This is already being discussed over here. Since it's not a technical issue, Chat is a good place for it.

I just got a pair of the guilty 6 tonners about a week ago. Nice work, HF!





At least my 3 tonners are okay. I have had them a while, and thought they were HF, but nope, they are Torin. Must have gotten them from Pep Boys.

No receipt required.
I used a 25% off when I bought my 6 tons so I'll actually be profiting lol

It says up to March 2020 so I would assume yours have been corrected.

So I actually still have my reciepts.
Took awhile to find them.
So my 3 tons are 69597. Purchased August of 2014.
So I want to confirm the model number on the jack stands themselves
But guessing that these are good to go.

My 6 tons on the other hand are 61197. Purchased in March of 2018.
Now these are still new in the box. And I have my receipt. Paid $69.98 for the 2 sets before tax.
I had a coupon that lowered the price of each set to $34.99.
So I wonder if I can just get my cash back?
Wonder if it is worth it too?
Looks like the originally cost $39.99 for each set.
So I can get an $79.99 gift card?
Then use that and the 20% coupon to buy these:

https://www.harborfreight.com/mercha...nds-62393.html

Which would cost me about $64 for 2 sets.
So would be ahead $16?
All those prices are before tax.
Also these were bought in anticipation of hopefully doing some suspension work.
Which I have no idea when I will get to.
Plus I do have the one set of 5 ton Lincolns.
Do I even need the jack stands?
Can you do the front or rear, not at the same time, with one set of jack stands?

You don't even need receipts, so I'd keep 'em in my pocket.

One set's fine. I think it'd be safer anyway.

When do we start?

Well see if that is the case I have the Lincolns so I really don't need the HF ones.
Since they are new in the box and I have my receipt maybe I could just get my cash back.
Not like I would not spend money at HF but it would take me awhile to spend $80.
And the 20% off coupon really does no good cause it is not like they are not always around.

No, no, no. Wrong assumption. First of all, there is no room for assumption here. Lives are at stake. Secondly, the corrected version will have a different number.

Yesterday there were a couple people returning them at my closest HF. Double checked my emailed receipt, my el-cheapos aren't in the recall.

My assumption was that yours have a different part number, but that's not something I could know.
