Review on 🔧 PCS-12.2 Park Tool Home Mechanic Bench-Mount Repair Stand - Black/Blue (Enhanced SEO) by Jarrett Love

You get what you pay for. Reviews of other bike repair stands seemed to address durability issues and plastic parts in particular. I have a heavy e-bike and didn't want to buy a tool twice. My daughter (mountain biker) recognized the Park Tool logo on the packaging she received and loved it - and with good reason. The expectation of a really reliable device was justified. While there is plastic in the jaw clamp just to cushion the hold of the bike frame, handlebars, and even the turnstile, it presses into place like an oversized cone washer and shouldn't reverse any stresses that could break it, not even the bike with 48#. Steel parts in industrial quality - absolutely free of play and kinks. To be honest, I was more worried about my workbench than my work stand. Very easy/intuitive to set up - really no instructions needed. It must be installed where the pedals underneath have free play.
