jack stand
Vehicle lifting support
A jack stand is a metal support used to hold a raised vehicle in place while working underneath it.
After lifting a car with a jack, you place jack stands beneath the frame for safety—jacks can fail, but stands provide stable support.
Never crawl under a car without jack stands in place.
They're adjustable for height and typically used in pairs.
