Today I finally bought a work stand and got a park tool pcs9 for an excellent price.

Looking forward to my build tonight and I’ve only heard good things about this stand.

I’ve bought cheap before and it’s broke so hopefully this will last me a long while.

Have a Park stand came from a cycle shop which closed down must be 20 years old sound as pound great stuff.wasnt new.

I’ve got a pcs9 fantastic bit if kit, don’t know how I managed without one

I’ve got a few bits and pieces but would like this next:

Yeah it’s fantastic. Doesn’t fold up too well but it is really sturdy and the clamp works really well.

THE Park Tool that everyone should own at some point in their life… If only to compare other tools against.

My “slightly” older version is 15+ years old and still going strong 🙂

My PCS9 is let down by the crappy plastic height adjuster imo.

Workstands seemed like overkill until I bought one then I found them to be really practical.

I still have a battered PCS-1 I got for my birthday back when I was a teenager. 2 years ago it needed a new ‘head’ and jaw covers for the clamp, 14 year old stand, long out of production but spares were sent over from the States to my LBS no problem, try that with your Lidl special!

Park AWS-4. The best multi tool of all time! 4mm, 5mm, 6mm Allen keys and Phillips and slotted screwdrivers. All you need!

I brought a pair of Park cable cutters in 1996 and I still use them. They still cut like they are new. Recommended!

I got my pcs10 stand a few weeks ago along with the wheel trying jig. Gotta say I think it’s a great bit of kit. Would recommend to anyone!!

Really appreciate mine, not sure if its better than others or worse but it seems well made.
An angry piece of kit to move around in a garage with a car in it.

Among other things I own one of these 🙂

I have a rather old pcs4 race stand with the 100-3c modern clamp and its battered abused and would not be without it

THE Park Tool that everyone should own at some point in their life…

IIRC That tool is made for Park by Bondhus – but I do stand to await correction on this. For bike stuff I do tend to have more Park tools than any other – buy cheap, buy twice!

Bondus make hex keys for many others inc park snap on and prob others
Top quality and cheap with proper warranty , all good

I have a piece of strong from one of the rafters with a loop for the saddle. It make me sad, but it works.
