- Northern Tools has a 1000 lb engine stand for $34.99. The 1250 lb stand is $69.99 which is disproportionate. Makes me wonder. Anyone have experience with the 1/2 ton stand and is it adequate? Bill '7

- Bill a 1/2 ton stand is more than enough for an MG engine. When my engine was apart I could pick up the block on my own which means that its by far less than a 100Kg. Don't waste your money on a stan

- When I was buying Bill, the smaller stand was basically a three leg stand while the 1250lb stand was a four. Translated, I mean, the bigger stand has a wide footprint at the end of the long central l

- I don't work on big or heavy engines but I opted for the "H" shaped engine stand for stability. It takes up no more floor space except for that front crossbar that I tripped over until I got used to

- The $34.99 stand is disproportionately low, and totally adequate for even an Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 engine. I know; mine from Harbor Freight (same stand, $50 + freight in 1986) carried the Healey's e

- Thanks! I got excited about this and called the local discount tool place. I can get a slightly less hefty one (which will do for me, since the only engines I work on are Minis and MGs) about a mile
