Has anyone experienced failure with this type of jackstand? I've used 4
of the split tube type stands for 30 yrs or so w/ no difficulty - my TR4
is on them at the moment w/ the trans/od out. The stands are cheap and
non elegant but seem to function ok - but I'm increasingly interested in
being safe as age advances! What are the facts? brgds, Jay

"Do not under any circumstances buy a cut tube jackstand.  These
are made from a 3" piece of exhaust pipe cut three ways then the metal
bent
outwards to form three legs.  The saddle adjusts by moving a pin."
