Subject: Re[2]: DML: Floor Jack Question
I can never bring myself to trust jacks or stands.
When I'm under mine i share the load between the
stands AND the jack. What I do is jack it up then
lower it down onto the stands but I put back some
pressure (maybe one or two pumps) on the jack. I
figure if either one gives out the other will still
hold. I strongly advise anyone NOT to work under any
vehicle with just a jack holding it.
