Remember, we're talking about $24 jack stands here. What kind of absolute support can you expect from something made at that price point?

Though I do think Harbor Freight's jacks are fine. I bought one of their Daytona jacks and so far I like it.
