I'm not sure why people go nuts over grade 8 hardware. If you put a 1000lb motor on the stand (max rated load) and have 4 bolts each one is seeing a 250 lb load. the supplied HF bolts can handle that all day. I guess that since its 'HF junk' we smart 'mericans gotta have grade 8 bolts to show them Chinese how to build an engine stand!

If motors were falling off these stands dues to snapped bolts I'm sure then internet would be full of posts and youtube would have videos show it.
