HTC HGP-12 Universal Tool Stand

Wow this was such great value for the money and was very functional. The adjustment capability was easy to use.

Went to install handle for adjustment on height and threaded the handle into the nut welded onto the main post and the hole wasn’t lined up. Destroyed the threads on the handle and now it won’t move at all (initial just thought it was paint on the inside of the nut), poor assembly quality and quality control. Hopefully the replacement won’t have the same issue or I’ll modify and weld it myself and make the fitment proper. Otherwise this product is going to get 5/5, had installed my welding positioner and clamped my arm rest on the stand before threading the handle into it and realized the handle threads were damaged. Product was very sturdy when assembled fully and seems to hold 300+ pounds without a problem (welding positioner + my body weight). Apart from the adjustable height issue, this product will be a major assist to my welding production as it allows the positioner to sit much lower than my table and is very stable while my heavy parts are being rotated around on the positioner for seamless welding. Could be used for so many different applications. I’ll update when the new table arrives, hopefully without this issue.

As the headline states, you get what you pay for...Spent hours searching for a stand that's lower than most tool stands across the internet, this one also doesn't cost over $200.Did not receive any instructions on how to assemble the table but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.The paint chips very easily.The pictures online show the base having pre-made holes but the table top that I got only has the two holes used to mount the base onto the adjustable neck of the stand.

This is a well built stand. I used this to help reinstall my evaporator enclosure in my 89 Vanagon. It is was easy to assemble and very sturdy. I recommend the manufacturer install a locking hand crank instead of just a locking handle, since it would have been easier to extend the table for one person.

I needed a stand for my 40 pound drill press. Unfortunately this table is a wobbly piece of junk. I had to re-assign it to my bench grinder (less than 7 pounds) and it barely works for that.

The previous reviewer is correct - the handle in the photo looks like it would crank the stand higher and lower but it does not. It simply clamps the height wherever you're holding it. I had read his review before buying, otherwise I would have been surprised by this.That said, as long as you can hold the height steady with one hand and tighten the handle with the other, it's easy and very secure. Further, you only have the get the height roughly correct using this method, then tweak the height-modifying rubber feet to exact height and level specifications.I mounted a heavy, maple workbench top on mine to match my existing Gladiator workbenches. I'm picky and wanted the height to exactly match my current setup and that was very easy to do.This is a very heavy, simple, and solid piece of equipment for $89 and I highly recommend it.

I have another one of these, model HGP-10, which is very satisfactory, so I didn't hesitate to order this one, model HGP-12. I was disappointed to find that the bolt holes on one side of the outer square tube of the pedestal were mis-punched so that they did not line up with the holes in the leg. According to the provided warranty information, defective parts must be shipped to the manufacturer for assessment, and the entire thing would have had to be repacked to return it to Amazon, either of which would have been annoyingly inconvenient. So, I just milled the holes into slots, after which there were no further problems with assembly. (A drill press or even a hand drill also would work.) These are sturdily made stands and have the important advantage for me of being adjustable to be high enough, so I would probably buy another one, but the quality control should be better.

This is my new scroll saw table. It is perfect. I put casters on it. Expensive, but well designed
