Strengths: Inexpensive
Weaknesses: PITA to use. Cheap and imprecise.
Bottom Line:
The stand is kind of inexpensive, which was attractive. And you can use it on a coffee table while sitting in your living room versus the Park stand which will require an additional base or mounting to a workbench. BUT the long and short of it is that it really isn't an ideal stand for anything more than quick truing and maybe building really crude disc wheels where you aren't too concerned with runout. The indicators on the stand are really imprecise and are easily bumped out of position when you flip the wheel to check for rough dish.
Bottom line? Save your money and a little bit more and buy a Park TS-2. WAY easier to use and way more precise. Or if you are really incapable of saving money go ahead an buy one and be aware that it is annoying to work with, at least the first few times.
It only gets 2 chilis for value because for maybe twice as much you can find the Park stand new.
