hey everyone

was looking into getting (topic title) but was unsure how they are quality wise...they all look solid just wanna see if anyone on board got em...if not, if anyone would make any recommendations i would gladly appreciate it!

 

I don't see any reason to bust the bank on jackstands. As long as they're positive locking (they all are these days) and have a capacity higher than what you need, you'll be fine. However, shelling out some extra $$$ for a good jack is worth it.

 

do walmart jacks hold up?

 

buy 2 pairs and try it out. If you can come back and give us another review, they hold up

 

j/k just looking at the weight rating on them...they should

 

Go Join the Craftsman club and they sell the 3 ton floor lift, 2 jack stands, & creeper for $90 every now and than. Thats what I have. ITs a $120+ package deal w/o the club card.

 

Try harbor freight. I got my jack w/ 2pr. 3 ton stands and carrying case all for $57.

The Craftsman 3 ton jack and stands work great on my Evo and Tahoe.

 

I have a Walmat jack and stands and I haven't had a problem with them. Just make sure they are rated for the weight you need.

 

I have a walmart 3ton jack and it works fine. I dont give it enough use to justify going out and buying an expensive one.

 

I also have the walmart specials...no problems here!

 

I just bought their pair of jackstands....good quality...I trust my life on them.

Why do people always think Walmart stuff is crappy?

The reason the items are cheap is they streamlined their inventory system with their supplier to save costs and passes it on to the consumer. I did a massive business school study on Walmart...in fact the jackstands are obviously made by a third party...Craftsman is a SEARS brand...so it's actually made by SEARS...

Not buying the same product from Walmart b/c it's just cheaper is just plain stupid...its like saying I'll never buy Mobil 1 Synth Oil from Walmart and prefer to pay $2 extra a quart at the autoparts store for the same product.... In fact, Walmart probably have the "freshest" Mobil 1 on their shelves...once again due to their inventory system. If you dont' believe me, do your own research on Walmart.

 

not sure if walmart jacks hold up, but i picked up a 3 1/2 ton from Checker for $99. it weighs 120lbs but has never failed on me...

 

I'd be more worried about the one from checker than I would about the one Walmart, no offense bro..

You get what you pay for. I work with craftsman tools and i have never had a problem with their stuff.
