I need to get one , and have never owned one. Preferably one that can fold up and take up less room in my van. Any recommendations?

I just bought the tusk one in order to save my back a bit. The wankers from on trac damaged the box and half the parts are missing and I am still waiting over a week for rocky mountain to take care of it.

I've got a set of tires ready to swap out, so if it turns up I'll let.you know lol

I second this. There was an old broken stand left by a garbage can at a track so I took it home and welded it up. Used it a few times but always prefer the milk crate. It's all about your spoons and soapy water for me.

$75. Works great and is a huge step up from doing it the old fashioned way. Works fine!
I can second this. Been using mine for over a year... Probably a dozen front and rear changes. Makes the job a lot easier to handle. The rubber coating on the "stabilizer" hoops wears off pretty quick, but it doesn't matter because you're not going to notice tiny (if any) scratches on your stainless spokes.
