Park ToolPCS-10.2 - Deluxe Home Mechanic Repair Stand

From the moment I opened the box, I was really impressed with this bike stand. Extremely well packaged, all parts were in perfect condition. Assembly was incredibly easy. Part fit and finish is perfect. Every part is rock solid. The bike clamp is an absolute beast and holds my heaviest bike with ease, with no deflection in the stand. To be fair, this bike stand cost twice as much as the lower cost units, but when you see how well it is made and how easily it folds and how functional it is, I am very glad that I paid the extra cost. It has been a long time since I have been this impressed with a product.

Excelente. Muy buena calidad, y además súper practico. Robusta y fiable . Muy recomendable. Calidad profesional

Muy buen producto y buena guía para el armado, la única cuestión seria que de diciembre a enero subió mucho su costo

Très belle couleur bleue typique de Park Tool avec la qualité de la marque.Après un montage assez simple, l'ensemble semble robuste et rempli parfaitement sa fonction. Le maintient du vélo est excellent (utilisé pour VTT). A voir dans le temps mais les matériaux inspirent confiance et la qualité globale est très correcte, je recommande !

I haven't run into any significant issues with this stand. It is very solid with thick gauge steel construction, a wide 3 point base that centers the weight of the bike over the feet, a very solid bike clamp that doesn't slip in any position (unlike some other models), and tear drop shaped tubes to eliminate any unintended slipping/rotating of the height-adjustable tube.The stand comes partially assembled. The rest of the assembly is very easy and only took about 10 minutes...they even include the tools you need to put it together (a small wrench and a couple allen keys).It also comes with a little tray that mounts on the vertical arm. It's small but still very handy for holding nuts/bolts or small items along with a bunch of holes for your screwdrivers, allen wrenches, etc. You can get optional accessories for it as well like a paper towel holder or a larger tray.One of the reasons I chose this stand was for the base. It uses a wide 3 point system with 2 folding legs that extend out to the sides and sit very low to the floor. The vertical tube comes up and forward at an angle so that when the bike is clamped it is hanging above the legs and centered between the 3 contact points of the base. This makes for a very balanced and stable setup. The legs are low to the floor so they don't get in the way and are easy to step over and there are no legs or space taken up on the backside of the stand. It could be placed up near a wall/shelf needed.Some other models use a tripod style base with an arm that extends straight up. The clamps on these put the weight of the bike more forward of the base instead of being centered over it...not as stable. The legs are higher and more in the way as well, including on the backside of the stand. I find the park-style base to be more solid and less obtrusive.The clamp mechanism for the bike was also big selling point. It is very solid and easy to use. The quick release handle lets you quickly clamp it around your seat post and then just needs a quick turn or 2 to snug it up...reverse the process to remove it. It literally just takes a few seconds and is very nice compared to some other models where you have to screw or unscrew the clamp the whole way.Also I often rotate my bike to some more extreme near-vertical angles to bleed brakes, clean the underside, etc and the clamp has no problem holding it in these higher stress positions. Ive used other brand's stands where you had to turn the clamp insanely hard to get the bike to stay in these positions and even then it will still start sagging/slipping. The park clamp is just rock solid in comparison.It's not the cheapest stand out there but unfortunately most cheaper models aren't going to give you the same solid performance.
