Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I'm glad i purchased the ts-8. It's not cheap, but it's very well made and it's good value for the money.

The slider now moves smoothly with precision. The only negative is you need a screwdriver to tighten one of the arms that support your axle. The mechanism for moving the caliper in and out is a little bit of a hassle to deal with.

It stands solidly on its own, only rocking if you give the wheel a good spin. Heavy enough to use as-is without bolting it to something else.

Cons

The next problem is the sliding arm itself. The traveling arm has too much vertical motion. This makes for sloppy results when dealing with a tool which is supposed to be used for precision.

Shipping

First let me say shipping at amazon is the greatest.

Almost everything i have ordered from amazon has arrived on time or a couple days early.

Competitiveness

Comparable stands from other manufacturers have a tendency to be a bit on the flimsy side, while this affordable stand makes ac... Read More
