transcript reads '14.77%'; almost certainly 14.77 lb with the unit garbled to a percent sign, kept literal and flagged

the lightest of the brands tested up to that point in the video

transcript reads '15.82% 7 lb'; almost certainly a garbled 15.82 lb (heaviest of the brands stated up to that point), kept literal and flagged

transcript reads '15.53% behind the tce'; the weight figure (approximately 15.53 lb) is followed by a garbled, seemingly unrelated fragment ('behind the tce') that does not parse as a coherent sentence; kept literal and flagged as unresolvable caption corruption

transcript reads '15.4.1 lbs' (a double decimal point, a clear caption-split-decimal artifact); almost certainly 15.41 lb, kept literal and flagged

the lightest yet at that point in the video

extremely light at only 4.35 lb

transcript reads '2.42m it', an unresolvable caption corruption; described as by far the heaviest jack stand of the video, but no usable numeric value could be recovered

base pads prevent the jack from sinking into asphalt; counterweighted pawl locks in place; 10.5 by 11.5in base for superior stability

large saddle surface area for better load contact

heavy-duty steel body and collar; locking-pin style (not a ratchet bar) for added safety; full welds for added strength

heavy duty reinforced steel base; double locking mobility pin for extra safety; welded foot pads to disperse the load

large saddles with locating lugs for support; self-lock ratchet stud that prevents the stand from lowering under load

heavy-duty steel base with anti-sink feet for added durability and safety

circular base pads for maximum stability and safety; rated 3 tons per stand or 6 tons for the pair per the owner's manual

ton adjustable performance car and truck jack stand (3 ton per stand); built with high quality cast ductile iron; very compact; manufacturer claims it is 'as steady as a rock'

dual-purpose handle serves as both a carry handle and a saddle-column release; multi-purpose ratchet bar for strength and durability

double lock security system using two pawls to engage two teeth on the load bar

test was stopped early (before full failure) to preserve the stand for further testing

transcript reads '1549 lb'; almost certainly garbled, since the narrator explicitly says this result is 'almost the same as the TCE' (154.32 lb), implying the true value is about 154.9 lb, not 1549; kept literal with this cross-reference flagged

transcript reads '148.9mm'; the 'mm' unit is clearly a caption artifact (should be lb, not millimeters); the vehicle fell off one of the jack stands at this point, and the feet were described as digging badly into the rubber mat

described as still a pretty good performance; this brand's feet lack rubber pads, which held it back somewhat and caused sinking into the mat

described as performing well; foot pads helped prevent sinking into the mat

pads on the feet helped it stay stable on all four legs

the three-leg design held it back a little, though the foot pads did a pretty good job

transcript reads '159.jpg' (an unmistakable caption/OCR corruption where a number appears to have been replaced by an image filename-like string); described as offering the second highest ground clearance of all brands but lacking foot pads; the narrator separately states this brand 'moves into second place' and 'performed very well' at this same garbled '159.jpg' figure, followed immediately by an oddly-placed '3351 lbs' fragment that does not fit this test's expected range and may actually belong to the later two-leg forward tip test (where Husky, Hein Werner, and Larin are said to finish within a pound of each other around 372 lb); none of this could be confidently resolved to real numbers and is flagged rather than guessed

no distinct number stated directly for the TCE in this test; only inferable from the Arcan's own result being described as '15 lb more than the TCE' at 350 lb, implying an inferred TCE value of about 335 lb; this is a derived/inferred figure, not a directly quoted one

described as 15 lb more than the TCE's inferred value; has a longer base than the TCE, which helped

described as good enough to move into the lead over the Arcan; has a lower maximum height than the Arcan, which helped, despite a shorter base

described as moving into the lead over the Big Red; uses a locking pin design rather than a ratchet bar, which the narrator credits for the strong result

ratchet bar leaned toward the front of the vehicle a little during the test with the locking pins in place

the ratchet bar began to lift and lean forward, shifting the center of gravity

moving into the lead; benefits from a longer base; transcript describes this as 'less than a pound less than the Larin' even though 372 is numerically greater than Larin's 371.5, an apparent internal logic inconsistency kept as stated rather than corrected

transcript reads '2978 lb'; following the same apparent extra-digit garble pattern as other brands in these tests, almost certainly about 297.8 lb; described as hurt by not having as long a base as some other brands despite offering the highest lift

roll pin sheared at just over 200 lb; passed

roll pin did not shear until about 268 lb; passed

roll pin held to almost 300 lb, described as 100 lb more than the TCE, before finally giving out with 'a big bang' (bent ratchet bar and four bent legs)

roll pin did not break until over 360 lb, the best yet at that point in testing

roll pin held on for a long time before finally letting go at 340 lb

roll pin broke at 242 lb, about 100 lb less than the Sunex

roll pin held in for quite a long time before finally breaking at just over 300 lb

did not collapse despite quite a bit of upward force applied; uses a different (non-roll-pin) locking mechanism so no comparable numeric force is given

stated as 18 lb less than the TCE

the best yet at that point in testing

before losing balance

no clear individual number given in the transcript for this brand in this specific test; the surrounding sentence only confirms 'the Big Red holds onto the lead' (implying Daytona scored lower than Big Red's 189.5 lb), but no distinct Daytona figure is stated; flagged as a data gap rather than invented

transcript reads '1995.5 lb'; following the same apparent garble pattern seen with the TCE and other brands in this test (an extra/misplaced digit inflating a ~150-200 lb range result), the true value is likely around 199.5 lb; kept literal and flagged, described as moving into the lead when it finally reached the tipping point

both jack stands broke (not merely tipped) at only 95 lb of lateral force; explicitly called out by the narrator as 'definitely the most dangerous jack stands I've ever seen'

before 'dancing around' on the way down, nearly knocking over the camera (camera survived undamaged); this figure is numerically identical to the Esco's stated Test 1 result of 187.5 lb, which may be coincidental or may reflect a transcript duplication; flagged rather than assumed

(transcript caption split the decimal across a line break: "186.65" then "3 lb"; joined as one continuous reading); toppled over at this point, described as finishing behind the Big Red (189.5 lb), with 'several other brands were all within a pound of each other'

handle twisted and the locking mechanism was crushed under load; same type of ratchet-bar failure later seen on the Sunex

one leg began to buckle before the final failure with a bent ratchet bar and four bent legs

ratchet bar assembly began to stretch

ratchet bar and assembly bent and broke, described as the same type of failure seen on the Arcan

described as reaching almost 36,000 lb with a bad popping sound, then continuing ('jumped right back into the fight') to a further failure noted at 32,000 lb when the ratchet bar and assembly began bending and breaking; the two-stage description is kept as stated even though the second figure is lower than the first, rather than assumed to be a single result

ratchet bar assembly broke near the weld

feet began to buckle at almost 37,000 lb, but the ratchet bar itself did not give up; legs finally buckled at over 47,500 lb, the highest failure load of any brand in the video
