    Wow, a solid 3.5" shaft? Are you supporting a tank? Mine has a 3/16" wall tube on the outside and a 3/16" wall tube on the inside. Actually I think it's metric.

    I was wondering about the bearings myself. I saw one stand that had a worm gear drive to rotate it. I happen to have a worm gear winch laying around and I may see if I can adapt it easily. I think removing that powdercoating and lubing it will make a lot of difference.

    I was about 16 or 17 what the hell did I know except "Mores Law" or bigger is better. I think about it now every time I pick the damn thing up.

    That price makes the 4ft pry bar look good.

    No need for a different stand. I got my block back and put it on my stand today, and it now works like a charm.

    Troy, that guy doesn't have enough to do.
