Great stuff also fed up with lugging big wooden blocks in and out the shed to use my mx stand, had thought about using an old car jack so now newly inspired will get fettling. rigged up with an old drill in place of the handle. great stuff.

Just my dads got a varadero and he just bought a centre stand which does the job.

Love the cordless drill as well for spinning it up quicker:044:

I really should've pointed this out, the drill pictured is not your regular type, it's a heavy duty corded 1/2" tripple reduction model, it only turns 500rpm and has tons of torque, anything less will get burnt up !

Wow....

Wow...

I was thinking of making a scissor jack stand and low and behold this came up in my search for someting else

I already have a stand I made which uses a hydrolic jack but was contemplating a scissor one...

Any way - to any one who has made one of these - how stable is the scissor jack?

The jack i have wobbles a bit when raised

Cheers

thats a kool idea...

I have a DRG bike lift... a waist of time on my bikes
have to lift them on to it...
I have used my hydrulic floor jack with 20mm ply bolted
onto it...works great but is a bit unstable.. needs a wider foot print..

Why do you need a lifting device?
Would a centre stand not do the same job, with added advantage that you can use it out on a ride when you have a flat tyre
Nice job though
