Arrow Wheel Jockey

Has anyone tried a "Wheel Jockey"? Just wondering if it works as stated, and the quality.
Thanks for any information.
I tried searching for this, but came up with nothing.

Haven't used that brand...but I have the one you can get at Harbor Freight for less cash and it worked fine

But honestly I just toss my bikes up on the lift or Jack and do the wheels that way.. but if you don't have a jack or lift these make it much easier to clean your wheels

Got a different model that's wider. Used it once. with the bike leaning on the stand the tire starts tracking sideways as you rotate it - basically turned out to be a PITA. Would probably work ok if the bike was fully upright - but can't really do that. Easier to use the lift.

i bought the hf one as well. used it once and found it to be a pita and basically tossed it into the pile of 'well it seemed like a good idea at the time' things....
