Too Afraid to Ask

Jack stands are tools that hold a car up safely after you lift it with a jack, so you can work underneath without worrying about it falling.

Technical Definition

Jack stands are safety devices used to support a vehicle after it has been lifted by a jack. They provide stability and prevent the vehicle from falling while work is being done underneath it.
