Every hydraulic jack I've had has leaked either internally or externally, which really makes their safety a questionable. Years ago I started blocking the floor jacks with a 4x4 so they could not come all the way down. Never liked jack stands and considered them backups for other jacks, unless they are really heavy duty and have large concave tops that are not likely to slip or tip over. Just out of high school I worked in an auto repair shop that did not have any jack stands, they considered them dangerous after having a couple accidents. Everything was lifted with in floor or heavy duty portable lifts with mechanical locks.
