They didn't require any any receipts for any of that. Then they broadened the action even farther, due purely to concerns and not any actual issues with the products. HF didn't screw around, they simply took fast and broad action. I guess my point is this: It was a seriously bad flaw. They took them back without a blink, which was long after the recall was announced.Īnd what statements or actions have happened from the other guys using the exact same factory during that time? ( crickets)

but since I had the ProLift set and then decided to give myself the present of a QuickJack for my 50th b-day, I returned the HF stands for credit toward the Full Bank cart I got (and love). I kept the stands for a long while after - it was handy to have them when I dropped the subframe on my Mini, etc. Comparing the center columns showed me that my HF stands were clearly not part of the bad production run. What's funny was the welds on the HF stands were cleaner than the ProLift stands. When I got them and unboxed them, they were literally identical other than the pin. I immediately bought a well-reviewed set of ProLift stands that had the safety pin (same as you see on the new Daytona stands). What did other companies who used the exact same factory for their jack stands do? ( crickets) And when they saw how worried people were, they opened the recall to any of their jack stands - including old ones that never had any problems.

HF doesn't put production codes on their products that would have allowed them to recall just stands within a certain range, so they took back anything with the part number, which had been used for years.

I'm not saying bad copies didn't exist, I'm saying it was an escape from the factory that lasted a short amount of time. Correct - that's what I mean by 'center column'
