I have ones that look like the red ones that I think I got from Amazon. I'd assume they came from the same factory.

Their jack stands may suck but 2 of their 20 ton jacks easily lifted part of a house for me.
My jack stands held up that house when I was doing foundation work. The weight of the house pushed the jack stand into the dirt and it was sitting on layers of 5/8 plywood.
Got them from the scrap yard and they were maked like they came from the air force base.

I'm wondering what the failure point is? If it's the welds, I should be able to inspect. If it's the casting, I dunno.

The cam lock thingy is shaped wrong and the telescoping part is collapsing.
