He's "the machine". You can't insult the machine.

Just give in, Brian. You will be assimilated eventually anyway.

I'm tired of the typical stand with a bent up top plate that will dig into the underside body panel if a suitable wood block is not utilized.

I've seen them........once...........somewhere.

Any chance you're thinking of the 3000NFP stands from AC Hydraulics? They're nice, put pricey. The lowest price I've seen yet is $91 each, including shipping.

Lester you need to get some large blocks of wood. Cinder blocks can shatter as you have seen, 8x8 blocks of wood will not.

I have a set of those AC Hydralic jackstands and highly recommend them. In the photo below I've used them to support a 300 TE wagon after I lifted it with the scissors lift. I needed to get to the transmission pan and it was to tight with the lift.
