In 2021, the average cost of car insurance is over $100 per month and the average cost of health insurance is nearly $500 per month, and we all know those costs will continue to rise. These jack stands can be purchased for a little over $50 per stand...a one time fixed cost that will never need to be repeated in your lifetime if you store the stands properly. When viewed as not only a tool but also as insurance, these are incredibly good value for the protection they provide. Having used other cheap jack stands, including some that were recalled and could have killed me, these ESCO jack stands immediately impressed me with their heft, their stability, and the safety features. I also appreciate the height these can safely achieve and make doing work under a vehicle much easier. I do work on BMW and MINI, and these work great with the jacking points on those vehicles. I always push on the vehicles from multiple angles after getting them on jack stands to make certain they are stable, and with these ESCO stands, they are rock solid. I've read some reviews that knock the welds. The welds are certainly not artistic, but the welds are functionally solid. My experience with their customer service was also top tier. They were prompt, polite, and went above and beyond. I am very pleased with the ESCO 10498 jack stands.

Jacks are tall and sturdy they are stable having big feet.

Much better than those quick release style ones that seems to be everywhere. I have 0 concern of them moving or wiggling. I saw another review someone complaining about the size difference between the inner and outer parts. I don't see an issue with this at all. I have two of the flat top and two of the round axel style ones and my Xterra is off the ground with enough room to replace the entire exhaust.

After researching Jack Stand options I found that this type is the best, in my opinion. I've used these only once to change the oil in my Ram 1500, but they were solid and didn't allow any rocking of the truck and performed flawlessly. The welds were very well done, not sloppy or spattered like you will find on other ratcheting stands from China. I have no doubt that these will hold up for many many years ahead.

Very stable and good quality. The lowest setting is pretty high already. Safe above all.

Well did not expect great quality for this price look bigger than I thought it was also and they won't scratch my floors. If you have the plastic floors it won't put big gouges in it

Needed to get my truck up high to work under it. These lifted it over 20” to give access and they are very sturdy

I guess my own fault but too tall even at the smallest setting for me.MiataMustangRidgeline (good for this one)

Came with no packaging, welds even an apprentice wouldn't take responsibility for, and RUST!I ordered one before, and it was nice. However, if I needed some jack stands on the spot, and had some metal lying around, these would be it.Returning as soon as I get home.

I finally found jack stands strong enough to hold my diesel truck. The only thing I dislike are the lock pins, I intend to replace them with a different type.

These are great Jack Stands, and well worth the price. When I received them, they were packaged well and had very clean welds. I put them under my 2 ton car with little to no flex at all, and found they were very good. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good, solid set of jack stands. It does only come with one, so be careful if you're ordering it for your car, because the price does go up quite a bit.

Rock solid support for when you'd really prefer not having your truck fall on you. I've got the ‘quick adjust' stands and they've never inspired excessive trust. These use solid pins that cannot slip. Recently used a pair of these to support the front end of a Nissan Titan while doing a brake job. Rock solid and the ‘shake test' prior to starting work resulted in ZERO rocking of the truck. Confidence inspiring.

It is very sturdy and built well. However, it is made for cars higher than the car I needed to use it on. This is partially my fault in doing my due diligence.

So far these work great to hold the square frame of my ‘65 Shelby Cobra.

Must have for any European car enthusiast that likes to get dirty! I wouldn't trust any other jack stands! I still use wood blocks underneath the wheels as an extra fail-safe for my own peace of mind.

I used for a project on my Tesla Model Y and it worked like a charm.

It works very well. As advertised!

Very well constructed and best jack stands ive owned

I havent used it yet and wish I could have a replacement set of four since by the time I got around to needing to use it I noticed how much play there was in each of these jack stands.

it held up my 2nd gen Acura mdx securely, I felt safer with this design than the ratchet type.
