Work stands

Mickyg88

I've been reading the reviews on here but all the work stands seem a trifle expensive for me, I'm looking to spend no more than £80, saw a reasonable one on Merlin but out of stock, any recommendations around my budget would be appreciated, never bought one before so not much idea really as to what I'm looking for, other than one with a seat post clamp, don't want to clamp the frame.

Hi, it's not quite a Park Tools item but I bought this a few weeks ago and it's doing just fine.

I just took delivery of the same one off Amazon, seems totally fit for purpose and about 30 quid cheaper than anything I could find on cycling specific web shops. Similar prices on eBay, but no reviews to go on so felt a safer bet on Amazon.

There's been a few threads on this already but that Amazon one looks identical to one Lidl sometimes sell for £30. I've got one and it's great (although I've not used any other for comparison).

I've got the same stand, off Ebay for about the same price as Amazon. Does the job well.

If you can find one of the Lidl ones @ £30 they are a bargain.

Not usually a Lidl fan on quality alone but their work stands are an exception.

I'm an Amazon man as well, haven't used it yet, but it's hefty and seems well made.

I'll vouch for these too, other people are selling the same one... my brother bought one as well after seeing it for two minutes, its great.

I've just got one of these, seems fairly robust and easy enough to use. I've not used any others to compare against, but for the money I'm happy:
