Yeah, I've got no problem with mine. It's nice and sturdy. I do need a front though.

I never tried their front but the rear had a couple of features that I actually liked better than the Pitbull...the removeable handle was cool so I could get it out of the way and wouldn't trip over it...makes it easier to stor/transport plus I could use it in other situations as a leverage bar.

The padded part that makes contact with the ground kept it from getting scratched up or scratching the floor and the built in axle holders was a bonus as well.

Yeah, for sure, those are nice features.

Yep! I have Pitbulls but I have to keep them locked up because they keep attacking my other stands....

Seriously, I have pitbull and Vortex stands and I find myself always using the vortex stand because of the removable handle and the axle holders. Of course, with your tail section situation, you might want to go with one armed PB...

Maybe that's why some go for T-Rex ?

I really wanted to get the Abba stands, but they are hard to find in Canada.
