I liked my old maple EZ Just one, but it got left outside and rotted a little. The second one is the one I have, it works just fine.

Mine works fine. I replaced the machine bolts that secure the motor mounting blocks with carriage bolts, because it was hard to get to the heads to keep them from turning when tightening the bolts. I also replaced the sheetmetal screws with bolts. The one in the second attachment looks like it is more user friendly than the first. FWIW Glen

I thought my old test stand was an E-Z Just, but upon checking I can faintly see "Perfect" on it. Did Perfect make the E-Z Just stands? This ancient one is from the fifties.

The one I use for larger engines is from about 10 years ago, also wood (came in a kit) but I can't remember the brand name. The brand name does not appear on the stand, just on the assembly instructions.
