Workstand advice

I'm in the market for a new one. Was going to spend more but this one is on offer at planet x. Worth a punt?

My current one is massive when folded and weighs a ton, and I need to save space as losing my garage.

Thats the same as the aldi ones - mines been outside for years with no problems

Re:

What is it like to use? Clamp good? Adjustability etc? How small does it fold?

It is probably hands down better than mine but as I have one already I want to be sure that it works as well and folds away smaller.

Thanks for replying btw.

Its cheap, its cheerful but dont expect pro bike shop quality - I added an extra bolt to keep it secure.

Re:

I was originally looking at this one until the above was on offer. Worth the price difference?

these are excellent - difficult to pick up but really good, and fold to a small thing in a moment.

Re:

Thanks, looking to get something ASAP, not got time to play the long game.

Its a wrench to replace my current one, it has strong sentimental value as it was a gift from my late mum, so if I replace it, needs to be worthy.
