Anyone got one of these newer models? have they improved the locking
mechanism at the sides when in full height?

Ive got the older model and the mechanism fails when you're least
expecting
it. :-(

I've got one which looks like that, but it's 25 years old
and has a plywood top. I can't imagine how the full height
locks could fail -- it effectively just stands on the extra
extension legs.

Dad has an older cast aluminium frame one, from quite soon
after they first came out.

I have a vague recollection of it claiming to take a ton
weight, which is a lot more than that Screwfix one claims.
Not sure if that relates to mine or dad's.

This one is about 25 or more years? I'll take a photo of the locking
mechanism,basically its nothing special sort of a hook and pin and its
become unsafe and I'm pondering on buying a new one but I would like to know
if the one posted has been improved?
