This is incredibly dangerous. Jackstands are already incredibly affordable and have many safety features that your homemade version lacks. I hope nobody else tries this
Many jackstands still use this principle, many security features are just to sell it for highest price. Do you realize some bricks are good enough to lift a car for days, weeks or months... Or years? Do you realize a brick is ridiculous weak compared to this jackstand?
Highest price? you can literally buy a pair of 2-ton stands for under $15 on amazon. thats less than $7.50 per stand and unless you have this guys exact supplies lying around in your shop you can't buy the supplies and consumables to build one for that price. ive never seen a brick tip over due to a bad stick weld and lack of triangulation, nor collapse because of an old bolt used as a pin. all of the weight applied to this jackstand is relying on the shear strength of that bolt. I would honestly much rather use a thick block of wood than a homemade jackstand like this but go right ahead, build one of these things, and put your life in your hands because you wanted to save $7.50
Jack stands that go on frame not the side of the body steel, only in Canada pity, go to princess auto or Canadian tire and buy a set. Maybe a safer idea , god bless Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oh, okay, I get it. someone (not a mechanic) with a lot of money to scrapped, when out and got a ton of tools. Nothing else to do on the weekends decided to manufacture something that looks like a car jack stand for personal use. Doing so, refused to pay a few bucks for a pair of jack sands. Bravo.
I like the piece of angle iron at the top. Good looking welds. This stand took me back to the late '50's and early '60's. I remember seeing these in garages where my parents took their cars, and in wrecking yards for ease in parts removal. I think gussets would be an excellent idea. For all those people who think that only "store bought" is safe. I had a set of jack stands that was widely sold in stores collapse that was holding up the front of a '72 Peugeot, and the car did not have an engine! You guys don't understand that you can buy material like this at a scrap or used metal yard for a lot less than new. I'd rather have a set of well made, home made stands than a crappy pair from a store. This could use some beefing up, but it is a good idea.
While I like the idea of making jack stands, I don't know how strong that single bolt is which is supporting the car. It may be fine for rotating tires, I am not too sure if I would crawl under the car to do an oil or transmission fluid change with the car being supported by a bolt.
I hope that long bolt can hold the weight of the car without shearing, I would use a bit wider diameter bolt just to be sure as thinner bolt could snap.
I hope not too many impressionable people watch this, because as they say: "A little knowledge is dangerous", and this kind of unskilled work should not be copied under any circumstances.
I wonder if the critics could make these ( I could) . Sure You could buy a set for 20.00 but This man made his own. It probably made him feel good doing so. they look fine and his welds look strong. Such heavy gage steel, Ii would climb under that car. When this man dies , if He has sons they will keep these and always know that " my Dad made these with his own wonderful hands"
Not only is this video NOT a "WOW!" but it is a waste of time. It's nothing more than a jack-stand. A simple everyday jack-stand that is available in most if not all auto parts stores.
i dont understand how this is an "awesome ideas for CAR" you literally made something that is already available, and more easily available, and more reliable in stores, for probably more expensive (including time) mainly because most people dont have the size of pipe, or angle iron sitting in there backyard, as well as a welder... just food for thought i guess
Enjoy learning from your ideas, but how about the title naming what you are building, as well showing what it is you are making at the beginning of the video?
Just my cents worth, that's a stainless allen screw (also known as a cap bolt). Looks like a 6 mm (1/4"). If so, it has tensile shear strength of 24.000 IN, which is rough;y equal to 6.000 lbs. I think its strong enough.
It is decently welded and the V marries up to the part of the sill designed to take the jack in the tool kit so could be worse. Might be worth screwing a nut onto the pin for peace of mind. I used a pal's stands the other day. Three legged. Better than my own a they can always be made to sit steadily if the floor isn't totally smooth.
I'm with you mate. They are perfect. If people think they are dangerous, then they should learn how to use them . Nowadays the yuppies wouldn't know how to make anything anyway, too scared to get their little hands dirty. If you've got scrap steel, tools etc, why buy something? Nothing like making your own stuff using your own hands, I've been doing that for decades. Good on you.
What? new invention ??? under which stone have you lived? This thing has been around since the last century but then a model that has three legs. and is safe to use.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? Spend the $25 at Harborfreight for a PAIR of stands. Someone has too much free time and spare metal. This is so incredibly ridiculous.
What are you doing??? no safety testing of metal or welds, propping a car up on the sills???? jesus man you haven't got a clue have you!!! probably best you take this down before anyone goes copying this idiocy. BAD IDEA!!!!!
I would never crawl under my car supported by your home made jack stand.
that creature would crush the rocker panel on most of today's cars
This is incredibly dangerous. Jackstands are already incredibly affordable and have many safety features that your homemade version lacks. I hope nobody else tries this
Jake,I agree..the jack stand high risk to collapse...i hope there is heavy limit to use this stand.
Many jackstands still use this principle, many security features are just to sell it for highest price.

I can do it for less than $5 each.
my life is worth more than $2.50. Im sure yours is too.
Muy buen proyecto!! Simplemente efectivo!! Felicitaciones
NEVER put axel stands on to the sills, on old cars they can go straight through the sill if it is a bit rusty!
Andrew Thefarmer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Clues in the name "axel stands" 😂
Andrew Thefarmer n
Bubba forgot to tell forest that one, y'all
Kudos to the guy doing the work for the homemade soft jaws !
We have those in Canada we call them jack stands
true fact and tehy are cheap to buy and have self lock for when you bring them up instead of a pin you need to move
Jack stands that go on frame not the side of the body steel, only in Canada pity, go to princess auto or Canadian tire and buy a set. Maybe a safer idea , god bless Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Cool project.... sometimes its more about the satisfaction you get from making something rather than buying it....
So you’ve made an axle stand?! A set of two costs about £20
mbeat28 did you see it contacting the axel?????????¿
james jackson just because they are called axle stands does not mean it is their only function
Jackstands in the U.S.

Amazing idea and work, makes a good strong axle stand.
its nota awesome IDEAS. .... are only one.

Veramente un gran bel lavoro.... Alto artigianato.
I hope that long bolt can hold the weight of the car without shearing, I would use a bit wider diameter bolt just to be sure as thinner bolt could snap.
You did a good job. Just make sure that bolt is a grade 8 bolt though. Wouldn’t want that to brake and hurt you.
I'm impressed he made scrap awsome
Nice weld and I get could have got a stand with the new jack but it's fun to make your own gear.
Beautiful work!! Saludos desde Argentina!

Too many critics I think you did a fine job you have a nice Base I would use that
Ficou bacana!👏👏👏👏
The lift point for the jack is approved for support that is all on the body.
Nice idea Sr.
Excelént, very good
its handy having a car stand but i usually put the spare wheel under side of car when taking wheel off and vice versa .
WoW ...,.. it's called a jackstand .
you invented something that has been around for over a century.
good job on making it. great craftsmanship. but u can buy two car jack stands at menards for 20$
Not only is this video NOT a "WOW!" but it is a waste of time. It's nothing more than a jack-stand. A simple everyday jack-stand that is available in most if not all auto parts stores.
Muy linda la soldadura
That's a lot heavier duty than the junk China made jack stands you get at the store. Nice job. Nice welding.
Nice welding

Very nice idea.
That design is ok but you to have a bigger bolt and wider base plate. also no support for the vertical tubing..
Enjoy learning from your ideas, but how about the title naming what you are building, as well showing what it is you are making at the beginning of the video?
rennybarr then no one watches this boring thing. These are like 15 bucks at harbor freight.
needs gussets unless you like to live on the dangerous side.

nice to watch
Wow!!!!! 40$ worth of material for a twelve dollar item. I'm not a math major but the numbers don't make sense.
Really?
A super dangerous Jack stand without any gussets for support?
I want my 5 minutes back
Привет ! а какими электродами варите ? шов красивый !
Jolies soudures ! Nice job
I wouldn't get under a car with those things to change the oil . Changing a tire with those is risky .
Genial !!! Buena idea... Por cierto cómo se llama la música??
use big material for sure
De qué altura son ?
Bom demais! Muito prático gostei.
There are millions of this "AWESOME IDEA" in any car store, costs only €5/ pair.
I hope for your sake that's a high tensile bolt mate... it should have 8.8 on it if it is
8.8 is standard, I havent seen anything weaker but chinesium. 12.9 would be probably slicing into the tube
anderson silva dont act like you know something..
axtra92 ahh ok lol .... That's how people die... ffs
Mihkel Laansoo in Australia 8.8 indicates high tensile anything without it could be anything
Just my cents worth, that's a stainless allen screw (also known as a cap bolt). Looks like a 6 mm (1/4"). If so, it has tensile shear strength of 24.000 IN, which is rough;y equal to 6.000 lbs. I think its strong enough.
Axle stands have been around for quite some time, so no WOW! there.
You could just have several pieces of 2x4 that you stack to different heights to have an equivalent jack stand...............
Why spend time and waste money making something that is potentially lethal?
Jack stands are readily available, inexpensive and certified safe.
Should be under frame or axle, not body. It also needs at least three gussets.
nice idea but please use suitable material
Coming soon, my awesome fabulous, dramatic, incredible re-invention of The Wheel !
Pipe cutter/hack saw/band saw? snag that grinding wheel and your gonna have a face full of shrapnel.
5 mins of my life I will never get back.
WOW an axle stand .
It is decently welded and the V marries up to the part of the sill designed to take the jack in the tool kit so could be worse. Might be worth screwing a nut onto the pin for peace of mind. I used a pal's stands the other day. Three legged. Better than my own a they can always be made to sit steadily if the floor isn't totally smooth.
Very nice
Can you make now a gadget that removes crushed workmen from under my car?
I just purchased a flat screen TV!
Nicely done bro...
Nothing like making your own stuuf👍
Nice welding job, I take it you’ve done a lot of welding 👍
ashy1423, and when the cheap bolt shears, you can make your own ambulance to take you to the hospital.
PARABENIZO !!!
===================
😂😂😂i was like🤔 ?😗?😮?😯?😦?😵🙄😆🤙narly bro cool job doe.😋silly jack stand 😂👍✌
FANTASTIC IDEA bro :D

Seriously ?? You can buy Craftsman 2-1/4 ton ratcheting Jack Stands, 2 pk. $15.99 . This is nothing more than a waste of time and material.
Send me video
I only saw up to 2:36 then went legally blind.
That is a awesome idea with the papper never saw it before
i only use breeze blocks makes my staff work faster under car
For $25 you could by 2 jack stands and a trolley jack kit from supercheap auto and if anything happens its on them
$24 USD at Harbor Freight or $34 CDN at Princess Auto will buy a pair with more safety and no time wasted.
What? new invention ??? under which stone have you lived? This thing has been around since the last century but then a model that has three legs. and is safe to use.
Parabéns
...WOW, OKAY!!!
Jacking point can end up pretty suspect: I use em as little as possible. Putting thatVee on the sill next to it is even dodgier
I believe somebody invented a long time ago... It's called a jack stand
super puper 💪
ARE YOU SERIOUS? Spend the $25 at Harborfreight for a PAIR of stands.
Someone has too much free time and spare metal. This is so incredibly ridiculous.
Awesome
good job man 👍🏻
Fox TV
thinx for you me Daer 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wish i could see how you weld that completelely. Great welder
What are you doing??? no safety testing of metal or welds, propping a car up on the sills???? jesus man you haven't got a clue have you!!! probably best you take this down before anyone goes copying this idiocy. BAD IDEA!!!!!
Good👍👍👍
Isn’t it easier to go buy a pair of axle stands for a tenner?!
Вау. Круто.
U can make inner tie rod tool by pipe
Los guantes amigo ojo- no olvidar la seguridad ante todo
Belo trabalho muito bom
WTF ??? Are you fucking serious? Title= AWESOME CAR DEATH TRAP !!!!
The support is incorrect. The plate and tube welding is not strong enough. 3 pieces of triangular plate are required...
nice job great idea
You accidentally let that down on the rocker and you got a major $$ dent !
Nothing is worse instead he installed jack stand on wrong place!
The car Jack is unsafe to use for the vehicle as a stand
Funny
