Not my jack. Just an image off the internet.

I bought a pair of HF 12 ton stands yesterday. Lowered my XJ onto them and one stand immediately collapsed. Took them back for a refund.
 
With stands like that you are safer working with just the jack in place.
 
Unless it's a HF jack! Their floor jacks scare the snot out of me. I won't own one.

I have a pair of the 12 ton stands, though. Glad the MJ is on a Craftsman set at moment.
