I just now noticed something I hadn't been aware of before, one of the sections of the tool tray on the repair stand has a magnet attached to the underside for holding small pieces in place.
A lot of thought was obviously put into designing it.
I forgot - I actually did make a homemade add-on for it - a couple of sandbag weights using Ziplock bags, landscaping sand, reinforced tarp material and Gorilla duct tape complete with carry handles - I put them on the ends of the legs to add stability, just in case I were to have a careless moment and knock into it. Hasn't happened yet but I could envision that it could. It's very stable with the weight of a bike on it but I imagine it could be knocked over which would seriously suck.
They're probably 15 lbs or so each. With the addition of these sandbags plus the weight of a bike you'd have to really be trying to knock it over.
