Ron's Drawdown Stand

[Rastus]

What's the overall opinion of Ron's drawdown stand as well as the cantle binding attachment?

[bruce johnson]

Used both and wouldn't be without the stand. The cantle binding attachment is a back saver.

Thanks for the reply. Ive been wanting to pull the trigger on one but its a lot of money esp. not knowing if they r worth it.

Depends on how much you think you'll use it. A guy can sure make one himself, but that takes time. I think the draw down feature on Ron's is really handy. You can raise and lower it, or spin it and it doesn't change the strap tension. I was a the first Wickenburg show and a stand was not even on my radar screen. I got hung up BSing and my wife went on ahead. She came and grabbed me to go look at Ron's stands.She talked me into it. Never a regret.

I have one. I love it. I don't have the attachment though. Haven't needed it.

I'm 6'1" and bending over a Stohlman style stand like my brother uses he's 5' 6" kills my back.

I put my Ron's draw down on rollers so I could move it around the shop easier. It ain't light.

It cost a whole lot more than my brothers, but it goes up and down, and spins around as I need it to.

His just sits there. You got to walk around it and away from your tools and bench.

Of course the walking can be good exercise I'm told.

I've had mine for several years, it was money very well spent. Like Bruce said, the cantle binding attachment is a back saver. I also have the laser, it's handy enough, but I'm not sure I would replace it if it went out.

Received my new drawdown from Ron's Tools this last week. I put it to work and love it. Thanks for the input everybody!
