Harbor freight finally offers this product

Geared heads are great but (unless this one is designed different) the heads do not come off for easy installation onto the block. You must use a cherry picker to bolt the block to the head. With my old non geared head stand, I was able to bolt the head to the block in the back of my pick up and slide it into the stand without using a engine hoist. They work great otherwise.


Ya that’s not a biggie to me as I use my fold up cherry picker. I always had 3-5 stands up at anytime so after I bought one I had to have another. Price went up slightly between the two then shot up. Thinking back I think I may have bought my second one possibly from Jegs on a sale before they jumped up again. I almost bought their plasma cutter at that time too before they jumped up in price. Thinking I will never have one of those and honestly I didn’t use our in the steel mill very often either.
