We have bought three of these for two bikes over a period of about six months. Both bikes are stored indoors and have never been left outside. The kickstands are rusting. The set screw for adjusting the length have fallen out of two. After the first, I hunted down the lost lower section, bought stainless screws and lock washers and changed both out. After the second, I couldn't find the lost section, so I (foolishly) bought an entire new kickstand and changed out the adjusting screw and added a lock washer. I still had to tighten the screws every three or four rides. Today, one of the bikes came back with the lower section missing in spite of having tightened the screw just before we left. Maybe they are not tapped correctly or something - I'm not enough of a machinist to figure this out - but I'm going elsewhere to buy two new kickstands.
