Re: Anyone ever used this brand of engine stand ?
That looks decent. I have the cheapo deluxe $30 stand from harbor freight and its a pos. i have my 5.3 v8 on it and i swear every time i turn around the front of the motor is an inch closer to the concrete. Not a very good stand, but you get what you pay for.

Re: Anyone ever used this brand of engine stand ?
I have a harbor freight one, but I don't think its their cheapest. Ive had a 500 CI Caddy engine hanging on it for many years and hasn't move an inch.
The Northern Tools one looks pretty nice, but I don't know if I would pay that much for an engine stand.

Re: Anyone ever used this brand of engine stand ?
I have an el'cheapo stand. I put my 455 on it and it sagged towards the floor. It made me nervous so I kept my engine hoist hooked to it.

Re: Anyone ever used this brand of engine stand ?
i cant deal with the 3 wheel foot crushers. Im borrowing one that looks just like that now and its sturdy. It would need a way longer stick to be able to spin the engine though. Oh and with the splayed out legs it doesnt fit well under an engine hoist to make the swap from hoist to stand.

Re: Anyone ever used this brand of engine stand ?
i had a similar one that i purchased at a swapmeet from a big tool vendor for 40 it worked really well for the price
i cant imagine what a 200 one will do that the cheapo didn't

I've attached the mount to the block,slid the mount into the hole,once attached, lowered the stand/block to the ground with it attached with either the lift or the stand I don't try to push it over a "lip" or bump I put the handle in the open end of the leg and lift it over the lip
