Proper support while you are under the car is extremely important!!!

When I was in high school, I knew this older gentleman that had two of the same interests that I had. He played with guitars and cars. I had guitar lessons from this guy and he was a mechanic at the local garage. He was like a second father figure for me. You can imagine how devastated I was when I learned that he was crushed under a car that wasn't supported properly. It only took a second and his life was gone. I hurt for a long time after that.

I'm sure my son gets upset at me when I yell at him to get out from under a car that isn't supported. I too require very good quality jack stands ALONG with keeping the jack in place in the event that a Jack stand lets go (as jack stands CAN fail too). After years of nagging, he is pretty consistent in using them now. I've told him many times of my old friend and the sad story that happened. At first he just rolled his eye's, but I explained that I'm NOT going to bury you. Dad's need to pass on before their children.

Safety, isn't a second thought.... It's a priority!!
