[Healeys] Harbor Freight jack stand recall

[Bruce Steele]

I pulled the arms out of the bases on the recalled stand (right) and the
not-recalled stand (left).  The difference in the pall depth and contour is,
well, appalling.

If you've not seen this, please take note.  Of the 12 jack stands in my
garage, 4 are the silver 3-ton Harbor Freight stands, and 2 of those are
included in the recall.  Fortunately for me, the 2 recalled stands sat
behind the 2 that were not recalled on the shelf and I've not used them
frequently.  I'm taking all 4 back to my local Harbor Freight.  Not sure
what they'll do with the 2 that have a different part or batch number, but
even with a different number they don't inspire great confidence.
