jack stands labeled and marketed at "3 ton" on each stand. However, the manual and safety instructions Page 2 say: " 3 tons (6,000 lb.)*" with "* evenly distributed across two jack stands." This is potentially catastrophically confusing to the consumer, posing serious safety risks. The stands indicate 3 ton capacity on each stand whereas the instructions appear to state a 3 ton capacity between the two.
