    Great bump. I saw my neighbor showing his son how to do an oil change using a OEM jack and I started talking to him and offered my jack/jack stands for safety. I wanted to make sure they knew I had it and were safe. He seemed grateful but wouldn't take me up on the offer.

    Sad reminder. I had a wooden block split a few months ago that I was using to distribute the load for my jack stands. Thankfully the stands held beautifully. But this kind of stuff can happen to anyone. Stay vigilant out there.
