Fair enough:
Google "First-class engine stand"
CM Products Inc - Ultimate Engine Stand
$480 get you one fancy-dammit engine stand.
Google "made in USA Engine Stand"
1,000 Lbs. Engine Stand - Made in USA - NORCO Industries
Find it here for $308:
Norco 78100 1000 lb Capacity Engine Stand
Still fully a third cheaper than anything you didn't bother actually looking for, and that was only two minutes on Google. Give me ten minutes, I can probably get closer to half price.
You want me to get your groceries, too? ;-)
FWIW, that HF 1000lb stand looks an
awful lot like they copied the Norco
1000 lb. Capacity Engine Stand
Me? I think I'll be buying the double-roller bearing fancy pants model next. My $2000+ motors aren't deserving of cheap Chinese gravity defiance, nor are my toes. If I decide not to use my USA-made welder and some USA-made, Union Manufactured steel to whip one up, here in Missouri, USA, that is.
