Whoa. Torrington bearings!!
That is the most over-engineered frame spreader I have ever seen. Most of the time I just use a length of 2x4, but once I used a cut section of banister, complete with a wood screw at the end (for zombies). If I'm committing real blasphemy and spreading a Vitus 979, I do it completely by hand. Quality tubing though sometimes requires a scissor jack!
