Excellent tip (no pun intended)! The H-W jack stands I bought do have a fairly shallow saddle. MUCH more shallow than the exagerated V that you see on a lot of other makes. They also have nice tabs welded to the bottoms of each of the four corners (feet) which gives them a flatter surface that should distribute load better plus keep them from digging into asphalt. They seem to be very well built. I like them a lot. Here's another question: Two summers ago, I covered my garage floor with this: http://www.bltllc.com/coin_pattern.htm. I went with the coin pattern. It's 0.075" thick. Seems to be pretty sturdy stuff. The floor jack doesn't seem to mind it. Think it would pose a potential problem for jack stands though? My guess is the stands will probably sink into it just a bit, maybe even cut it. I guess we'll see. |
