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.

I prefer jack stands, leave the hydraulic jack in place, push on the
bumper to see if anything shifts, and if I'm going to be pulling hard
on large rusted bolts, stack up 6x6 cribbing. And still I've had some
close calls.

Use of a decent 1/2" air rachet/lug buster is indicated.
