Telescopic stands mod

[Toolmaker51]

Jack screws; a great idea; easily swapped out when not ideal for work at hand. And friction locks are just for convenience in setting up, especially working alone.

Far as regular tubes go, over time have modded every set I'd use. What ever original spacing put in the sleeve, rotate the tube 90° and drill through same spacing but half a distance higher on the sleeve; on some impractical, lower works too.
Why? Smaller increments of adjustment.
As example. Sometimes I hesitate pulling onto car repair ramps, but want them for better access to chassis. Why jack two extra inches higher when a smaller amount is satisfactory.
