Ratchet-Style Automotive Jack Stands (Pair)

This is a pair of heavy-duty, rachet-style automotive jack stands finished in a high-visibility red powder coating. Each stand is constructed with a welded, wide-stance four-leg steel frame for stability and features a high-grade ductile iron ratchet bar for height adjustment. The top saddles are black, contoured to cradle vehicle lift points securely. Notable features include a multi-position ratchet bar with a saw-tooth design and a locking handle mechanism for secure height engagement. Safety labels and warning stickers are visible on one stand, though they show significant wear and peeling. Condition-wise, the stands exhibit a dusty patina typical of garage storage, along with minor surface scratches, scuffs in the red paint, and grease residue on the black iron components. There is no evidence of structural deformation or major oxidation, suggesting they are relatively modern and in functional condition. The craftsmanship reflects mass-produced industrial quality common in the late 20th or early 21st century, designed for DIY automotive maintenance or professional shop use. The wide welded foot pads are a solid quality indicator, providing better weight distribution on various surfaces.
