Ideally it would take a minute-or-so to give my bike a basic clean after a ride - every second counts!

I have this slightly obsessive thing. I maintain that any picture of a busy workshop or garage will always contain a Castrol product. You didn’t disappoint!

Once you have a stand you won't go back.. great and save bending over.
I have had one of these for years. Does the job well.

I bought a workstand from planet X because it was a good deal and it came with a torque wrench.
Now, I lost the torque wrench, probably I put it in a box and thrown away in a clear-out, and the planet X stand is very mediocre and not sturdy at all.
So yeah, I wasted my money big time

And how are you getting on with it?

I have that one too, but when I bought it, it was $10 less expensive in 20016 ($89)
what's good:
- portable & not crazy heavy
- easily adjustable
what's bad
- only has 2 legs so it is possible to knock it over
review
- I would recommend it. I really like being able to work outside on nice days (just don't get oil on the patio pavers!)

Wow @rockyroller that is some back garden! The perfect bail out when repairs are getting too much, I can just see you "headed up the holler with everything you had". Possibly with a hun'red pounds o' yeast and some copper line.

don't know the references but I get the "jist-of-it". so thank you! & yes like Robin Hood, I can take a deer or turkey if the fridge is empty. actually, up to the tree line is our condo common area. meaning I only own 1/90th of it. but we are lucky to have an end unit, w/ a level lawn on our side of the building. the forest you see is town land with a water tower. so we don't expect any development. there is a hiking trail which leads to our town center, that Wifey & neighbors often take. I've harvested downed trees for firewood for our modest fireplace. we're very happy here even if Wifey wants a house of her own. here's a walk out back in a snow storm last winterWow @rockyroller that is some back garden!

Apologies Rocky, maybe a bit obscure. It's from the lyrics to "Copperhead Road" where one of the protagonists takes to a hollow in the backwoods to evade the revenue man and make himself some moonshine. Your woods beyond the bike stand seemed well suited!
Nice to have that out the back.
