Thanks for being back and posting. With such a thin “wrench” you could easily remove some of the points on the nut and create a small circular section where the wrench could “spin” fixing the issue when it is all the way down with the wrench trapped in an orientation. Just a thought.

Videos 2 weeks in a row, you're spoiling us Tom. I love the simplicity and versatility of these.

Thanks Tom. Clever design with all the features to certainly be proud of (proud enough to even paint 😂). Love to hear what’s going on in your shop, and I hope you found this short format easier to film and share. It definitely was detailed enough. 👍👍😎👍👍

Just casually making the best functionally and aesthetically pleasing screw jacks ever.. that’s why Tom Lipton is the man

Those stands are beautiful. If I had to make a graph to explain some of the things you make, it would intersect at artist and mad scientist. You have it all thought out when it comes to all things mechanical. I love your content.

If you haven't heard, a lot of the harbor freight jack stands have been recalled. I leave the jack in place in addition to the jack stands, just as a backup.

This is great, as always, Tom, thanks so much! It's always a true pleasure to see something that's so thoughtfully designed in every detail.

Highly appreciate you sharing these designs. Love when people share designs to help the community, Especially something that is so useful.

I made a set for a friend using scaffolding screw legs. My friend loved them.

I haven't been by for a while but it's good to see you still building cool projects. My favorite place is my shop as well. We are blessed to have a space to be creative.

super cool video! I have been looking for stands like yours! I just couldn't visualize them. Nice heavy duty, well thought out, and even cool looking and last forever. I'm glad you are back.

My bride of 60 years walked in here and seeing your video said WWTD. (What Would Tom Do?) When I am able to get into the shop I hear that quite often.

Thanks for the video Tom. It's interesting to see how much force such a device can produce, and great to see you back posting again.

Great build Tom. I always built my own stands back in the day.

Those stands look lovely! Very well thought out and good looking, too. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks Tom, that is a great design. It's good to see you sharing content again!

I really like this style of jack stand. The last time I was at the family farm, I found several very old cast iron ACME screw jack stands. These are the Simplex type that have a collar with holes so you adjust them with a piece of rod. They are a bit tall, but useful none-the-less. I used them to level my trailer and they were perfect for that application. Your design is clean and super-cool as always.

I'm betting you could win the "Project Farm" jackstand test. I bet they'd come in handy for repairing your tanks. Nothing too strong ever broke.

Design=A++. and it looks strong enough to not "broke"! Amazing how much lift you can get with the bearing addition!

Those are super nice jack stands. I wish I had a set for my C8 Corvettes. Only has approximately 4 inches of clearance, but something like this would lift it enough to then place a jack that can lift higher. 👍👍 Thanks Tom. We miss you.

I really enjoy your channel and the things you post. Thanks for sharing!

Creative design and good looking jack stand,Tom.Thank you.

Man, what a beautiful design! Good idea. Keep revealing these gems of utility.

I was thinking of you just this morning, and you showed up! Majik! West Chazy needs more Ox! Really enjoying your return to action 😊

That's really neat, you showed me several thing I wouldn't have thought of, thanks for sharing

Good to see you back in the shop Tom. Those jacks are awesome which cancels having to bring out the hydraulic jack and the jack stands at the same time which is always a chore for me.

Very nice engineering and execution, l use my dad's old 1930's Model A jack as a stand. Like your swivel head, going to change my HF jack stands to include your swivel and threaded fine adjustment. Thanks for sharing 👍

Considering how flimsy some of these things are in the shops, i wouldn't dare buy one and have it fail on me. Rather make it myself - and given that you can buy the acme thread and nut and have bits cut for you and shipped, that's half the project done as far as i'm concerned. At that point, it's a pleasure to do the project. :))

Hi Tom , As always great work and explenation . Good to see you again !😀

Very nice! You have a talent for improving anything you see. I look forward to the next “Tom designed tool”. Thank you.

Glad you’re back!

Glad your back. Keep up the interesting work.

Love the design! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Glad to see you back! It might be nice to turn a groove in the nut so a man could rotate the handle within the height of the nut. May come in handy when clearance is a problem.

Somehow I missed this video. Glad to see you're back. Nice build on the screw jackstands, might copy them when I get tired enough of my 'el cheapo's' . Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

Thanks for sharing. Nice project very useful information.

Looks like some solid, hell for stout jack stands Tom. Well done!

Those are nice. I have 8 screw jack stands I bought at an auction sale. I used them for welding up my new car trailer to keep everything level.

Beautiful work as always, Tom.

Great shop project Tom!

Great to have you back 😊😊

Nice design Tom, well built too👍

You can't buy that nice of a stand anywhere...beautiful job here..really sparked my imagination and may have to copy your style on this one

All I can say is I like it. Glad to see you on a video again. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Happy to see you back, sir. My last two Mondays have be much better. Cheers.

Really nicely designed stands Tom. You only have to look at them to know they're strong. Like the Battle Ship Grey paint. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Nobby

REALLY missed your videos Mr Wizard. So happy to see your back to posting them again. Hope you and your family are doing well, and can't wait to see what you come out with next.

Woo hoo, any video from Ox tool!, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Several years ago I made up a taller light duty version of this with the acme threads. I also had the same issue with the limited adjustability of the stands with pins. I also made the top replaceable so I could swap out between having a roller or a a fixed top.

Great design, I want to make a set now!

I was watching the video thinking, would be great to reset the handle, and then boom!!, you did it. And you could use a long wrench to get more torque as well, nice!!!

Great Stands TOm, threaded jack stands are great for getting a vehicle level!

Nice! These will go on the project list. All that AND a Gordon L quote at the end!

THESE SCREW JACKS LOOK AWESOME BRO..

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Very nice design, I wish I would’ve seen a video of you making them. I am amazed at all. The people would say you should’ve bought them at Harbor Freight. I cannot afford cheap tools.

Thanks for another great video!

Nice design!

@oxtoolco great quote "for future functionality you didn't anticipate"

Wow, I've been 3D-modelling basically the same thing in high school. It was like hundred years old but still very functional.

Very nice design, Thanks

Nice build!

Wow 2 videos in a week. Some nice little ideas there.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

This exactly what I wish someone would make commercially. Ratchet stands work but being able to take up slack without having to over jack and then lower would be great. Need to send one over to project farm for some testing 👍

Nice work Tom

nice screw jack I have some cast iron railroad jacks that are similar those look able to withstand considerably more weight and are not brittle like cast iron..

Thank you for sharing Tom.

Welcome back again!

nice tool, thanks for the lesson

Nice book stand Thanks for the vid

There are several design features that are very neat. However, the most simple one of using the pin diagonally to keep the acme screw from turning, that one takes the cake. And if this is the dog meat you’re serving I’d like to eat at your house tonight.

Very well thought out Thanks

Nicely done. Thanks Tom. Kimber

Nuce seeying you posting New video's ☆☆☆☆☆ We missed you ❤ Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts

Good to see content

Nice stands Tom! how about turning the top of the nuts round so when the screw is all the way down you can still reposition the handle?

With that solid vertical to the ground those suckers are super strong.

0:58 HF….Not to worry Tom, you’re in good company. 👍👍

great video - thank you!

That is impressive.

I like 'em, thanks for showing

Hey Tom, great job but I miss the Monday meatloaf. I hear you are at Area 51 reverse engineering an alien spaceship. Is this why vlogs are so few lately? 😮😂

Harbor Freight Tom? Well they can’t EVEN come remotely close to gloss gray like that Lol 😂 man I love your stuff you are a pro 👍👍

Thank you, Mr. Lipton !

I AM IMPRESSED

Hope your back OX, we've missed your videos

Nice set of jack stands! The only thing I wonder is if those needle bearings are up to the sort of loads this can handle. I seen people put needle bearings on things that will destroy them in short order if the tech. specs are even close to the real failure point. (Fireball Tool I'm looking at you with those needle bearings in your vice). Can't help but wonder if it wouldn't be better to just have a greased hardened washer under the nut and call it a day.

Thanks for sharing g Tom.

What about a little bit of lathe turning on the top end of the bolt to create an OD able to let you reposition the handle?

This is perfect

Nice jack stands, Lift your house!!

Thank you Tom!

Yeah! More videos please 🙂👍🇳🇱

I don’t need one, but the design looks tempting enough to own. Hmm.

Tom maybe next time show us how you made them. good job

Again, the limitation to it's lifting power is directly related to the coarse threads. (as I'm sure you already know). Those coarse threads are good for speed, which I'm sure is what you were going for. If you wanted to add extra lifting power, you could drill down the center of your main shaft and thread it with a really fine threaded bolt and mount your V-block on top of it. That would increase the lifting power by nearly triple; of course it would take 3x as many turns to extend it also- there's always a trade off. Plus it would give you a few more inches of extension taller, being that you have a double telescoping bolt...... Or you could just use a cheater pipe and wrench on it a little harder that way. :)

Nice, I like it. I Want to upgrade the 'normal' jackstands for my caravan to a version like you made. Would you be so kind to tell me the type and diameter of the screw you used. I'm planning to use M20x1.5 Thanks very much.

very good job oxtoolco

Awesome. I would love 4 of these for automotive repair. How tall can they be made? Very expensive looking.
