I agree ... sometimes. Where paddock stands are concerned, though, I'm not convinced. I've got a set of sharp racing stands and a set of Kaneg ones, and I guarantee the Kaneg ones are better and were significantly cheaper than the sharp ones, particularly the front head-lift stand.
would the reason be that Kaneg use a thicker tube than the others thats just 1 diference i have noticed
The biggest difference I found was the way they are designed - the Sharp one is a real PITA to lower down and I've injured my hand a few times when it snaps down. The Kaneg one is more controlled, or easier to control. The rear Kaneg stand has better pickups than the Sharp one too.
