I checked, sure enough they are the ones I've been using for years. they also look like every other jack stands I've seen from Northern tools, Home Depot, etc. I'm sure the same company in china makes all of them.
pawn shop hunting for jack stands this weekend. old stuff that won't break...

Mine are way older than that, so likely unaffected. I don't even think there is a sticker on them anymore.

Yep. Notice that the jack stands recalled are all pretty recent manufacture. labels take a few years to get scraped off with occasional abuse.

| Pretty sure mine have to go back. I may just finish what I need to do with them before I do. They are pretty much a backup anyways and I don’t get underneath what I am working on. |

Wow- not sure how I escaped this recall, I just bought my 3 ton jack stands from HF last year, and they look exactly like the 3 ton stands in the link above, so I was sure they'd be the affected stands but my model # is 62392.
Good thing since I need the jack stands more than I need a HF gift card.

Hay Mark, were they of other MFG's or just HF?
I have many of different mfg... Some have the reliable pin but I sure do like the latch type... Need to check my HF ones...

I'm signed up for the HF spam emails for coupons, etc, but there's no notification on this recall directly from HF in my inbox. This sure seems like a huge oversight by HF to directly contact their customers on this issue.
I'm pretty sure I have the grey jackstands - I need to go check.
Of course if I exchange the jackstands, I'll end up buying more cheap/crappy tools that I don't really need on my way out of the store.

It's also not on their website that I saw. But the stands I bought are on clearance now

Now that is bad that they are even selling them unless they are not the same product...
I too get their email deals.. No notifications.

As I understand it, the current stock is not what is being recalled.
I also have not received any notification from HF, and would not have known about it if not for this thread.
Several years back they had a trailer tire recall that was widely known. Pretty sure I was notified directly by HF about that one.

Me. I store them in my garage, one still has perfectly-fine label.
I have orange 3-ton HF jack stands, maybe 10-15 years old but mine are #P38846.
