That's not old school. Plenty of old school cog-type jack stands out there with no pin. That's a newer idea on the cog type. The older jack stands I've seen that use pins are the cheapest stamped steel with the pin being the only thing holding the extension up. The pin in the later cog-type is an extra safety measure. My cog-type have no pins and I never worry. When there is weight on them the handle can not lift and release. It's a great age old design that works as well today as it has all along.
