I'd like to add : stay away from the cheap jack stands where the center
rod is made of rolled sheet metal. The ones with the cast iron
'Y'-shaped piece are only a few dollars more, and are _much_ more
stable. (I still have a partially collapsed sheet metal stand as a
souvenir.)
HF occasionally has the 3 ton ones on sale for $12/pair (and will ship
internationally). They're a little short for my taste (17" max
extension), but otherwise work quite well.
