Excellent ! Très stable, robuste, le réglage est très précis grâce a la vis. Le rouleau est lourd et tourne très bien. La tête peut se bloquer grâce à une vis poignée sur le côté, ainsi elle ne peut plus pivoter quand on la bloque. Je pense que c’est une amélioration qui a été apportée car j’avais vu dans certains commentaires sur vevor et ici que la tête pouvait pivoter à tout moment, ce n’est plus le cas. J’ai pu en essayer plusieurs et celui-ci est de loin le meilleur.

This would easily be a home run product, if the roller head didn't swivel freely in the stand base. Hence only 3 stars for stability, as if the roller swivels 90 degrees in the base under load, you could have a Very Bad Day. The easiest fix for that I've come up with is to use a worm clamp to hold some 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/8" steel angle to the base, and then use another worm clamp to hold the acme threaded rod to the angle. (It should be apparent that the legs of the angle should straddle the central tube of the base, as well as the acme threaded rod.) It doesn't take much to keep the head from swiveling, but it's important.That gripe aside (and you shouldn't dismiss it out of hand), these are extremely strong stands, and the tripod bases are extremely stable. These are just SO much stronger than those cheap stands that are made of thin square tubing and have pinch-type height adjustments, that there is just NO comparison. Yes, they cost 2x as much, and they are worth it if you are, for example, feeding heavy wood slabs into a drum sander or table saw. The pinch height adjustment stands just will NOT support heavy.One huge caveat here-- I just didn't trust the friction collar that enables you to raise the tube in the stand base, which is how Vevor claims the range of useful heights for these stands, under their claimed 2500# loads. Heck, I wouldn't trust that friction collar (and associated set screw) under 250# load. What I did (and it has worked perfectly under load) was to go to my local remnant steel vendor and buy 10' of 1.75" OD x 1.5" ID steel tubing, and cut it to various lengths such that each could just sit at the bottom of the stand, while providing bearing surfaces for the nut on the acme threaded tang of the roller head. Now I'm in Tall Cotton (as opposed to Deep Kimchee), able to support many hundreds of pounds of load at any height up to 72" on a fully adjustable stand with 5 self-made tube inserts of different lengths (plus the one that came with the stand.) One of those 5 self-made tube inserts was 6" long, which I could add under any of the longer ones, which made all of the longer ones (cut in 1' increments longer than the tube provided with the stand) able to cover 12" of height adjustment, given the length of the stand's acme threaded rod.One other point. I chatted with a Vevor representative, asking if they separately sold the other "heads" that they sell with the same style base. That includes a 4-ball V-shaped roller head, a plain V-shaped head, and two other types. (I was thinking to improve the versatility of the base at less cost than buying the other styles of complete stands.) Nope, no can do. (Product suggestion, Vevor!) But you know what? You can buy acme threaded rod and acme nuts (McMaster-Carr, if you want to open your wallet wide), and weld a flat or a V-shaped steel top to it-- whatever floats your boat (or wood slab, or large diameter pipe, etc.) Note that the ID of the tube that comes with this stand is only 1.495", so you'd need to but 1-3/8" OD acme threaded rod to work with that. The nominally 1.5" ID DOM (aka "seamless") tubing I bought has an ID of 1.553", so I could use 1.5" OD acme threaded rod. But if you get welded seam 1.5" ID tubing, you will want to go for the 1-3/8" OD acme threads, or you will have to bore the tubing to knock down the internal weld bead. (Welded seam steel tubing is MUCH less expensive than DOM, and plenty strong enough for this application, but I tend to overkill everything. Just don't cheap out and buy thin wall tubing-- that could collapse in bending, even if it would never collapse in compression.)Is this stand worth the money, given all I've written about above? Yep. Can you make it MUCH better with some remnant steel and minor sweat equity investment? Oh, Hell yeah. Can you improve its versatility with some [fairly costly] acme threaded rod and nuts? That's my working theory, but validation is still TBD.

These are heavy, much heavier than other we have. The tripod design means they do not rock like other designs do, and this is a big deal when used around tablesaws, shapers, and other industrial equipment. these are highly adjustable with large handles that make it easy for the largest clumsiest hand to use and easy for smaller hands to make sure they can tighten them securely. a few points in the metal construction could be done better but probably not at this price point. there is some sloppiness to them in how they fit together, well beyond what is necessary for them to operate in dusty or dirty conditions which is all that keeps these from getting a 5 star rating. they fold up to take up a little less space in the shop or the truck which is also a bonus. these are probably the best outfeed roller stands I have used.
