Dang! It took me about 5 minutes to even click on the link. Very cool tool though. I thought for a minute there I was going to be RickRolled :

Total price? Cost of an LS3. LOL

by time you buy every attachment I bet you’re at $3-5k+

I dont think it would be that expensive. You can pick up a porter power at princess auto/harbor freight in the states for under $150 then just need the head of the mechanics mate. If your in a shop most likely there is already a porter power there. then it's just buying the quick connect head and attachments. I'd assume each attachment sells for 50ish. And for the ls platform he probably has 5 tools.

I'll see if I can find a dealer and get pricing.

Just showed this to a co worker said he's buying it as soon as it's available if it's around a grand or so. It really seems like it would make our technician lives easier

The puller would be nice, but I can't see using the motorized stand much.

I can count the times I have used a stand on two fingers over the course of a decade in a shop.
