I'm out and about and need some quick advice on jack stands. Any particular ones better than the next? Are Harbor Freight stands good enough?

Thanks!

I purchased 2 of the 6 ton ones from HF, just make sure you go for the optional rubber protectors

I use the Torin Double Locking Jack stands. I have both 6 ton and 3 ton stands. Really like having the "Double Locking" feature.
They don't cost much more than the std Jack stands and are available at Northern Tool.
I have not seen the double locking ones at Harbour Freight.
