now I get a ton of junk mail sales flyers every few days and every once in awhile I see something down at harbor freight advertized at a dirt cheap price and against better judgment occasionally I buy something, in a few cases IM impressed with the tools like the 12 ton jack stands,
(I bought 4 for $110 on sale) and after using them for about 15 years or more now, I don,t think theres a better deal to be had on decent jack stands (4 of the 12 ton rated HF jack stands, set at the height of the lower jack stand in the picture below set under a corvettes frame hold a corvette securely at the correct height for using a mechanics creeper )

These super heavy duty jack stands will hold most cars and trucks safely over 2 feet off the ground. Perfect for repair work or storage.
Height: 19-1/2'' to 30-1/8''
Base: 12'' x 12-1/2''
Shipping Weight: 69.50 lbs.
but about a year ago I found my FLUKE digital multi meter was missing, (my kid borrowed it, and forgot to mention that until I asked) so rather than drive 100 miles to south Miami I purchased a temporary replacement meter,( linked below) figuring it would cost less than the gas on a 200 mile round trip to reacquire my FLUKE multi meter
the surprising thing s it works every bit as well as the fluke multi meter does so far , so I have to give it a thumbs up as at least a decent value
