Dk dc I know pitbull is stamped made in America. But that's not saying much considering the materials used are likely imported.

And anymore the stamp of made in America is decreasing in quality

excellent review ___Z___. Santa brought me a trex rear stand.. gold zinc too but it has the single pole handle making it look almost exactly like a Pit Bull.
It feels super solid to me as well.

I don't know where Pitbull gets their material. The tubing is one-piece and not welded together the way I've seen many other stands. The fit and finish are well worth what I paid for it. They also carry a lifetime warranty.

My rear stand is some cheap import I got from Cycle Gear when I first bought my bike. My front one is a Pitbull pin type. I only bought it because I could not find any other brands of that style at the time I was shopping. When I opened the box I was greatly impressed by the quality of craftsmanship and I immediately understood why they cost a bit more than the others.

Ill be honest and say that while yes you do see great quality and craftsmanship, you also get the same feeling when viewing the trex..

I am all for made in america products, but not when you are paying alot extra for the "name" not just the quality

ill make sure and update as I go along... as of now no complaints yet..

I guess I was originally just asking where the T-rex is made. From something I found on a Google search one person said they are made in Texas. Is there a sticker on it somewhere that says "Made in...."?

terrible review. several comparisons weren't performed:

- Which one gets hit on the most at a bar.

- which makes the best emergency flotation device.

- which bounces highest when thrown from a 5-story window

- which one makes you feel "pretty"

and finally

- there wasn't a steel cage fight-to-the-death between the 2 stands, Thunderdome style. 2 men enter, only one walks out.
