Review on Torin Steel Rotating Engine Stand: BIG RED T26801, 360 Degree Head, Foldable Frame, 3/4 Ton, Red - 1,500 lb Capacity by Ron Damndjperiod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy and by far the best value for money

Arguably the best stand your money can buy. Much worse seen much more. It is very durable and if I had to complain it would be about 3 things. First I changed all the low quality bolts to grade 8 for motor mounts and 10.9 for metric parts. I'm not betting £750 on class 4.4 hardware. Second, the foldable design has tabs that prevent a plastic drip tray from fitting properly, so I think I'll just cut it off as I don't plan on folding it anyway. Third, the spacers attached to the engine are also very short, so there is no way to install a flexplate or flywheel while the engine is on the workbench. I know the minor criticisms, but we Americans are spoiled, aren't we? I dare say this is the best stand you can buy for under $100. Well, $130 if you replace the hardware, but that's optional.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Clarity
