I bought two of these over the years from Summit and once you use one you fall in love with them. Fantastic for cleaning and prepping a block and it stops in any position when you are assembling an engine.
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.
Next time they have a 20% coupon I will have one in the garage...

That looks exactly the same as the NAPA branded one I have. They are worm drive, which means you don't need a brake nor worry about it "unwinding"
I have had good luck with a Daytona brand jack that I bought a few years ago. If this stand is as good as the jack I would hesitate to pick one up.My worry with anything HF is that the casters will deteriorate just sitting there

Last 20%er I had, I used on a 9000lb winch. Saved about 60 bucks.I’m a club member and I occasionally still get 20-25% off coupons BUT many of those are limited on what you can use them on and one product only.

You think it could handle a all cast ironTrust me you will love it. I would just pull up a stool and chase threads, clearance grind, and wash and dry a block. I turned one of my old stands into one for doing transmission and 9 inch rearend builds. Summit sells that attachment.
Watch all the holidays.....I haven't seen a 20% coupon in years! (Maybe on their website? I don't go there much.....)
That’s my next HF purchase. Are you happy with yours?
