[s-cars] Speaking of Cheap Tools - how bad?

[chris chambers]

Actually Bill I had assummed you were safety concious enough to use
jack stands after getting  your car lifted up to height. I was refering
to the fact that the car could come down before you get the jack stands
in place.

I have witnessed, and been informed of too many accidents that
shouldn't have happened. Cheap jacks and jack stands should be
outlawed.

Please make sure that any tool you purchase can't put a person's safety
in danger. An impact wrench failing probably won't put you at risk, a
jack failing can do so very easily.

good luck in your decision making

Chris
