Unfortunately, I can't post pictures for jack stands.

These warnings are already stated in the car owner's manual and the jack's instruction manual or on the jack body itself.

Unfortunately most people, don't read anymore.

Jack stands:

btw,
i always have a pair of wooden wedges in my rear trunk. it's always good practice to use them against the car's un-jacked tire, to help prevent the car from moving when jacked up during roadside flat tire fix.

Dr. D, that's what a working parking brakes are for. 😁, But you can never be too safe. As per Murphy's law.

i am a strong believer in murphy's law.
...personal experience, many times already.

and yes, it's hard to rely on the rear parking brakes, when the flat tire is at the rear... which is the usual.
sabi sakin ng isang nakaka-alam, the front tire causes the nail to stand up, and the rear tire gets it in.

Same here, I don't rely too much to handbrakes. Back then, my mother parked our L300 and pulled the handbrake and went out of the vehicle and closed the door. Suddenly, the van slowly moved backward and gained momentum and went straight out across the road and hit the store in front of our house.

My father who also parked his ... and a friend of mine ... and the friend of my friend ...

Well, too numerous occasions about handbrake failures. Question is, do I have a pair of wooden wedges? No, I don't have and I'd like to look for one.

Not only in this situation but also when you have your tire vulcanized at a road side shop, iiwanan nilang naka jack lang yan, while they patch your tire, pag nag fail yung jack, can you imagine the damage?

tapos walang pambayad ang mga yun

You can buy anti-slip tire chocks/blocks online like in Lazada.

Thank you. It would be great if you can post the link so that others who might be interested can also take a look.

Before every registration, the vehicle should go to vehicle safety and emissions test( idealistic) but most of the time this is violated. As a responsible vehicle owner, it is your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is compliant, otherwise, kamot ulo when the unfortunate event happens. The parking brake must work not only for compliance but for your own safety.

I never thought about that possibility. So what is your suggestion if ever you need to have your tire patched?
