Pipe Jack Stand V-Head Foldable Legs 2500LB Max. Height 52"

Threading a long length of pipe with the free end propped on a milk crate is how workshop jobs turn into repairs. This folding tripod takes that end at working height and cradles it in a V-head while you work.

A V-head finds the centre of round stock

Flat pads let pipe roll; the V-shaped head seats it between two faces so it settles instead of wandering. The supplier lists it for pipe from 1/8 in to 12 in (0.32 to 30.48 cm), which covers conduit, water pipe and heavier structural round. Three legs spread the load and a strut tension plate ties them together for lateral support, which matters the moment a grinder catches.

Height set by a locking ring

The column adjusts from 28 in to 52 in (71 to 132 cm), so the head comes level with a saw table or bench rather than being packed up on offcuts. One hand stays on the pipe while the other works the ring. Legs fold in and the handle is rubber-covered, so it stows in a corner between jobs.

Key features

• Steel construction: the supplier describes it as resistant to rust and corrosion.
• Tripod base: widened, rounded footpads and a strut tension plate for sideways support.
• Locking ring: height changes without tools.

Before you load it

• This is a pipe support stand, not a vehicle axle stand. Nothing in the supplier information rates it to hold a vehicle, so never put it under a car, ute or 4WD.
• The capacity is a single maximum figure with no stated basis. Treat it as the limit for this one stand and confirm it with the supplier.
• Set the legs on level, solid ground and check the locking ring is engaged before letting go of the pipe.
• No standard, certification or test rating is stated for this stand.
