Hi all

Just wondering if there are any good workstand out there for around £60? Want to start doing some basic maintenance but not sure it will get that much use so don't want to spend to much.

Any help would be great

cheers

They appear to me to be exactly the same workstand, bar the logos.

Another vote for the Bike Tools workstand. Had one for years and still going strong. Very good value for money

If you can stretch to buying a tripod type, like the Ulitmate/Feedback ones, you won't regret it.

I have one now after a Minoura RS5000 (same base as the X-tools one but a better clamp) and a cheaper one before that. Just gave the Minoura away for free...

That style are just too unstable whereas the tripods are rock solid and there are even pictures around of Ultimates holding tandems upside down.

I should have bought an Ultimate in the first place instead of wasting money on inferiour designs 🙁

That draper one doesn't look too "heavy duty" to me.

I got the Park Tools Pro Workstand 4 years ago and till going strong!!
