Bought a cheap hoof stand online and it broke in a month

Saw a 'professional' hoof stand on a discount site for $80, which was way less than my usual brand. The first few trims it felt a bit wobbly, but I figured it just needed breaking in. Last Tuesday, the whole adjustable arm snapped clean off while I was working on a draft cross, nearly dropped his foot. Wasted the $80 and had to finish the job the hard way. Anyone know a good, solid stand that won't quit on you?

Wait, it actually snapped while you were using it? That's terrifying! I can't imagine the piece flying off like that. Cheap tools are never worth the risk.

My buddy had one snap and the piece shot right past his head, it was insane.

Three years ago @paulw53, I almost gave my coworker an unwanted haircut with a flying rasp shard. Guess that's what I get for buying the "budget special" at 2 AM on Amazon.
