Yes, jack stands do make a difference.
A few years ago I was working under the car; unknown to me the hydralic floor jack collapsed. I got from under the car when I was done and found that only the jack stand was holding up the car.
A year later I found that my jack (new) would collapse after a few seconds.
Subsequently, I bought a good hydraulic floor jack from AC Hydraulic.....and have enjoyed a reliable jack ever since.
And: I have a religion about using jack stands; ALWAYS, AND NO EXCEPTIONS! In the first instance above I would have been hurt or worse; then, where would the planet be?
