Best Quality Bike RepairStand for £30-£60?

[itaa]

Had a look on ebay/amazon, tons of very similar models there, all of them looks like made out of cheese with reviews stating that everything just brakes on them.
I really despise poor quality tools ,so Not entertained by the ''good value for money'' junk Lidl stuff as well.

Is there anything in this budget that is well built and will last & last and provide good ergonomic service?
Would be good if it's semi-foldable so doesn't takes up much space when not in use.
Can you get something like that in this budget?

Lidl do a stand that I find very good for the money. I used one for a year and I preferred it to my old stand for which I paid £99. Unfortunately I had to give it back.

I bought the xtools work stand and find it excellent, it used to hold my cube electric bike no problem and now holds my road bikes perfectly
£64 reduced from £99 and includes a work mat

Not the top of the range but with all the park tool quality. More than happy with mine not the lightest but strong and well made never worried about it tipping when in use.

The Aldi or Lidl ones are more than adequate for the home tinkerer.I have had mine for years and it's never failed.

This. It's sold under other brands, and it's all that most people need.

I got the Aldi one for £24.99 back in May. Pretty bombproof, and not just 'for the money'.
My one small criticism is that the 5-legged base means there's a lot on the floor, but does make it very stable.

Another vote for this one - sold under various brand names, but all the same stand. When I bought my 'BikeTool' one from Ribble the box was actually Branded 'Raleigh'. No need to pay more than £60 -70 although sometimes you see it advertised at a much higher price.

@vickster doing bike repairs??
I have the Lidl one too, perfectly adequate.
After a couple of years the fitting for the top tube clamp broke (the threads in the plastic became worn), I bodged a fix, it still works.
My bikes are really heavy, I think that has something to do with the clamp failure.

I used it a couple of times, it’s now in the shed

This style is the most stable option for the cash.

No clamp to wear out or damage a top tube.

Still got mine that I bought from Decathlon a good 4-5 years ago. It's basically made of scaffold tubing. Think it was £50 back then. Sturdy, heavy, well built. Also doubles as a clothes hanger

I've got the Lidl one (it was on offer at £25).

Held my Ebike project perfectly fine and that is far north of 16kg.
