My question is quite simple: Would you feel safe working under a vehicle that was
supported by either of these jack stands, assuming of course that you stayed
within the 2 ton rating of the device.

I'd feel safe but I'd also feel safe with a jack stand that doesn't cost
$140. If you're worried about the welds I'm surprised you're not looking
at the pins and wondering what their shear strength is. Ultimately
that's what is going to hold the weight up.

I don't need to wonder about the shear strength of the pins because the spec
is given in the video.

You don't worry that the shear strength might not be up to spec? If it's made in Communist
China, I sure would -- I've encountered plenty of "Grade 8" ChiComm bolts that were no
harder than a US-made Grade 2.

I didn't say "I don't need to worry", I said "I don't need to *wonder*"
because "wonder" was what rbowman was "surprised" about.
