Link for purchase $177.00: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/sunex-tools-8400-1-ton-engine-stand#oid=1002_1

Harbor Freight 1/2 ton stand $59.99: http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-engine-stand-69886.html

There really is no comparison between these 2 tools. I just used the Harbor Freight stand as a frame of reference to differentiate between a 1/2 ton model and a 1 ton model. I probably should have mentioned in the video that if the engine had 'spun' on the stand as it did in the Mustang Engine Pull video, it probably would have fallen over. Here's a link to that video.

My only regret is not getting a model with a hand crank. Thing is, that unit doesn't have the same capacity as this one does. Half in fact.

That said, I'm very happy with my new engine stand and I'm looking forward to using it to build my 306.

Take some time and figure out which engine stand would be right for you.
