Anyone got any experience with the planet x workstands;
(Not actually looking for me, was to gift… but only if half decent). Don’t expect it’ll be used for much more than light maintenance.
I think its just a generic type that is sold all over the place; Lidl, Aldi etc.
Does the job OK, but is nothing exceptional, I have one, works fine but needs a surprising amount of room once the legs are spread out.

Yeah it identical to my generic work stand. Very useful for the hobby repairs and assembly.

Yeah I’d agree it take a lot of floor space when opened, best used outside I find.
Also mine comes loose at the bottom and have to “thread” the main pole back into the attachment for the legs occasionally. But it’s never collapsed while a bike is in it or anything serious.

Agree with both @joex & @LordFlasheart
It’s fine. No thrills, does the job
I was also gifted several years ago. Never needed to replace it!

Yes as above its identical to my generic one. Perfectly fine. The rubber protectors on the clamp have a habit of falling off, and the plastic feet are flimsy but its a decent bit of kit for the price.
