We received a Park PCS-1 work-stand and a BK-2 rollup workshop from Park Tools to review.
The PCS-1 stand was very easy to put together, I only needed a hex wrench and pliers to put it together. The stand is very sturdy, and very adjustable. Here are the specs of the PCS-1:
” Height adjustment from 54-inches to 72-inches (1.4m to 1.8m)
” A quick-adjusting 100-1C clamp that fits frame tubes up to 1-5/8″ (41mm).
” Infinite 360 degree rotation for securing bike at a variety of angles.
” Quality construction for years of trouble-free use.
” Flip handle makes it easy to secure the angle of the bike.
” Tapered rotational locking system.
” Folds easily for storage.
” Competitively priced.
” Strong, sturdy, and attractive.
” Constructed of heavy steel tubing and powder coated for a long lasting finish.
” Rubber feet are adjustable for uneven floors.
” For easy storage, simply lift the stand and the legs fold together.
” The stand will accept the Extreme Range clamp 100-5X
What I liked: I liked the sturdiness, the ease of set-up, ease of use and the adjustability.
What I didn’t like: This stand is great; I didn’t find anything I didn’t like.
Recommendation: I will definitely recommend this stand to an avid home wrench.
