Pro-Lift T-6906D Double Pin Jack Stand, 6 Ton

a much needed upgrade in my garage. I. have been using jack stands from the late 1970s. One day I lifted my truck and looked under it and thought I need to replace those old jack stands. I googled a lot of jack stands . I finally settled on these pro lift. I looked at the 3 ton bu I thought go big and I won't have to worry. I work sometimes by myself in my garage and the extra extra weight capacity is a blessing. strong , can hold a lot of weight and at a great price. You won't regret it.

I purchased two sets of these 6-ton jack stands to replace Harbor Freight Jack stands that were recalled due to actual failures of the ratchet system. The ratchet/pawl system is essentially the same in almost all similarly designed jack stands, and therefore this potential flaw exists in essentially all of these stands that do not incorporate some kind of secondary safety feature. Most jack stands are not exactly precision manufactured devices. The saddle/head castings being the most questionable components due to primitive sand-cast production methods. These jack stands use cast saddles/heads as well, but I noticed right away the ratchet teeth showed a smoother casting process, and/or the castings are finished with much greater care to ensure the ratchet teeth are consistent and more precise than other jack stands. More importantly, the added pin/lock ensures any sudden weight and/or load shift will not cause a potentially adhered jack stand saddle (the saddle sticking to undercoating on the support point for example) to lift the head high enough to cause a poorly cast ratchet tooth to slip past the pawl and collapse. Another common flaw is the cheap painting process almost always results in the pawl and handle sticking in an unlocked position. Again, these stands demonstrate a higher quality and standard in the coating process, appearing to be powder coated instead of the saddle/ratchet and pawl portions being dipped in what typically would be some kind of enamel or heavy oil pasted paint product - which inevitably leads to excess paint and sticking of the ratchet system. The body of this jack stand is constructed essentially the same as other similar jack stands designs as well, which is rarely an issue related to safety. The welds are more than sufficient and are of good quality. To address some of the downgrades and whining by some of the individuals here: yes, the factory boxes leave a lot to be desired, but damage due to how they were boxed and shipped by Amazon should be critiqued in that area, not here. Most factory boxes are not intended to be primary shipping boxes and won’t hold up, unless the shipping box protects the items. As for the complaints regarding scratches due to this... this isn’t intended for display on your mantle, and if you actually use these for their intended purpose, they should get lots of scratches. Perhaps they will produce a set of polished and chromed ones, shipped in beautiful display cases for those with aesthetic issues, to quell the sniveling. Who knows. But given the number of finish complaints, you would think there is a market for that kind of thing. Me - I use them to support my car when I need to get under it. It’s really not a neat or clean endeavor either. As for the individual who complained the company name was “misleading”... you have no business getting under a car if you don’t know what a jack stand is - and that a sub $60 set clearly won’t provide any “lift”, they just support the weight of the vehicle, like all “jack stands” do. Anyway - back to the product... The added safety features incorporated into these stands would be well worth a price premium... but there really isn’t one. These are competitively priced with less safe offerings on Amazon and elsewhere - so it’s really a no-brained buying these. I bought two sets of both the 3 and the 6 ton versions of this stand.

So, I'm a weekend type of mechanical guy. And like a lot of folks, I returned my recalled stands from the place that lots of people have gotten stands from, and then returned them to. I started searching and settled on these from Pro-LifT. Now, I'm not convinced that a good set of stands *needs* the extra locking pin security, but when the price isn't much more, why not go for it? At worst, even with a good quality set of stands, you might even be protecting yourself, from yourself. I went ahead and got the bigger 6-Ton set this time. Right out the box they honestly seem very nice. I'm not a welding expert, but I could usually tell crap when I see it. Granted, there's a fairly thick coat of paint on them, but the welds all look pretty straight and solid. They also sit square on the ground. The standard locking mechanism seems secure, and the additional locking pin looks very robust and sturdy. Now, if you're use to the standard 3-Tons, these things are definitely bigger. If you have a smaller car, the 6T might not be for you. They just straight up might not fit, or require you to lift your vehicle higher than you want to. But, with the larger size comes a little bit of added security. First, there's a wider base. That's basically self explanatory. The top claw is also wider, same thing. But one thing that I was able to dry on my truck was that I could actually get away with a height that didn't require the stand to be extended, at all. Not that I'm worried about its' being extended, but that's just one part of the equation to throw out, depending on the repair. Honestly, the size is something to consider... But otherwise, I think that these may be the last set of stands that I have to buy for a good while. They should have enough support to more than tackle the average consumer vehicle, and so far at least the quality seems to be high. So, I'm not sure what more I would be looking for.

I take safety seriously, and when it came to finding the perfect jack stand, I had a checklist of criteria that I couldn't compromise on. First and foremost, I needed a jack stand with a double locking mechanism. This was non-negotiable for me because I had heard about the unfortunate incidents involving Harbor Freight jack stand failures. Safety had to be the top priority, and a double locking mechanism provided that extra layer of security and peace of mind. Another crucial factor on my list was the quality of welds on the base of the jack stand. Inadequate welding can lead to structural weaknesses and compromise safety. I didn't want to take any chances, so I looked for jack stands with high-quality welds. This ensured that the stand would be sturdy and dependable, capable of withstanding the weight of my lifted large SUVs and trucks without any concerns. Speaking of lifting large vehicles, the third criterion was the height of the jack stands. Given the size of my vehicles, I needed jack stands that could provide ample clearance. These jack stands fit the bill perfectly by offering the necessary height to work comfortably and safely under my vehicles. I couldn't be happier with my choice of jack stands. They met all my safety requirements with a double locking mechanism, excellent weld quality, and the right height for my needs. These jack stands have given me the confidence to work on my vehicles without any worries, and that's priceless when it comes to ensuring the safety of both myself and my prized vehicles.

I have a set of 4 harbor freight 3 ton jack stands that I've been using for several years without issue; however, in the back of my mind, I always questioned why there was not a security pin included. I've been doing more work on my cars lately, so I finally broke down and bought 4 of the Pro-LifT jack stands. I've included some picture as part of my review (Note: I am just a pleased customer and paid full price for these jack stands). First off, these stands are very sturdy and well made. Without extending the jack stand arm, you will get a base height of roughly 15" and just a little over 23" if you extend it all the way up. I feel much better under the car when using these jack stands with the security pin in place. As you can see from the picture, the security pin engages the arm tooth fully in addition to the ratcheting arm, which is usually the only thing most jack stands have, so there really is no chance of the arm slipping out from the locked position with this double protection. The welds on the stands as well as the fit and finish were very good. The only flaw I could see was on one corner of one of the feet, there were some bubbles in the weld bead. It was still welded very well, so this small defect did not bother me in the least. The jack stands are even when placed on a level surface and have no wobble whatsoever. Overall I'm happy with these stands and I would recommend them. I hope this review is Helpful to someone!

Ordered two sets of the 6 ton jacks after doing a little research on others offered else where. These are heavy and look well made and have good specs. The bad: had to send one set back due to both out of the box didn't sit flat on all four corners, both had a deflection of 1/8". Not using the weight of my vehicle to flatten out the deflection but that's just me. I was able to return them for another set that was good. Four stars since I had to send 1 set back.

Bought 4 of these to replace another set of chinesium jack stands that I had purchased from a seller that's now having issues. I am very happy with these replacements. First off, the retro baby blue and red powder coat is legit. Very cool looking to me. Second, the double lock is a great feature, but maybe not only in the way you think. Because of the way it's designed, the lock pin on these stands does not actually engage the anvil under normal circumstances. This is a feature, not a bug. The fact that it doesn't engage allows for it to be slipped in and out very easily (which is key when you're reaching far under the car to set the stand up with one hand. The pin then serves two functions. First, it blocks the handle from disengaging main paw from the anvil, so there is no way you'll accidentally kick the handle and have the stand fall. Second is functions as a fail-safe. In the event that the anvil or main paw were to break at the tooth, the pin will catch a different tooth and hold the load. Very neat engineering. Quality of the welds on mine are very good, 3 out of the 4 sit perfectly flat out of the box. The 4th only has a slight wobble that will no doubt disappear under load. Overall, I would highly recommend these.

My prior jackstands of the 6 ton variety were recently subject of a recall at Harbour Freights. Searching for new ones I decided I would like the double locking feature provided by these, and some other jackstands. I would like to speak to the products I recieved, as it applies to other reviews I have read. I purchased 2 (4 total stands) and I think I have a good idea of the quality of the product. The welds are good overall. I did notice that one of the welds had visible signs of grinding, but I do not believe it will hurt the integrity of the stand. The double locking pins fit snuggly, perhaps too snug infact. 2 of the 4 stands are difficult to get the pin into the slots, but they WILL go in with enough effort. They engage almost the entire tooth, so overall I think that's a good trade off. I love the double locking feature. 2 of the 4 stands sit VERY flat on the ground, the other two sit flat enough that it's not a problem. None of these stands have a perfect finish. They do have some significant chipping etc. One reviewer concluded that it must be used. They are not used, it appears to me that they have just been lightly tested and that caused some chipping. None of this is a problem, I just wanted to address the review claiming they recieved a used stand. Mine were similar in chipping, but definitely not used. I feel MUCH better about using these stands than I did my HF stands, and much better than i would about any non double locking stands. If you need jack stands i strongly recommend these.

These are the best money can buy! I love the added safety added with the locking pin. I never seen it on other brands and I always felt unsafe using similar products that did not had this feature. This should be a must for all brands. Keep in mind they are pretty high, they won't work with regular sedans. At the lowest level it is still way to tall for a regular car. I have a BMW X6M SUV and just for a simple wheel removal they don't fit under unless I completely remove the red part. So basically I am only using the gray part of the stand. If I want to add the red part as well I need to raise my car another 10cm

Lo devolví, pues las dimensiones no son adecuadas para mí auto, no fue error del producto, yo no revise de manera correcta, pero visualmente parecía satisfactorio.

La caja viene con exceso de precinto, al abrirla y sacar el producto, se aprecia uso y desgaste.

These were the first jack stands I ever got, I purchased 4 so I could lift up my E90 and do some work on it. I have done countless things with these jack stands since then including lots of extensive work on my Chevy Blazer, the stands are currently holding my Dana 60 axle I'm preparing to swap into the blazer. I never have an ounce of worry when going under a vehicle with these jack stands holding it up, they are very sturdy, additionally, they have a lock so in case something does go wrong, they still won't drop the load. I see these jack stands lasting for the foreseeable future as even with 5 years of hard outdoor use, they aren't showing signs of wear or rusting. (disclaimer: they are stored in a garage when not in use)
