[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 1418155, member: 26800"] 1BROWNWRENCH, The following is the dialogue with an engineer at a jack stand manufacture: [B]Integrity: [/B]The multiple warnings to utilize only 1 pair of jack stands was recently discussed and disputed at a safety discussion I was involved in. Your directions are clear but some of the older more experienced mechanics are not convinced that using 2 pair is unsafe. The reasons for the warnings would be very helpful in furthering the discussion. I would like to know why the multiple warnings and what failures and accidents can actually happen as a result of using 2 pair. I thank you in advance and in interest of the safe use of your product. [B]Engineer: [/B]This is part of the national safety standards for jack stands. It applies to all manufacturers. The chance of the load shifting and falling while placing or removing the second set of stands it too great. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=7]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
