My cog-type have no pins and I never worry. When there is weight on them the handle can not lift and release. It's a great age old design that works as well today as it has all along.

I know those old pin style stands, I may have used them once. Waste of $8.99 I'm guessing, K-mart or Grand Auto for certain. Cheap is always better when you're a kid and don't know better
. I wised up to cheap along time ago. Today I just buy stuff in error well too often, like the 4 pair of Vic Firth 7A I rec'd last week when the goal was 5A
