A neighbor where I used to live was suffocated beneath his car when the
crappy (cheap) jackstands failed, shortly after the hydraulic valve in his
floor jack failed.
He'd been there a few hours before family members found him.

The jackstands were the $9.95 type from one of the FLAPS. (y'all know what
FLAPS are, right?)
You can recognize these cheap jackstands by the steel stamping process, the
fold over bend in the shank, and the thin gauge steel.

Never use cement blocks either.
A mechanic is measured by the way he keeps his tools you know.
