Firko,I purchased one of the front wheel stands.I reckon it's pretty good.Coudn't make one for $50.At the price reduction the stands are an absolute bargain.Some folk reckon Aldi stuff is junk.I'll be watching to see if they discount the stands at the Eaglehawk store and I'll be buying up if they do.
I agree Lewis, I've currently got my DT1 sitting in one and it seems pretty stable so I'll go over in a little while and pick up another. If the Eaglehawk store isn't discounting why not give the Strathdale or Kangaroo Flats stores a ring and see if they're discounting them? I've had a good run with Aldi stuff. The tools are usually good for cheapies, especially the ratchet spanners. The electric tools are just fine for home use and for the price you can buy three and have spares. My only real failure was the small drill press I bought a few years ago that has bugger all guts.
Here's my DT1 Yamaha sitting in the Aldi front wheel stand. While it's not as stable as a rear wheel or underneath lift type stand but it's still pretty good. I reckon they might be good value on a trailer or in a ute or van
