I like them. They appear to be safer than the typical

I've never had a problem using jack stands under the frame, and I would
never trust anything that used the wheel to support a vehicle I was
planning on getting underneath.

That having been said, the stands in the video are pretty cool looking,
but I'd still rather stick to jack stands underneath the frame.

Im with Jon.

Ive got 8 jack stands that get regular use and 3 sets of drive up
ramps that are also used regularly.

Course..no concrete floors here. Just hardpan or asphalt (uneven
asphalt)
