Default Anyone used an STFL headstock lift?

Hi,

Looking to get my forks serviced and so thought now may be a good time to invest in a front lift. Some German guys on ebay have a lift which you can have delivered for £40. Unfortunately their 20% discount ended at the weekend so now £50 delivered but apparently another sale will be on in a few weeks.

Anyone ever used a STFL lift? Looks to be a different design to the bike tec ones but may just be because it's been photographed from a different angle.

Bought one a couple of years ago on recommendation of Berlin & andrewsmith & fine for both SV & Street Triple - would NEVER trust one of those two finger jobbies under the sliders.
What price stability?

I think I've got the STFL lift...never had any problems with it and as Puny says, WAY better than those 2 finger fork jobbies.
