Work Stands

[Dr S]

Can anyone recommend a particular work stand. I've got fed up of fixing stuff upside down on a bit of cardboard (its marking my shifters :shock: ) There are loads about and some cost a fortune- some look decidedly crap too!
I want something sturdy that will last and being a Yorkshireman i want to spend about a tenner. What should I be looking for and how much should I be paying? I'm not bothered about blingy stuff just good old fashioned workaday usability.

Cheers
Si

I bought Park tools. Can't remember the model. But is blue :roll: cost £20-30 very happy with it

Park ones are cool. Especially the workshop ones.
Steel base plate can handle owt!

Park Tools here too, blue and folding works for me.

I'm happy I got the model with all QR fittings, I use the adjustable features a lot. Cost me quite a bit more than 30 though.

This Pedros one works fine by me, simple clamp, small storage.

i've got the pedro's one at home, good as gold but i still prefer the one at work that is bolted to the wall, no movement at all, it's a park arm that uses big f*ck off bolts to go into the wall but you need a good wall!

love park, usually the way forward!

Workstand

I've just recently got this one:

Has worked well so far and is a good price (£59.95). Also has quick releases that you could upgrade with anodised bling if you wanted. :roll:

I have had this one now for about 3 years and its still going strong. Comes apart to store and seems very tough, got mine from Halfords for a lot less in one of their sales
