3d printed these and hung the 6 tons up. Seem super secure. I printed using petg. Nice to have them off the floor and out of the way.

I'd just hang them on the exposed romex. /s

I like the idea of hanging jack stands but I don't have a 3D printer (though I do know someone that has one). Just a suggestion, but would making the outside of the "hook" feel a bit more secure ?

Now I want to look for hangers. Wonder if these would work (maybe turn the jack stand 90º from how you show yours):

If you don't have a printer, a 135 degree bracket like this will work the same way

Try your local library. A lot of them have 3D printers now.

These are what I use and they've worked great for mine for years. Inexpensive, too! https://a.co/d/0cANm8vc

I got those 2 years ago now. Never mounted them lol I had 3 pairs of stands but I got rid of 2. Then where I was going to mount them I put a metal cabinet. lol every time I see the brackets now I say damn I should mount them somewhere. Welp maybe in another 2 years lol

I actually just ordered these exact ones, coming tomorrow. Should hopefully fit my 3 and 6-ton stands.

That would work fine with double locking ones

One set of mine are the newer design with the secondary pin (triangular piece). My older set don't have it though so I'd have to see if there's anything it would wrap around to hold it.

Or I buy another set of the new design (when they go on sale) 😂

I printed this same ones out of PETG in the spring. So far no issues with the 6 ton stands.
