I agree with you that the stand does support materials very well. From floppy lengths of siding to 2 x 10′s the support arms/rollers do a good job, even without the legs.

My buddy has the same stand, purchased a year before mine, and it’s different. There were some design changes made.

I often think about how harshly I’ve condemned this stand on Toolboxblog.com but then again I use it regularly and it still irks me every time. It’s a bad marriage for me. I need the stand, haven’t looked for an alternative, complain about it yet making a living using it regularly as a primary tool on the job.

Shave off 50lbs. Eliminate the metal, knobs and parts that are excessive. It’s unwieldy.

I have one of these supporting my DeWalt DW718, and for the most part, I like it. But, I am just a hobbyist, and I roll the thing out of my garage into the driveway for a Saturday. I am not trucking it to a site, and then having the undocumented doing OJT on my tools in some customer’s back yard. Mine must be slightly different — I don’t have those supporting legs under the rollers (or perhaps I have them and don’t know it), and my extensions seem sturdy enough that I don’t seem to need them. It’s not perfect, but it seemed to be the best choice available when I bought it. My only complaint it that the chrome plating is coming off of one of the rollers (the most used one).

I hope so. When I first got mine, I thought it was for skis but put it to use in my woodshop. Here I sit next to writing this reply, now 20 years later.

A good friend of mine just gave me a brand new, never used, barely opened, all the extras including the turntable, Zyliss Vice. I had no idea what it could be used for so did some research and happened on this posting. I believe it will soon become a favorite tool in my woodshop/metal shop/hobby shop/garage.

My new RED WHEELS, left outside for 2 days, are NOW ORANGE WHEELS. (Apparently they do not hold up to Autumn UV)

I am not sure where to get grips like that BUT… There is a product that is a liquid which you can pour onto objects to form a handle.

Other than that… bike handles are at the bike store.
Handles can be found that fit your application.
Take one from one object and put on another?

I just acquired the Profi-King Plus from my deceased father-in-law’s work room… it appears it never has been used, but it has no instructions on how to mount or to use all the various attachments….Can anyone suggest where I may acquire any documents that may be available? Thanks
