The repair stand legs are aluminum, the head is some kind of plastic not metal but hasn't been an issue so far - it's proved to be plenty strong. I like the overall design of it better than the portable Park stands I've looked at. The Bikehand stand opens up and extends and folds up quick, easy and compactly - uses quick-releases. The head rotates and locks to any angle you want. Has a tool tray I've found to be useful. It's very light - I take advantage of the way the head is designed and hang it from a sideways mounted rubberized J-hook that the ring around the back of the folded up head fits into like it was custom-designed for it.
And if you add homemade rubber dust boots to either one they work even better....(wink wink nudge nudge)
