I posted this before in another thread, but having used it properly yesterday, it really did work well and was very easy to use.
Doesn't seem to have bent under use, as far as I can see.

However, I've gone a bit wash-stand-crazy and made another one from a Ducati bike stand that was in the scrap metal bit at the local tip

I had to turn a rod down using a very ad-hoc method (wood lathe and flappy disc on grinder) but it does actually work.

Minor downside, but not vital to me.
Other downside is it is quite big, not heavy but much more cumbersome that the other one I made.

The bigger one would be a pain for tuning as you can't do a full crank revolution.
Though it might be strong enough for a 23kg ebike without that sloping leg, as it's meant for motorbikes.

Personally I prefer to wash the bike with it fully lifted off the ground so you can spin the wheels, so I just use a cheap Aldi bike stand
