I have a 30 year old Heim Werner 2.5T floor jack and Four 3T ratchet stands along with four 6T ratchet stands. I use the 3T stands mostly but when I need extra height, I use the 6T's. I don't understand the nervousness about the 3 ton stands. Someone mentioned "seen too many failures" Where and How? Must be miss-use since one three ton stand is rated at 6000# with a safety factor built in. My 05 Chrysler 300 C is the heaviest car I have at close to 5000# total.
I have never had a close call working under any of my vehicles since my early teens depending on a car jack alone while changing a tire. That lesson taught me to always use the proper lifting tools and rigging.
