You'll need to look through his stuff to find the newer Quick Release version I think.
Not sure if mine has the rotation problem mentioned by others but it should be easy to put a thin bit of stick stuff between the vertical and horizontal bar.

I've used my Lidl stand almost constantly since I've had it, with no problems with rotation or clamping seat posts.
If any evidence is required for their strength I give you:

this is my beast:
had it yeeears. left it out in the rain, dropped it, kicked it (in frustration), broke a bit of plastic off it somewhere, and it can still hold my mammoth heavy FSR elite.
the head rotates through 360, its a ratchet type system made from thick steel so i can have the bike at stupid angles and it doesnt even flinch.
the clamp is great, leaves enough room for top tube cables to run through un-pinched.
dis-assembles into 3 parts for easy storage.
it weighs the same as jeff capes after a week long binge at an all-you-can-eat lead potato restaurant, but, there isn't anything i haven't done on this (bike related).
i've changed bottom brackets, smacked out sticky fork steerer tubes, assembled whole bikes and is currently about to be setup in my kitchen to build my latest....
got it for a bargain £55 from an now ex-bikehut shop (at half price).
would reccommend it, but not ideal if you plan to set it up and put it away regularly - its heavy and a little bulky. but a beast it is

ive only ever had one work stand so cant comment on others but i went straight in for a used (wrench force ) , great stand and set me back £40 used off ebay, fully adjustable for frame or seat post clamping with angle adjustment, folds down nice for easy storage, and the seller told me they were made by trek ???? not sure if that part is true but still a great stand.
