The only negative i saw is that it may not resist heavy duty cranking while working on the drive train?

I have this one too, except branded xtools. Paid 75$ for it brand new from a local kijiji seller. I'm guessing the guy got a bunch of em from china to save on shipping or something.

So far, satisfied. I've used the Park equivalent (PCS9?) and the xtools for sure feels a bit more flimsy/flexy, but it works. If I was wrenching on bikes a lot, I'd probably pony up for the park, but for the occasional cleaning or repair, the xtools has been doing good for a year now.

Do check your local CL/kjj for park stands though, I've seen them go around 120-140 around here, which is a good deal.
