went together within 10 minutes using only a rubber mall
for heavy duty grinder I would not recommend, but for average home owner its all you need, goes together quick and is very sturdy
But make sure to read instructions first, don't hammer wrong leg
in pocket, it will be hard to disassemble.
The only thing I would add is 1/4"bolt holes to make sure it does not
come apart.
When I first opened the box, I was disapointed in this stand. Given its' price, I decided to go ahead and see how it would do.
Assembly is not easy, the tabs fit VERY tight. It does take more force from a hammer than what you would think to get it assembled.
However, again given the price, it is suprising strong given its' light weight. I've got an 8" variable speed grinder on it and it stays put regardless of what I am doing.
Sure, there are stronger (and heavier) stands available through Sears, but for the price compared to the other stands it does quite well.

Not recommended. Legs are 2 pieces. Entire stand is held together by tabs not hardware. Very cheap and flimsy design. Not the quality you would expect from Craftsman.
Very poor value. Type of product that I would expect from K-mart or similar verity store, not tool store. I have a shop fulll of Craftsman tools; but, this is last one I will buy.
Directions call for the use of a rubber mallet in assembly. I needed a 10 Lb. deadblow hammer.
