Be careful out there!

So early on, 1967 or so, it was cinder blocks, stamped steel jack stands, bumper jacks and scissor jacks. And then for motor jobs a 2 1/2" pipe rack arrangement and a come-along. Then I was working for a dealer and the Snap On guy says they bought a freight car of Hein-Werner 2 1/4 ton floor jacks. I got one of those and 4 five ton jack stands. And then the local gas station is closing and I bought their motor lift rig, the 1 1/2 ton chain-fall and the OTC diesel engine stand. After that I would carry the floor jack and at least one jack stand. Then to complete the madness it was a succession of 3/4 ton pick-ups and 1 ton vans. After about 30 years the floor jack gave out and not too long after that I bought a new Hein-Werner 2 1/2 ton jack. My current van is a '92 Dodge B350. I carry the floor jack, a jack stand and enough tools to do anything on the side of the road except pull the motor. For the Max I had the 2 1/4 ton jack rebuilt and I carry that, a jack stand AND the tapered axle drum puller! Oh, and in 1989, since I am also a Y-Body guy, Imperials, I bought a 10,000 pound gross trailer. I wasn't going to drag a 6,000 pound car up onto a 7,500 pound gross trailer! And when it comes to my safety I try to by US made tools. There is a discussion on FBBO about that.
