Firstly - I don't know HOW these people are breaking the welds on the shifter arm, but I think my video speaks for itself. I was VERY worried about that, given that some H-Position shifters require you to push down to "lock in" the reverse gear. As you can see the force necessary, as well as QUITE a bit more is NOT a problem for this stand. I'm really not sure what other people are doing, but this one particularly is pretty solid despite the horrendous spot welds they didn't even clean up.Fit and Finish: Not bad, could be better. Leaves a little too much wiggle room for my liking, but it's also one of the cheapest stands on the market that actually LOOKS decently equipped for the task. I had some paint chipped off here and there, and one of the plastic sleeves for the height adjustment was a bit disfigured, but a little heat took care of that.Quality for the price: Honestly probably better than several more expensive options out there. Yes, it will wiggle left and right, and slightly forward when pushed; and honestly that's NOT a bad thing. There's a reason that bridges move in the wind! When you're talking about the rigidity of an object it NEEDS to be able to move if there's force applied, otherwise it'll just break QUICKER.Alignment: Worked out perfectly for my particular use case, and situation; but it IS made in china - as most things on amazon are now a day - so there's going to be quality control issues, so be prepared for those.Instructions: Dog poop - Just toss them, and watch the video they have in the description or use the guide that was posted in the reviews by the other user. Theirs - even revised as mine were - are TERRIBLY written and literally say things like " this bolt goes on one side while this bolt goes on the other" Oh, okay, because I guess they're just freaking interchangeable, right? NOPE. Just poor translations at their best.Life Expectancy: I'm not honestly sure, but I am pretty certain that if you're not using this for some INSANE
