I never liked jack stands, when a car is tipped up, it's hard to find a level place for the stand to rest against. That and the stands got in the way too often. If the stand has a concave top it has a much better chance of staying in place. Never had one with a cupped or concave top so never really trusted them to stay in place. The most sturdy stands I've seen were heavy plywood and 2 x 4 boxes topped with wood blocking used as cribbing under a vehicle. Looked solid, no spindly looking neck on those.
