No way would I use a 3 wheeled stand. I work alone. Accidents must be avoided at all cost. A 4 wheel is the safest. The best is a bargain. Snap On's have the wheels so far apart for stability that you can trip on them. That's dangerous, in my opinion. I've been extremely happy w/ my Lincolns purchased 40+ yrs ago. They handle most any engine you'd encounter. Exclude large straight 8s,GMC 702 V12s & Packard V12s. Those get done on the bench and maneuvered w/ my Lincoln crane, another top quality unit. Safety first.
I'd suggest Chev dropped the thru '42 end nuts because people overtightened them or found they were not necessary. Saved money and solved a problem simultaneously. David
