T-Rex-Racing - finally I got me a rear stand

[psycledelic]

+1 That is most definitely a Pitbull knock-off, with a few minor tweaks as necessary. The curve on the handle is even the same as the newer Pitbull stands.

Looks like a nice stand though...I like how the arm can be removed and placed on the other side. I've never needed a wheel stop, but whatever.

I love their patent statement at the bottom of the page!  Um, OK.

Could it be that Pit Bull saw the T Rex arm and decided to "borrow" their design?! 
Interesting!

Maybe...I don't know how long T-Rex has been making them. My curve-handled Pitbull stand is about 3 years old though.

i love people who get pissed at a "rip off" or "similarly styled but way cheaper" just becuase they spent more money for a very similar product. All it tells me is that they bought it to be cool. Anyone who purchased a Pitbull stand for its true quality shouldn't give a flying f*ck if someone else spends less money on a similar stand. i find it entertaining.

Not sure anyone has gotten pissed about it though...more of an observation.

I'd be pissed if I worked for Pitbull...but I don't.

'Zactly ... It's like:

CRG vs Pazzo
CRG vs Cheap Knockoffs
Coke vs Pepsi

etc 

Personally, I love my Pit Bull stands ... but at the end of the day, they're just fookin' stands

I replied earlier to this posting about my appreciation for T-Rex.
The fact is, I have Pit Bull stands cause they were who I was recommended to when I wanted some stands. If I had been recommended to T-Rex first, I would have bought T-Rex.
I'm sure both products are good. As I stated, their frame sliders and service have been impeccable. I haven't really dealt with Pit Bull aside from buying stands from them. Both companies are good, as far as I can tell.
