The one caveat is that the low cost comes at some expense if you get my
drift.. there are some plastic parts that are vulnerable to breaking off
during shipping, especially the part that locks the tripod legs. The first one
I brought home had this part snapped off and rendered the thing useless. I
took it back and checked the replacement before I left the store. I think the
main vulnerability is during shipping, I don't think it will spontaneously
self destruct at home without provocation. I already got my money's worth out
of it.

Dave,
I second Stan's recommendation about the Sears tripod lighting system. One
other point I can add is that the Sears tripod extends much higher than other
tripod units I have seen. I venture to say it will go up another foot to
eighteen inches. This makes a big difference when working in the interior of
the car because you can get the lights up high enough to see much better.

Dave, I bought this tripod lamp with two 500w halogen lamp unit from Sears
for
around $40. The system has adjustable height and the lamp unit detaches for
working in areas where the tripod cant go like under the car. It has been
perfect for my winter projects.
It puts out serious amounts of light and heat, both of which I appreciate
