Jack Stand
Whatsapp Order
A jack stand is a mechanical device designed to support and stabilize a raised vehicle, providing a secure and stationary platform for maintenance or repairs. Typically used in conjunction with a hydraulic or mechanical jack, jack stands are placed under the vehicle’s frame or designated lift points to ensure safety by preventing the vehicle from accidentally falling or shifting while elevated. They are an essential tool in automotive maintenance to create a stable and secure working environment for tasks such as changing tires, performing brake repairs, or conducting undercarriage inspections.

CompareJack Stand Uses
- Tire Changes: Jack stands are often used in conjunction with a hydraulic or mechanical jack to lift a vehicle, allowing for the safe removal and replacement of tires.
- Brake Repairs: When working on the brake system, including brake pad replacement or rotor resurfacing, jack stands are used to secure the vehicle at an elevated position.
- Oil Changes: While a jack is used to lift the vehicle, jack stands provide a stable platform for the vehicle to rest securely during an oil change.
- Undercarriage Inspections: Jack stands are essential for providing a stable base when inspecting or working on the undercarriage of a vehicle, such as checking for exhaust system issues, examining the suspension components, or inspecting the transmission.
- Exhaust System Repairs: When repairing or replacing parts of the exhaust system, jack stands help support the vehicle securely, allowing the mechanic to access the exhaust components safely.
- Suspension Work: When conducting repairs or upgrades to the suspension system, including replacing shocks or struts, jack stands provide a stable foundation for the vehicle.
- Transmission Repairs: For tasks involving the transmission, such as fluid changes or repairs, jack stands help ensure the vehicle remains securely lifted.
- Chassis Repairs: Any work that involves the chassis, such as frame repairs or modifications, requires the use of jack stands to maintain a stable and safe working environment.

Safety measures and precautions
- Choose the Right Capacity:
- Select jack stands with a weight capacity that exceeds the weight of the vehicle being lifted. The weight capacity should be clearly marked on the stands.
- Stable Surface:
- Place the jack stands on a firm, level surface. Avoid uneven or sloped ground that could cause the stands to tilt or collapse.
- Proper Lifting Technique:
- Use an appropriate hydraulic or mechanical jack to lift the vehicle, and only use jack stands to support the vehicle once it is raised to the desired height.
- Designated Lifting Points:
- Lift the vehicle using the manufacturer’s designated lifting points. These points are usually indicated in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
- Dual Support:
- Always use at least two jack stands to support the vehicle. Do not rely on a single stand, as this can be unstable and unsafe.
- Adjustment and Locking:
- Ensure that the jack stands are adjusted to the correct height and securely locked in place before working under the vehicle.
- Check Stability:
- Once the vehicle is on the jack stands, give it a gentle shake to check for stability. If there is any wobbling or movement, readjust the stands.
- Emergency Brake and Wheel Chocks:
- Engage the vehicle’s emergency brake and use wheel chocks on the opposite end of the vehicle not lifted to prevent it from rolling.
- Use in Pairs:
- Always use jack stands in pairs, placing them on either side of the vehicle to provide balanced support.
- Avoid Overextension:
- Do not overextend the height of the jack stands. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the maximum height.
- Regular Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the jack stands for any signs of damage, wear, or rust. If a stand appears compromised, replace it before using it again.
- Stay Clear:
- Keep body parts clear from under the vehicle while lowering it onto the jack stands. Stand to the side when releasing the jack.
- Proper Storage:
- Store jack stands in a dry, cool place when not in use, and avoid exposure to corrosive substances.

10 Pcs 1/2″ Impact Socket Set
An impact socket set is a collection of specialized sockets designed for use with impact wrenches or other high-torque tools. These sockets are constructed to withstand the force generated by impact tools, featuring a thicker and more durable build compared to regular sockets. Typically made from tough materials such as chrome molybdenum or other alloys, impact sockets are designed to absorb and distribute the sudden bursts of energy generated by impact wrenches, reducing the risk of breakage or damage. They often have a black oxide or phosphate coating to enhance corrosion resistance. Impact socket sets come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different fastener types and sizes, making them essential for automotive and heavy-duty mechanical applications where high torque and durability are crucial.
