Default Jack stand crapped out on me...

Yep...nobody was under the car thank god. Basically, the welds didn't crap out, but the pivot point on the stand took a huge ****. And these were craftsman jack stands. They were the low-budet model though... & about 4 years old.

So I bought some new ones The nicer model of course.

Just wanted to post this...

No. It was fine. I had the jack under the frame, not the "jack point." GOOD THING TOO!!! I've ****ed up my driver side running board by jacking up the car from the jack point. It happened a week or so ago...just seemed like a good post to make.
