Performance Tool W41025 Rotating Vehicle Engine Block Stand, 1/2 Ton (1,000 lbs) Capacity

This is exactly what I needed and it worked out perfectly.

Overall its a solid stand, mine came with very beat up packaging but the stand was not banged up noticeably. I like the solid wheels and having 2 wheels in the front. It will also come apart with easy for storage.As mentioned in other reviews, it could be very challenging to mount the front wheels. Install these first for sure so you can have that bar to move around. I loosely installed the outer 2 bolts first on each wheel and then I simply used a telescoping magnet to hold the lock washer and nut and turned the bolt on the outside. Once the nut grabbed the lock washer, I didn't need any tool inside the beam to hold the nut, I was able to tighten it down completely from the outside. Overall took about 15 minutes to assemble at a relaxed pace.It does have a bit of a wobble in the middle while not loaded but its bluntly obvious it won't come apart or anything under weight as long as you tightened down the bottom bolt.

I purchased this to do some work on a 2001 Civic LX with D17A1 engine. This is the first engine stand I've owned, so I don't have anything to compare it to. The engine stands that are available for prime shipping are pretty limited, and after some hesitation, I ended up purchasing this particular stand. All of the other engine stands looked like various rebranded Harbor Freight stands with so-so reviews, so I opted for this one because the design was a bit different, and because it had four wheels with the front crossmember being narrow enough to fit in between my engine hoist legs. Also, this model has angle iron mating surfaces that provide a bit more support where the various frame pieces meet, so I figured it would might actually meet its 1000 lb rating.The build quality on this is alright, about on par with what you'd get from Harbor Freight. The assembly instructions aren't very good and don't actually reflect this particular model accurately, but it's pretty simple to put together, so you don't really need them. It came with almost all of the hardware that was necessary to put it together, except it was missing a washer or two of one type and had extra washers and nuts of another type.I currently have a Honda D17A1 engine mounted on it, and it holds it just fine. I used the engine/transmission mounting hardware from the car to secure the engine to the stand. The stand rotates the engine, but with some difficulty. That's better than it rotating too easily and damaging something, though. It wheels around just fine, and is very stable overall. I purchased this thinking that I might use it for working on a 5.2L V8 that I have, and I think it would hold it fine, though I'm not sure how well it will rotate with that large of an engine.I don't think this engine stand is worth the $90 I paid, probably more around $70 or so, but with the slim pickings and questionable quality of the other engine stands on Amazon, I think this one is a reasonably safe bet.

Great buy if you value your money and are looking for special tools like these. The assembly could've been simpler if the hole on the legs ran thru both assembly sides, but nothing a wrench long pliers couldn't fix. Hold the head of the screw while inserting the nut on the outside. A bit tricky, but it can be done. Make sure you have the appropriate working screws to match the engine you will be working on.

exactly like it was described works well

12/24/14 arrived two days late. Package was severely beaten upon arrival. Cardboard was shifty and tape that lost its adhesive properties protruded out of the box. Benefit of the doubt kicks in. Open box. Paint is missing on multiple pieces. I know this because it should be yellow and asymmetrical tears of paint are on each yellow bar. Think to myself, "It's just paint, aesthetics aren't important if it works." I attempt to build. Mind you, I have a performance tool engine hoist that I built, PT jack stands, PT floor jack, etc. My garage is yellow due to being filled with PT devices. That being said, this had to be the worst instruction manual I have seen on anything I have ever needed to build. I'm not even talking about Performance Tool anymore. IKEA,Target,Wal-Fart, Harbor Freight....they got nothing on this worthless assembly instruction manual. I didn't really even need the instructions to build it, because you just know how it's supposed to go with like four pieces of metal and the picture as a frame of reference. But I looked at it anyway. There is no physical differentiation from the bolts. I had to bring out my digital caliper to make sure which bolts it was talking about. Didn't have two bolts I needed. Didn't have four washers and four nuts. Gave me a surplus of 8 different washers. Only came with three arms to hold the engine. Three! I got so depressed I just stopped even building. Might be more stuff missing. I'll update.

sturdy for the price, but we will have to cut and reweld the front wheel support because it's welded on crooked as you can see in the picture.

Got this for the new engine. Stand is sturdy and well balanced. Easy to turn engine over to get to top and bottom. Great investment.

Fabricated from good sturdy, steel members and the yellow is a good colour. Reaching some of the recessed areas to assemble with the less than spectacular assembly instructions was a challenge but got it all done. Wheels don't lock to stop it from rolling and most of all there was no way to manipulate the 4 linkage arms such that I could have all of them attached to 350 chevy engine at same time. Now I have engine attached to stand with 3 bolts rather than 4. I hope they hold but I will probably have to fabricate a different 4th piece to have max holding power and peace of mind. This would probably be better stand for big block

Good quality for the price and reasonably fast delivery.
