ESCO 3 Ton Performance Shorty Low Profile Jack Stands, 1 Pair

These worked pretty well for holding up the front of an old hot rod from under the frame. There aren't many options for jack stands that can go as low as these do. Not the most beautiful welds, but they seem very sturdy. The rubber pad is nice. These would also be nice as intermediate stands when you're jacking up a low profile car to hold it at a ~11" or 12" height first so that you can roll a larger jack under the car to lift it higher than that.

Lifelong user of ratchet style jackstands here. You know the ones - thin stamped steel frame, contrasting color bars, and the knuckle-banger release. The ones made for frame rails and axles that dig into the pavement. Yep. Those ones.Those stands have no place near jacking pads, pinch welds, and unibody rails. They can be wobbly as hell, and has anybody really trusted them when that's the only thing between your wife and a life insurance payout?These, on the other hand, are stable and solid. The large triangulated pads don't dig into pavement, and don't feel like they could tip or bend. The flat pads on top are compatible with unibody rails and jacking pads, and I have used them with pinch weld adapters with no problem at all. Everything is thick steel, braced, welded, and just feels better and more secure.The low profile jacks fit easily under my Challenger, a Chrysler 200S, a Miata, and a Porsche 914. The lower settings were plenty to remove wheels, and the higher settings could get me under for oil changes. These aren't tall enough for trucks or my wife's SUV, but are plenty for basic maintenance on passenger cars.A few other reviews mentioned the play in the main bar and the sleeve with the pin installed. Yep. Does that with nothing on it. And it has to in order to make adjustments easier. But with the weight of a car on them, there is zero play or movement whatsoever. If you're really that worried about it, go buy a pin or bolt the exact size as the hole.Couldn't be happier with these. After only having these a few months, I am already more comfortable under these than I was with the ratchet-style. Yes, they are pricier than other styles, but worth every penny. And let's be honest - is this really where you want to cheap out? Caskets are expensive. These really are not.

I wanted a set of well built jack stands that could accommodate pinch weld adapters. These Esco units deliver. I tried pinch weld support using both the included rubber pads and the suggested pinch weld adapters made by Zozany. I'm very happy with the way they performed. Although neither damaged the pinch weld in any way I just prefer to use the rigid metal adapter at those locations and reserve the rubber pad, which is very tough and well made by the way, for support at the flat lift points further in on the undercarriage. I've included some pics to show the stands in use. The car in the picture is my 2020 Impreza that I lifted at the rear differential for a brake inspection. The jack you can see in the background is not under load. The stands are bearing the full weight. They are also at their lowest setting and these are the short stands. The last pic includes something I wish the manufacturer would have supplied. The dimensions of the jack stand pad so you can order the appropriate size pinch weld adapter. All in all I'm happy with the purchase and will be ordering another pair.

I used these under the reinforced part of the "frame rails" to support the front of the car. It just so happens that I had enough room to fit floor jacks next to the jack stand locations to raise the vehicle using what I call the 2-Jack Method (goated) using the rear axle as a pivot point when raising/lowering (also used the axle stand version of these to support the rear of the car). With all 4 stands at the same height/pin location, the car sat level. I'm a fan of the tripod design which will sit flat on uneven surfaces (within reason) like my cracked concrete floor. The whole setup felt strong and stable.

If you work on cars and you don't want to damage the undercarriage, these are the right Jack stands.

Great jack stands. Very stable. Tall height. Construction is very sturdy. Pin locks in place so it can't come out by mistake. Has two sets of holes so the height is adjustable in small increments.

These are a great option if you're like me and prefer a jack stand that has a very solid, positive stop rather than a ratcheting mechanism. They are a bit fussier to set up I suppose, but knowing that there's practically no way these are going to slip or fail without extreme force is worth it. They get my 4X4 Chevy K10 up in the air safely and with plenty of room to work.The welds are solid, the materials are quality, and the overall design is stable. Bear in mind that these are intended to be placed under an axle. These probably wouldn't be the best choice if you need to support a vehicle some other way. However, if you've got a vehicle with standard, "old-school" axles then these are hard to beat for safety.
