...and crap materials, if your chasing that style stand, can highly recommend Ben Am stands, aussie made, tough as nails, (I've had mine since 1991) and great value.

I have on of these stands from Torpedo7, bought it when they had a free shipping deal and found a discount code which saved another 10 bucks, $20 delivered I couldn't care less where it comes from. Having said that, it is doing a splendid job of holding the RM465 up in the living room here.

Me too Adam, I couldn't give a rats as long as it works. I just signed up and got the 10 buck discount on the stand and a set of quality metric T wrenches for $39. This Torpedo7 mob seems to be a great alternative to buying from the USA.

BTW mate, did you get a directive like myself and others did from the morals police over your cutie avatar?

I'm in metal fabrication and that price is amazing.
The gas strut alone would cost me $20 approx, depending on qty of course.
I'm gunna grab 2.
