Great Stand: Garage & Shop

This is a really good stand! I have LM7 5.3l, no problems. It is very durable and easy to move. I was hesitant based on other reviews but the welds are all solid, the wheels are solid and the parts are straight. The folding option is great for storage when you don't have a motor. I almost thought there weren't any plastic plugs in the kit, but they were hidden in one of the tubes. The only reason I found them was the hose was rattling and when I shook it one came out and then I saw the other was stuck. The paintwork was acceptable, there were a few lightly worn parts but I would expect it to wear off with normal use. The paint feels thick and strong so I don't see any major issues like rusting or chipping. It is interesting to note that some of the tubes contained a lot of sand. I don't know if it was the result of sandblasting or something, but they sounded like a rain stick when I moved them. I took them outside and threw them away and now everything is fine. There is a list of bolts with matching numbers and the instructions say something like "bolt 7 nut 19" but there is no bolt identification chart and all the bolts and nuts are thrown in a bag and there is no easy way of knowing which bolt it has really a number. There was a bit of trial and error due to this, but overall it's easy to understand.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
