Is Torin worth buying?
Torin earned a buy verdict on 1 of the 3 Torin products we compared (33%), well below the 50% average across every brand on the site. We would skip 2: Torin Big Red 3 Ton Hydraulic Trolley Jack and Torin BIG RED Jack Stands, 2 Ton (AT42002R).
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.

The Best Jack Stands: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Automotive
Torin BIG RED Double Locking Jack Stands, 2 Ton (T42002A)Runner-up
The cheap ratchet stand done properly: a separate locking pin sits behind the pawl so one failure mode does not become a collapse.
Best for: Compact and midsize car owners doing brake jobs and oil changes on a flat concrete floor.

The Best Floor Jacks: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Automotive
Torin Big Red 3 Ton Hydraulic Trolley Jack
The ubiquitous bargain trolley jack — cheap and fine when it works, but the seal-and-QC lottery is not worth it under a car.
Why we skip it: Owner reports of hydraulic seepage and rams that slowly bleed down under load turn up often enough to matter, and it is the exact failure you do not want in a jack

Torin BIG RED Jack Stands, 2 Ton (AT42002R)
The same stand as the double locking version with the second lock deleted, which is the one part worth paying for.
Why we skip it: The ratchet pawl is the only thing holding the column, and pawl engagement is precisely what failed in the 2020 Harbor Freight recalls.
