Is my scissor jack fine or should i get a stand?

How much do you like not having cars fall on you?

Jacks are for raising the car, stands are for suspending it

That depends on what part of me it's falling on, i'd say my lower half can take the hit pretty reliably. Probably not the same story for my head though, all in all, i'd rather not go through the experience.

Alright, fuckin' 5-10 on that mate.
Any specific ones you could recommend? I'd like some real unbreakable shit, i've got the cash.
I'm sure wrenching will be a bit more of a golden experience now, not having to worry about getting my shit crushed.

There's no need to go all fancy pants, just get solid looking stands rated in excess of whatever you intend to use them for

Fair point, just dont want working on my car to be like swimming in a stone ocean, yknow?
Thanks for the help.

No, now shut up. Hell I made a pair back in highschool covered in puddly ass welds. Still works.

Use ramps, if you're doing wheel work, put wood under jack points incase the car falls off the stands

Stands are hard to fuck up, they're as about a basic a mechanism you can get
