Overkill jack stands

Wow those are some jack stands. I am guessing the 22 ton capacity is what inflates the price.
I am still using the ratchet style jack stands but after reading the recall I am being a bit more careful with them. Had the Caprice jacked up just today and lowered the car onto the stand, left the jack in place and just below touching the frame and slid the tire under the car.
It actually wasn't as much the recall as it was watching the video of the guy showing his failing. Thats troubling.
I agree these are over kill for 99% of people though lol. Maybe just 10 ton?
